• 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.
