WARNING
Do not lubricate the tire bead with antifreeze or petro-
leum-based liquid. Vapors from these liquids can
cause an explosion during inflation or use.
1. Clean interior and exte-
rior bead area of the tire.
Lubricate tire beads and
the inside of the tire, up to
the tire shoulders. Apply
lubricant to entire under-
side of the TBS.
NOTE: If the wheel rim
width is less than six
inches, the TBS will contain
one valve hole to accom-
modate the needle valve. If the wheel rim width is greater
than six inches, the TBS will have two holes for the needle
valve.
One hole is centrally located and the other is offset, to
ensure the correct positioning of the valve in the valve slot.
The valve hole that is not used should be sealed with a
small plastic plug.
2. Apply lubricant to the nee-
dle valve and the valve hole
that will be used (see NOTE
in Step 1), by inserting and
removing the lubricated valve
several times. If a three- or
four-piece wheel is being
used, remove the valve. If a
two-piece wheel is being
used, leave valve in valve
hole.
If the TBS has two valve holes, lubricate the plastic plug
and insert into valve hole that will not be used.
3. Place the TBS inside the
tire, making sure that the
wings of the TBS are not fol-
ded over. Make a mark on the
tire to note the position of the
valve hole in the TBS.
4. Apply lubricant to the rim. If
a four-piece wheel is being
used, lubricate the advance
