TIRE INSTALLATION
• Apply tire lubricant to the tire bead.
• When installing the tire onto the wheel, observe the following
points.

• When installing the tire, the arrow A on the side wall should
point to the direction of wheel rotation.
• Align the chalk mark put on the tire at the time of removal with
the valve position.
• For installation procedure of tire onto the wheel, follow the
instructions given by the tire changer manufacturer.
• Bounce the tire several times while rotating. This makes the
tire bead expand outward to contact the wheel, thereby facili-
tating air inflation.
• Inflate the tire.

* Do not reuse the valve which has been once removed.
* Never use oil, grease or gasoline on the tire bead in
place of tire lubricant.
* Do not inflate the tire to more than 400 kPa (4.0
kgf/cm², 57 psi). 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.
