Side view. Not to scale.
Take the Bead Lifting Tool, position one end on the outside of the Demount Lip of the
Mount/Demount Head, then slide it down between the Demount Lip and the top Tire Bead until it
is just past (and a little under) the Bead.
Carefully push the Bead Lifting Tool in towards the other side of the Wheel in an arc.
This pulls the top Bead over the Demount Lip, which is what you want.
⚠
CAUTION
Hold on to the Bead Lifting Tool
. Depending on the Tire, it may take a
good deal of force to move the Bead up and over the Demount Lip. If you were
to release the Bead Lifting Tool at this point, it could easily injure the Operator
or damage the Wheel, Tire, or the Tire Changer.
Check to make sure the Bead Lifting Tool is lifting the Tire Bead up and over the Demount Lip of
the Mount/Demount Head. If the Tire Bead is not coming up and over the Demount Lip, pull the
Bead Lifting Tool out and start again.
When the Bead Lifting Tool has moved all the way over and is lying flat, check the top Bead to
make sure it is above the Demount Lip.
The top Bead
must be above the top of the Demount Lip to proceed.
Continue holding the Bead Lifting Tool .
Press down the Turntable Foot Pedal so that the Turntable begins turning clockwise.
Note : If you have difficulty getting the Turntable to move clockwise, release the Turntable Foot
Pedal, keep hold of the Bead Lifting Tool, and then press up on the Turntable Foot Pedal
