• Install the tube.
• When installing the tire onto the wheel, observe the following
points.
• When installing the tire, the arrow

point to the direction of wheel rotation.
• In case of a new tire, align the light point mark
2 on the tire
side wall to the valve hole to balance the tire and wheel.

the valve position.
• For installation procedure of tire onto the wheel, follow the
instructions given by the tire changer manufacturer.
• Be careful not to catch the tire.
• Bounce the tire several times while rotating. This makes the
tire bead expand outward to contact the wheel, thereby facili-

place of tire lubricant.
* Do not inflate the tire to more than 400 kPa (4.0 kgf/
cm

). If inflated beyond this limit, the tire can burst
and possibly cause injury. Do not stand directly over
the tire while inflating.
* In the case of preset pressure air inflator, pay special
care for the set pressure adjustment.
