IMPORTANT!
BEFORE MOUNTING A TIRE ON A RIM ENSURE THE
FOLLOWING RULES ARE OBSERVED:

INCLUDING ‘TAPE WEIGHTS’ INSIDE THE RIM.
B. THE TIRE MUST BE CLEAN AND DRY, WITH NO
DAMAGE TO THE BEAD AND THE CASING.

ONE OR REPLACE THE ‘O’ RING IF THE VALVE STEM
IS MADE OF METAL.
D. IF THE TIRE REQUIRES A TUBE, MAKE SURE THE
