| 1. | Depress pedals to rotate drums, and wind specified numbers of plies around drums to form tire bodies. |
| 2. | Start rollers that bond tread and plies as drums revolve. |
| 3. | Activate bead setters that press prefabricated beads onto plies. |
| 4. | Inspect worn tires for faults, cracks, cuts and nail holes, and to determine if tires are suitable for retreading. |
| 5. | Cut plies at splice points, and press ends together to form continuous bands. |
| 6. | Align treads with guides, start drums to wind treads onto plies, and slice ends. |
| 7. | Position rollers that turn ply edges under and over beads, or use steel rods to turn ply edges. |
| 8. | Position ply stitcher rollers and drums according to width of stock, using hand tools and gauges. |
| 9. | Build semi-raw rubber treads onto buffed tire casings in order to prepare tires for vulcanization in recapping or retreading processes. |
| 10. | Wind chafers and breakers onto plies. |
| 11. | Pull plies from supply racks, and align plies with edges of drums. |
| 12. | Roll camelbacks onto casings by hand, and cut camelbacks, using knives. |
| 13. | Clean and paint completed tires. |
| 14. | Fit inner tubes and final layers of rubber onto tires. |
| 15. | Rub cement sticks on drum edges to provide adhesive surfaces for plies. |
| 16. | Fill cuts and holes in tires, using hot rubber. |
| 17. | Brush or spray solvents onto plies to ensure adhesion, and repeat process as specified, alternating direction of each ply to strengthen tires. |
| 18. | Roll hand rollers over rebuilt casings, exerting pressure to ensure adhesion between camelbacks and casings. |
| 19. | Measure tires to determine mold size requirements. |
| 20. | Depress pedals to collapse drums after processing is complete. |
| 21. | Trim excess rubber and imperfections during retreading processes. |
| 22. | Place tires into molds for new tread. |
