9.6. WHEEL MOUNTING
RISK OF EXPLOSION. Always check that the tyre/rim combination is correct in terms
of compatibility (tubeless tyre on tubeless rim, tyre type with inner tube on rim for
inner tube) and geometric dimension (shrinkage diameter, width cross section, off-
set and shoulder profile) before mounting.
AVOID THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURIES OR DEATH.
Also check that the rims are not deformed, that their fastening holes have not
become oval, that they are not encrusted or rusted and that they have no sharp
burrs on the valve holes.
Check that the tyre is in good condition with no signs of damage.
- Before you start with tyre mounting operations,
lubricate the beads (fig.27).
Lubricated beads require less force to mount
and are protected against damage.
- Check that the tyre is in good condition with no
signs of damage.
- Adjust the tyre on the rim and take the operating
arms into the working position.
- Position the bottom bead (fig.28) beneath the
right hand side of the tool head.
Press the turntable control pedal
Use the rim channel by pressing on the right wall of the tyre to reduce traction force on
the bead as the wheel rotates (fig.28).
