TIRES
Use only water as a
lubricant when
removing or mount-
ing tires. Soap or
some mounting
lubricants may
leave a slipperly
residue which can
cause the tire to
shift on the rim and
lose tire pressure
during riding.
REMOVAL (U.S.A. only)
NOTE.
• This service requires the ATV Bead Buster
(KLS379024).
• Remove and install the tire from the rim side
opposite the valve stem.
Remove the core from the valve stem.
Use a pneumatic tire changer or equivalent to
remove the tire from the rim. If a tire changer is not
available, rim protectors and tire irons may be used.
Adjust the bottom rim supports to the proper rim
size.
Align the flat side of the support with the corre-
sponding rim size indicator.
Lube the bead area of the tire with water, pressing
down on the tire sidewall/bead area in several
places to allow the water to run into and around the
bead.
