To mount the tire:
1. Place the rim on a piece of carpet, or a mounting platform see attached photo
2. Cover the rim with a black plastic garbage bag keeping the bag double thickness
3. Place the tire on the rim and work the inner bead over the rim, this can be done by hand without tools for tires that are not rock hard
4. After the inner bead is on the rim remove the plastic garbage bag
5. Place the inner tube in the tire
6. Place the plastic bag between the rim and the outer bead
7. Hand work the outer bead onto the rim, if needed you can stand on the tire and work it on to the rim.
I hope this come across clearly

Also.
Don't cut the tube by getting it between the rim and the tire iron.
Don't pinch the tube between the tire and the rim.
Inflate the tube and then let the air out to get it properly positioned, then refill it.
