t  Observe the safety instructions → Chapter.
–  Coat wheel rim flanges, tyre beads and inside of upper tyre bead generously with tyre assembly paste.
   
–  Turn wheel rim on tyre fitting unit so that tyre valve/tyre pressure sensor-1- is directly opposite assembly head -2-.
–  Run tyre fitting machine clockwise.
  N44-10249
–  Stop the fitting of lower bead before reaching tyre valve/tyre pressure sensor-arrow- to prevent damage to tyre pressure sensor.
The tyre bead will now slide over the wheel rim flange. The wheel rim may be turned only until the assembly head is just before the tyre valve/tyre pressure sensor-arrow-.

–  Turn wheel rim on tyre fitting unit so that tyre valve/tyre pressure sensor-1- is directly opposite assembly head -2-.
–  Fit depressor -3- on wheel rim.
–  Check to ensure that tyre bead is seated correctly on assembly head and run tyre fitting machine clockwise.

–  Stop the fitting of upper bead before reaching tyre valve/tyre pressure sensor-arrow- to prevent damage to tyre pressure sensor.
The tyre bead will now slide over the wheel rim flange. The wheel rim may be turned only until the assembly head is just before the tyre valve/tyre pressure sensor-arrow-.
–  Remove depressor from wheel rim.
–  Inflate tyre to a pressure of max. 3.3 bar (bead seating pressure)
  Caution
Never increase the inflation pressure when the tyre bead does not lie completely against the wheel rim flange.
This would lead to damage to the tyre and/or the wheel rim.
–  When the tyre bead does not lie completely against the wheel rim flange: deflate the tyre, press tyre bead off wheel rim flange and generously coat again with tyre assembly paste.
–  Inflate tyre to a pressure of max. 3.3 bar (bead seating pressure)
–  If the tyre beads seat perfectly against the shoulder of the wheel rim, increase pressure to 4 bar to »seat« the tyre.
–  Fit a new nickel-plated valve core and inflate tyre to prescribed inflation pressure.
–  Then balance wheel.
–  Install wheel and tighten bolts to prescribed torque → Chapter.
