Apply tire lubricant to the tire bead.
When installing the tire onto the wheel, observe the following
points.
ICAUTION I
* Do
not
reuse the valve
which
has been once remo-
ved.
* Never use oil, grease or gasoline on the tire bead in
place
of
tire
lubricant.
When installing the tire, the arrow ® on the side wall should
point to the direction of wheel rotation.
Align the chalk mark put on the tire at the time of removal with
the valve position.
For installation procedure of tire onto the wheel, follow the
instructions given by the tire changer manufacturer.
Bounce the tire several times while rotating. This makes the
tire bead expand outward to contact the wheel, thereby facili-
tating air inflation.
Inflate the tire.

not
inflate the tire to more than 400 kPa (4.0
kgf/cm

the

air
inflator, pay special
care
for
the set pressure adjustment.
