MOUNTING TUBE-TYPE TIRE Reassembly and inflation of mismatched parts can result in serious injury or death. Just because parts fit together does not mean that they belong together. Check for proper matching of all rim parts before putting any parts together. Inspect the tire and the rim for any damage that would require them to be placed out of service. Mismatching tire and rim components is dangerous. A mismatched tire and rim assembly may explode and can result in serious injury or death. This warning applies to any combination of mismatched components and rim combinations. Never assemble a tire and rim unless you have positively identified and correctly matched the parts. 1 Insert the proper size MICHELIN tube into the tire and partially inflate (3 psi) to round out the tube ® 2 (with larger sizes it may be necessary to use bead spreaders – see below for mounting instructions). Insert the valve through the flap valve hole. (Make sure the reinforced patch that is directly over the flap valve hole is facing outwards.) Then insert the remainder of the flap into the tire. NOT TO EXCEED 3 PSI! 3 Check the flap wings to ensure against folding. This is easily accomplished by placing your hand into one tire side, then the other, and then running your hand along the entire flap wing. 98 Section Seven: Diagonal (Bias or Cross) Ply and Tube-Type 4 Inflate the tube until the flap is secured against the tire wall and the beads start to spread apart, making sure not to exceed 3 psi.
