1. Inspect the wheel for damage. Do not use a bent, cracked, damaged or severely
corroded wheel. (See Section 2, page 5).
2. Inspect ring(s) for corrosion, bending or other damage and discard if any is apparent.
3. Thoroughly clean the wheel and rings. Clean the wheel face with a mild detergent.
Clean the tire bead seat areas and gutter flange with a wire brush.
4. Do not gouge or nick the wheel. Place wheels on a wooden floor or rubber mat.
Always use a rubber, leather-faced or plastic mallet.
5. Inspect and clean the tire, tube, and flap before mounting — replace if damaged,
badly worn or defective.
6. Insert lubricated tube and flap in tire.
7. Lubricate the tire beads and rim, then mount tire, tube and flap assembly onto rim.
Do not use any lubricant which contains water or a solvent which can injure rubber.
8. Select the proper rim components and assemble to rim (see 6-3, page 41). Discard
bent, damaged or corroded side and lock rings. Do not use any side or lock ring which
is not clearly identifiable.
WARNING Use of a Firestone 5° side and lock ring assembly with a wheel
machined for Firestone DT or Goodyear LW split side ring and vice versa
can lead to explosive separation of wheel and tire.
An explosive separation of miss-matched wheel components can lead
to injury or death.
Alcoa Aluminum Disc Wheels are available to accept (1) Firestone 5° side
and lock rings or (2) Goodyear LW and Firestone DT split side rings. Select
the proper side and lock rings by referring to the Multipiece Rim/Wheel
Matching Chart on page 39 of this manual.
Always use the proper side and lock ring assembly or split side rings required for each particular wheel.
9. Do not overinflate. Use the tire manufacturer's recommended pressure, but under
no circumstances exceed cold tire pressures listed in Section 1 Specifications
of this manual (see page 2).
10. When inflating a tire in an inflation cage or while mounted on a vehicle, always use
a clip-on air chuck and a remote valve with pressure gauge. During inflation or handling
an inflated wheel and tire assembly, stay out of the path of potential exploding parts
or air blasts.
