4.3 INFLATION OF TUBELESS TIRES

Make sure that both beads are properly lubricated.
WARNING!
BEAD SEATING IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PART OF
MOUNTING A TIRE.
IT IS POSSIBLE TO MOUNT TIRES THAT ARE 1/2" SMALLER
IN DIAMETER THAN THE RIM THAT THEY ARE MOUNTED
ON. WHILE THESE BEADS WILL SEAL, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO
GET THEM TO SEAT IN THEIR PROPER POSITION.
EXPLOSION OF A TIRE MAY CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR
DEATH.
