CAUTION
Make certain that the teeth slip in between the rim flange and the bead. If not, depress the
RELEASE end of the pump pedal and realign the tool. If the tool is not positioned correctly,
extending the breaker rod may damage the tire bead or sidewall, the rim flange, or the tool.
If the tool is not pushing parallel to the bead seat area, reposition before continuing.
5
Continue pumping until the tongue of the bead breaker pushes the bead free of the rim.
6
Repeat the process as needed around the diameter of the rim. The tool can be used on the
front and back bead areas.
7
Once the bead is free of the rim, depress the RELEASE end of the pump pedal.
