WARNING: MOUNTING OF TIRES ON WHEELS CAN BE DANGEROUS IF DONE IMPROPERLY. ONLY TRAINED PERSONNEL, USING THE PROPER TOOLS, SAFETY EQUIPMENT, AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, SHOULD ATTEMPT TO MOUNT TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLIES. - Use only a clip-on style air chuck with a long extension hose, remote filler, and inflation gauge.
- Using a tire mounting lubricant, lube the tire and rim bead seat. Determine the tire's maximum recommended tire inflation pressure.
- The tire and wheel must be located away from all personnel. Something solid, such as a block wall or a tire-mounting cage (see photo), must be between the tire/wheel assembly and the installer. THE TIRE/WHEEL ASSEMBLY MUST BE OUT OF "LINE OF SIGHT" DURING THE INFLATION PROCESS.
- Inflate the tire until you hear the beads seats snap, or until you reach the tire manufacturer's maximum recommended tire pressure. NEVER EXCEED THE TIRE MANUFACTURER'S MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE.
- If the tire beads do not seat, stop! Release all air from the tire/wheel assembly, and call your tire manufacturer or ITP for advice (909-390-1905).
- Once the tire bead is seated, disconnect the chuck, re-install the valve core, and inflate to proper operating pressure.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT TIRES BE INSTALLED IN A SAFETY CAGE SIMILAR TO THE ONE SHOWN IN THE ACCOMPANYING PHOTO. FAILURE TO FOLLOW RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY
