Operation
WARNING:
Tires are usually pressurized. DO NOT break the bead on any tire
unless you have ensured that all pressure has been released from the tire. Do this
by relieving or removing the valve in the stem.
CAUTION:
Tires sometimes contain fluids such as leak sealers. Use caution
when breaking the bead to prevent any material in the tire from getting in your
face, on equipment or otherwise injuring any person or animal or causing property
damage.
CAUTION:
Do not force this tool if it is not compatible to the size of the tire being
