• With the mounting hook (H) inserted between the bead and the rim, lift
the tire bead up by raising the lever (H). Note: if it is diffi cult to attach the
end of the hook to the tire bead, rotate the spindle fl ange until the end of
the hook attaches the tire bead correctly.
• To facilitate moving the tire with stiff sidewall, it is suggested to press the
tire in the opposite position of the tool with help of the bead press arm as
shown in the fi gure 8 and press the bottom side of the tire with help of the
lower bead breaker disc as shown in the fi gure 9.
• Rotate the spindle fl ange 360º in a clockwise direction until the upper bead
is completely separated from the rim (ref. fi g. 10). Note: to remove the
tire with stiff sidewall, it is advisable to rotate the spindle fl ange in the slow
mode (if the double speed mode is available with the machine).
• Insert the mounting hook (I) between the lower bead and the rim by
operating the lever (H).
• Position the lower bead breaker disc in the bottom of the tire (ref. fi g.11)
and lift the lower bead upwards until it is raised about 1/3” beyond the
upper edged of the rim (ref. fi g. 11).
• Raise the mounting tool so that the lower bead is in the demounting
position.
