COATS Extended Mobility (EMT) RunFlat Tires - Manual (Page 39)

Mounting–Strap-Type Sensor L–3
10 Before beginning to mount the upper bead, rotate
the table top until the valve stem is once again in the
12 o’clock position and the sensor is in the 6 o’clock position.
Lubricate the upper bead liberally. Apply lubricant to both the
edge of the tire bead and the underside of the bead.
Adequate lubrication is vital to the upper bead mounting
process.
11 Position the upper bead over the duckhead. Put the tip
of the lift tool under the wheel rim flange and push the
bar down to hold the upper bead below the wheel and duck-
head. Use a shop towel on the lift tool to avoid damaging the
wheel.
12 Rotate the wheel a short distance -only 3 to 4 inches-
and stop. Continue to hold the bead in the drop center
with the lift bar, or place a drop center tool on the wheel.
Remember that stiff sidewall tires are difficult to mount. The
top bead is always more difficult to work with because the
tire cannot be angled across the drop center and rim flange
as easily as the lower bead.
13 Continue rotating the wheel, moving only a few inch-
es and then stopping.
Continue to hold the bead in the drop center with the lift bar
or the drop center tool. When the bar or the drop center tool
reach the 10 o’clock position, remove them. Continuing with
either tool in place may cause them to be forcefully ejected
from the wheel.
14 Continue rotating the wheel until the upper bead is
fully mounted.
This completes Section L.
