Using the Upper Tool Arm Control, push the upper Bead Breaker Tool down into the Tire about an
inch.
8.
Step on the Rotation Foot Pedal and hold it down.
The Turntable begins turning clockwise.
9.
Press and hold the Tool Adjustment Button.
The upper Bead Breaker Tool pushes down into the Tire until it gets below the edge of the rim and
then automatically moves in about an inch or two, depending on the geometry of the Tire.
The Bead Breaker Tool moves in because you pressed the Tool Adjustment Button.
10.
Continue turning the Turntable.
11.
When the Bead has been broken, release the Rotation Foot Pedal and the Tool Adjustment
Button.
The Bead Breaker Tool automatically returns to the starting location, where it was
before
you
pressed and held the Tool Adjustment Button.
12.
Verify that the Bead has been broken all the way around the Rim on the upper side of the Tire.
The Bead is broken when the Tire Bead comes out from between the Rim Lip and the Bead
Retainer (the Bead Seat) all the way around the Tire.
13.
When you have verified that the upper Bead has been broken, you can switch to the lower Bead.
14.
Without changing the location of the Upper Tool Arm, check the Mirror to verify that the Bead
Breaker Tool on the Lower Multifunction Tool is at a spot on the Tire that is about 1/4 inch to 1/8
inch away from the Rim Lip on the lower side of the Tire.
The Upper Tool Arm and the Lower Tool Arm are synchronized
, so if the Upper Bead
Breaker is in the correct location to break the Bead on the upper side of the Tire (you can verify this
using the Laser), then the Lower Bead Breaker Tool is in the correct location to break the Bead on
the lower side of the Tire.
15.
After verifying the location of the lower Bead Breaker Tool, use the Lower Tool Arm Control to push
the lower Bead Breaker Tool up into the Tire about an inch.
16.
Press down the Rotation Foot Pedal and hold it down; the Turntable starts rotating.
17.
Press and hold the Tool Adjustment Button.
The lower Bead Breaker Tool pushes into the Tire until it gets below the edge of the rim and then
automatically moves in about an inch or two, depending on the geometry of the Tire.
18.
When the lower Bead has been broken, release the Rotation Foot Pedal and the Tool Adjustment
Button.
19.
Verify that the Bead has been broken all the way around the Rim on the lower side of the Tire.
The Tire’s Bead is now broken. The next step is to take the Tire off the Wheel, called demounting.
