5.2 Mounting tubeless tyres
• Lubricate the entire rim surface. Lubricate both beads,
inside and outside, (Fig. 5.2-1).
OBSERVE THE ROTATION DIRECTION OF
THE TIRE, IF REQUIRED. SOME TIRES HAVE
A COLOR DOT THAT MUST BE KEPT ON THE
OUTSIDE OF THE WHEEL.
LIBERAL LUBRICATION OF THE TIRE AND RIM
IS NECESSARY TO MOUNT TIRE CENTERING
CORRECTLY AND GET A PROPER ON THE
RIM. BE SURE YOU ARE USING APPROVED
LUBRICANT ONLY.
• Lock the rim on the turntable and rotate it to have the
valve in 5 o’clock position. Place the tire to be mounted
on the rim. Swing the mounting arm forward so that the
mount/demount tool is in the working position. Engage
the lower bead OVER the mounting wing and UNDER
the mounting ! nger of the mounting tool. Turn the wheel
clockwise and push the tire down into the drop center,
opposite to the mount/demount head (Fig. 5.2-2).
• Mount the upper bead following the directions in
section B (Fig. 5.2-3). With low pro! le tyres the bead
depressor tool “MX” (optional #EAA0247G70A) can
help to facilitate mounting of the top bead.
NOTE: FOR NARROW SIDEWALLS, RUN FLATS, OR
EXPECIALLY STIFF TIRES IT IS RECOMMENDED TO
USE THE MH 310 PRO ACCESSORY (Fig. 5.2-4).
A. Mount the first bead. After having positioned the
mounting/demounting tool, position the roller (ref. 1) and
the tool (ref. 2) as shown in Fig. 5.2-4.
B. Lower the bead pusher so that the roller and the bead
pusher tool on the tire help keeping the bead into the drop
center (Fig. 5.2-4).
Before distancing the mounting/demounting tool from the
tyre changer machine, set the roller and the tool pusher
in the rest position.
