Removing The Tire
Never keep your hands on the wheel: the arm recovery to
“working position” could risk the operator’s hand crushing
between rim and mounting head.
Demounting and mounting are always done with the
clockwise rotation. Counter clockwise rotation is used only
to correct operator’s errors.
To avoid damaging the tire valve, make sure to arrange the
valve in the position indicated following the instructions
when mounting and demounting the tire.
• Make sure to rotate the valve at 1 o’clock (ref.
fi g.7) so that the valve cannot be damaged
during the demounting procedures.
• Set the locking button (K) in Pos. 2, the arms
are unlocked and the mounting head goes down
onto the rim or reaches the minimum working
height.
• Set the button (K) in Pos. 1, the mounting bar
and the horizontal arm are locked. The mounting
head positions itself automatically at about 1/8”
from the rim.
• Pressing the lever
(H) to insert the
mounting hook (I)
between the upper
bead and the rim.
Position it on the
top part without
forcing the side of
the tire excessively.
