P/N 5900260 — Rev. A1 — Dec. 2020
Break the Beads
The Beads must be broken – on both sides of a Tire – before the Tire can be demounted.
⚠
WARNING
Do not Break the Bead of a Tire until
you
have made sure the Tire is fully deflated.
A Tire with air still in it could explode, injuring the Operator or bystanders.
The Bead is broken when the Tire Beads come out from between the Rim Lip and the Bead Retainer
(the Bead Seat) all the way around the Tire, on
both
sides of the Tire.
To break a Tire’s Beads
:
Make sure you are wearing OSHA-approved (publication 3151) Personal Protective Equipment:
leather gloves, steel-toed work boots, back belts, hearing protection, and ANSI-approved eye
protection (safety glasses, face shield, or goggles).
Check the Tire again to make sure it is
fully
deflated.
Check both sides of the Tire to make sure all Wheel weights (from previous balancing) have been
removed. If they have not, remove them.
⚠
CAUTION
Breaking the Beads of a Tire with Wheel weights could damage the Tire Changer
and/or the Wheel.
Identify the Narrow side of the Tire whose Beads you are breaking. Break this side first.
Move the Tire into position between the Pad and the Bead Breaker Blade, with the Narrow side of
the Tire on the Blade side.
If you are Breaking the Beads of a Tire with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), put the
sensor at 12 o’clock high or 6 o’clock low (relative to the ground), to reduce the chances of
damaging it with the breaker blade.
Move the Blade so that it is on the side of the Tire, very close to,
but not touching
, the Rim.
