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 SEAT 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 finger 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
previous section (Fig. 5.2-4). With low profile tyres
the bead depressor tool "MX" (optional
EAA0247G70A) can help to facilitate mounting of
the top bead.
