CAUTION
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.
NOTE
Tires are directional. Refer to tire sidewall for direction of rotation.
