Q. To facilitate the mounting process, you can use the assist
arm to mount the tire quickly.
First, you adjust the nut ( D) to fit the tire diameter. 3 adjust-
ments are applied to 14” - 26” wheel. From left side to right,
position 1 is for wheel 22” - 26”, position 2 is for wheel 18” -
22” and position 3 is for wheel 14” - 18”
Second, adjust the handle ( C
） against the tire bead.
Third, use control valve to adjust the height. Make sure the A
and B is below the mounting head.
4. Place tire over wheel and move swing arm into position
making sure the valve stem is at the 9 o’clock position in
front of bead lock. Position tire so that lower bead is above
the rear extension of the mount/demount tool and below the
front knob (figure 17).

5. Depress table top pedal and rotate wheel to mount lower
bead. Use drop center of wheel by forcing down on tire just
ahead of the mounting tool, and follow as tire rotates. Rotate
table top until lower bead is mounted.
6. For top bead installation, rotate the table top until the valve
stem is directly across from the mount head. Lift the upper
bead up and over the rear of the mount head. With your left
hand press down on the tire between the mount head and the
valve stem to hold the tire in the drop center. Depress table top
pedal and rotate tire until bead is mounted. Be careful to en-
sure bead stays in the rim drop center in the area ahead of
Mounting head (figure 18).

N. If table top rotation stalls, reverse the table top mo-
mentarily until tire bead is again loose on the wheel. Reposi-
tion tire on Mounting head, make sure bead is correctly posi-
tioned in drop center of the wheel; then attempt mounting
again.
P. For low profile or stiff sidewall tires, it may be ad-
vantageous to use the bead lifting tool to initially hold the
upper bead down in the drop center.
R. For tube type tires, mount lower bead first, move
swing arm out, install tube, and then mount upper bead.
