Use the inboard/outboard and up/down controls to bring the bead roller against the sidewall of the tire.
The wheel edge should be no more than 3/16” (5 mm) from the top of the bead roller.
Press the bead roller lightly against tire.

While rotating the wheel in either direction, generously lubricate the tire bead area and slowly push the tire bead off of
the bead seat.
