MOUNTING THE TIRE
It is important to inspect the tire and rim to prevent tire explosion during the
inflating operation. Before beginning the mounting operation, make sure that:
The tire is not damaged. If you find defects DO NOT mount the tire.
The rim is without dents and is not warped. Pay attention to alloy rims, internal
micro-cracks may not be visible to human eye. This can compromise the rim and
can also be a source of danger especially during inflation.
The diameter of the rim and tire are exactly the same. NEVER try to mount a tire
on a rim if you cannot identify the diameter of both.
•
Lubricate the tire beads with the correct grease in order to avoid damaging them and to
facilitate the mounting operation.
NEVER keep your hands under the tire during rim locking. For a correct
locking operation set the tire exactly in the middle of turntable.
.
When working with rims of the same size it is not necessary always to lock and
unlock the mounting bar.
