OPERATION
1. Breaking the bead - Fig.1
•
Remove all wheel weights and tyre
valve core to release tyre pressure, lay
the wheel flat on the base leg (1) in front
of the arc shovel (7).
•
Adjust arc shovel (7) (if required) and
position the arc shovel between tyre wall
and wheel rim, using the crowbar (10) inserted into the casing pipe (4) and lever
down to break the bead. Repeat around the wheel until bead is free from wheel
rim, then turn the wheel over and repeat the process until the tyre is free from
both beads.
2. Tyre removal –Fig. 2
•
Lubricate both tyre beads with
appropriate tyre soap.
•
Mount the wheel onto the support
base (valve side up), ensure the locating
pin is through one of the wheel holes
and lock down using the slotted press
plate (8) and threaded rod (9).
•
Place the flat end of crowbar (10) between the tyre bead and the wheel
rim, while applying pressure to the tyre side wall, lever against the cap and rotate
the tyre lever in a clockwise direction. Repeat action on second bead.
3. Fitting –Fig. 3
•
Lubricate both tyre beads.
•
Using the crowbar foot end,
locate between the lower bead and
wheel rim, lever against the cap
and rotate clockwise around the cap.
•
Repeat action on second bead,
then replace valve core, inflate tyre
to ensure tyre locates correctly onto rim (DO NOT exceed maximum allowance
tyre pressure) the set tyre pressure to require valve.
•
We would recommend that wheel is correctly balanced before use.
