Ensure the wheel is stable and the work area if free and clear of debris.
Secure and fully support any vehicles.
This bead breaker works on all types of rims (optional claws
may be required).
Depending on the type of wheel, make sure you have the right
accessories installed:
Unload the truck and lift it with the jack. Place the wheel in
position and release the tire pressure.
Hold the bead breaker to the rim as indicated in the photo.
Turn on the air-driven hydraulic pump switch. Place the
pump in working position.
With the claw pushing against the inner portion of the rim,
push the shovel and feet against the lateral ring and the
bead of the tire.
Maintaining pressure, push the shovel against the bead of the tire, breaking the bead from the
rim. Stop operation when the hydraulic rod reaches the stroke of 3 ¾". This helps to extend the
life of bead breaker.
Treadle the air-driven hydraulic pump to the oil return and release the pressure. The hydraulic
push rod will be retracted and loosen the claw.
Repeat this process around the rim as many times as needed to completely break the tire bead
from the rim of the wheel.
Maintenance
Checks
a)
Every time the bead breaker is used, check for leaks, damages, missing or loose parts, and worn
parts.
b)
We suggest skilled personnel check the bead breaker yearly and that all defective parts, worn
parts, etc., are replaced with original parts supplied by the manufacturer. (See the parts list.)
Damaged Tools
All damaged, worn, or ill-operating tools must be not be used. We suggest necessary repairs are
carried out by skilled personnel authorized by the manufacturer.
Bead Breaker Scrapping
After many years of use, when your bead breaker must be scrapped, you must remove oil from the
cylinder and from the pump. Oil must be recycled according to regulations.
