Check metal tool positioning. Mount/demount
metal tool should be positioned with 1/8 to 3/16 inch
clearance between the top of the rim edge and the

between the rim edge and the tool roller (figure 13).
This clearance will be maintained as long as the lock-
ing handle and adjustment knob are not changed. The

into place again without needing to reposition the tool,
when changing a like set of wheels.
