5.2 Mounting tubeless tyres

· Lubricate the entire rim surface (Fig. 5.2-1).
Lubricate both beads, inside and outside, (Fig.
5.2-2).
OBSERVE THE ROTATION DIRECTION OF
THE TIRE, IF REQUIRED. SOME TIRES HAVE
A COLOR DOT THAT MUST BE KEPT ON THE
OUTSIDE OF THE WHEEL.
LIBERAL LUBRICATION OF THE TIRE AND RIM
IS NECESSARY TO MOUNT TIRE CENTERING
CORRECTLY AND GET A PROPER ON THE
RIM. BE SURE YOU ARE USING APPROVED
LUBRICANT ONLY.
· Lock the rim on the turntable and rotate it to have
the valve in 5 o'clock position. Place the tire to
be mounted on the rim. Swing the mounting arm
forward so that the mount/demount tool is in the
working position. Engage the lower bead OVER
the mounting wing and UNDER the mounting fi nger
of the mounting tool. Turn the wheel clockwise and
push the tire down into the drop center, opposite to
the mount/demount head (Fig. 5.2-3).
· Mount the upper bead following the directions in
section B (Fig. 5.2-4). With low profi le tyres the bead
depressor tool "MX" (optional #EAA0247G70A) can
help to facilitate mounting of the top bead.
NOTE: FOR NARROW SIDEWALLS, RUN FLATS, OR
EXPECIALLY STIFF TIRES IT IS RECOMMENDED
TO USE THE EASYMONT-PRO OPTIONAL
ACCESSORY.
