Pressing this side of the tire into the rim
well, and working from the valve, press the first
bead over the rim by hand pressure and lever the
last few inches into position as in Fig. H22. Take
special care that the inner tube is not nipped
during this operation.

Press the second bead into the rim well whilst
keeping the security bolt pressed back into the
tire as in Fig. H25 starting opposite the valve
then use the heel to press the bead as far round as
possible into position.

As shown in Fig. H25, taking care to avoid
"nipping", lever the last portion of the bead over
the rim, finishing at the valve.

Push the valve inwards to the rim to ensure that
the tube near the valve is not trapped between the
bead and rim then pull the valve back and inflate
to pressure.

To ensure that the tire is true on the rim,
check the tire moulded fitting line in relation to
the rim. The position can be corrected by
"bouncing" the side of the tire on the ground at
any point where the fitting line is too near the
rim.

|
Bounce the tire several times in the centre of
the bead where the security bolt is fitted then
tighten the securing nut. Recheck that the fitting
line is still equidistant to the rim.

When the tire is fitted correctly, fit the
knurled valve securing nut and replace the valve
dust cap.
