E. Position the mount/demount head in contact with the
rim edge and lock it into place: the tool automatically moves
away from the rim edge vertically. Turn the adjustment
knob until the mount/demount head clears from the rim
flange about 2 mm (1/16"): this is necessary to avoid rim
damage (Fig.4.3).
NOTE:
THE PLASTIC INSERT INSIDE THE MOUNT/
DEMOUNT TOOL MUST BE
PERIODICALLY REPLACED. EVERY
MACHINE IS EQUIPPED WITH SEVERAL
PLASTIC INSERTS (INSIDE STANDARD
EQUIPMENT BOX).IF DESIRED, THE
PLASTIC INSERT MAY BE REPLACED BY
A STEEL ROLLER ALSO INCLUDED IN THE
STANDARD EQUIPMENT BOX. FOLLOW
THE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH
THE REPLACEMENT PARTS.
NOTE:
ONCE THE MOUNT/DEMOUNT HEAD IS
POSITIONED PROPERLY, MATCHING
WHEELS MAY BE CHANGED WITHOUT
HAVING TO RESET THE HEAD.
F. Insert the bead-lifting tool under the bead and over the
support of the mount/demount tool. Lift the bead onto the
mounting finger. To facilitate this operation, press with left
hand on the bead in position diametrically opposite to that
of the tool. If desired, the bead-lifting tool can be removed
after lifting the bead onto the finger (Fig.4.4).
G. Rotate the turntable clockwise and at the same time
push down on the tire sidewall to move the bead into the
drop-center of the rim (Fig.4.5).
H. Repeat the process for removing the lower bead. With
left hand, lift the bead in opposite to the tool to keep it in
the drop center (Fig.4.6). Move the swing arm aside and
complete the operation removing the tire.
