WARN I N G
When dislodging tire beads, lockrings, or side flanges, be absolutely certain no air
pressure remains in tire. Failure to follow this warning may result in injury or death to
personnel.
C AU T I O N
Use tire and rim lubricant as necessary to avoid damaging tire beads or bead seats during
demounting and mounting. Never use petroleum-based products such as oil or grease
when demounting/mounting tires from rims. Petroleum-based products have a severe
degrading effect on tire rubber. Use only approved tire and rim lubricant. Failure to follow
this caution may result in damage to equipment.
2. Loosen outer tire bead from demountable side ring flange (Figure 4, Item 1). Work around rim (Figure 4,
Item 2) until tire bead is completely free of side ring flange.
