Tire
Mounting and demounting
Use tire changing machine to mount or demount tires. Follow equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use
hand tools or tire irons alone to change tires as they may damage tire beads or wheel rim.
Rim bead seats should be cleaned with wire brush or coarse steel wool to remove lubricants, old rubber and
light rust. Before mounting or demounting tire, bead area should be well lubricated with approved tire lubricant.
After mounting, inflate to 240 kPa (35 psi) so that beads are completely seated. Then adjust pressure to speci-
fied shown on tire placard.
Install valve core and inflate to proper pressure.
Repair
There are many different materials and techniques on the market to repair tires. As not all of these work on all
types of tires, tire manufacturers have published detailed instructions on how and when to repair tires. These
instructions can be obtained from the tire manufacturer.WARNING:
Do not stand over tire when inflating. Bead may break when bead snaps over rim’s safety hump and
cause serious personal injury.
Do not exceed 240 kPa (35 psi) pressure when inflating. If 240 kPa (35 psi) pressure will not seat
beads, deflate, re-lubricate and reinflate. Over inflation may cause bead to break and cause serious
personal injury.

Valve seat repair:
A valve seat not producing a uniform contact with its valve or
showing width of seating contact that is out of specified
range must be repaired by regrinding or by cutting and
regrinding and finished by lapping.
1) EXHAUST VALVE SEAT: Use valve seat cutters (1) to make
two cuts as illustrated in figure. Two cutters must be used:
the first for making 15° angle, and the second for making 45°
angle. The second cut must be made to produce desired
seat width.
Seat width for exhaust valve seat
“a” : 1.1 – 1.3 mm (0.0433 – 0.0512 in.)
2) INTAKE VALVE SEAT: Use valve seat cutters to make three
cuts as illustrated in figure. Three cutters must be used: the
1st for making 15° angle, the 2nd for making 60° angle, and
3rd for making 45° angle. The 3rd cut (45°) must be made to
produce desired seat width.
Seat width for intake valve seat
“b” : 1.1 – 1.3 mm (0.0433 – 0.0512 in.)
3) VALVE LAPPING: Lap valve on seat in two steps, first with
coarse size lapping compound applied to face and the sec-
ond with fine-size compound, each time using valve lapper
according to usual lapping method.
Cylinder Head
Remove all carbon deposits from combustion chambers.
NOTE:
Do not use any sharp-edged tool to scrape off carbon
deposits. Be careful not to scuff or nick metal surfaces
when decarboning. The same applies to valves and valve
seats, too.
