9-10 WHEELS I TIRES
.After the tire beads seat in the rim flanges, check for air
leaks. Inflate the tire slightly above standard inflation.
Use a soap and water solution or submerge the tire, and
check for bubbles that would indicate leakage.
.Adjust the air pressure to the specified pressure (see Tire
Inspection).
.Install the brake disc(s) so that the disc rotation mark
aligns with the tire rotation (see Brake System chapter) .
.Adjust the wheel balance.
.Position the tire on the rim so that the valve is at the tire
balance mark (the chalk mark made during removal, or
the yellow paint mark on a new tire).
.Install the tire on the rim using a suitable commercially
available tire changer.
.Lubricate the tire beads and rim flanges with a soap and
water solution or rubber lubricant to help seat the tire
beads in the sealing surfaces of the rim while inflating
the tire.
.Center the rim in the tire beads, and inflate the tire with
compressed air until the tire beads seat in the sealing
surfaces.
Be sure to install the valve core whenever inflating the
tire. and do not inflate the tire to more than 400 kPa
(4.0 kg/cm2. 57 psi). Overintlation can explode the tire
with possibility of injury and loss of life.
.Check to see that the rim lines on both sides of the tire
sidewalls are parallel with the rim flanges.
Rim Line
.If the rim flanges and tire sidewall rim lines are not
parallel, remove the valve core. Lubricate the rim flanges
and tire beads. Install the valve core and inflate the tire
again.
