8) Move the tool carrier arm to its non-working position. Lower the spindle until
the tire is pressed down against the platform. As the platform is moved
slightly towards the outside, the tire will open a little and thus create enough
space to remove the inner tube.
9) Remove the inner tube and lift wheel back up.
10)Move the tool carrier arm to the inside plane of the tire, turn the hook tool
180º and lower the arm to its work position. Insert it between rim and bead
and move it until the bead is by the form edge of the rim ( best to do this with
the wheel turning).
11)Move the rim about 4-5 cm form the tool making sure the hook does not
detach from the rim.
12) Move the hook tool so that its red reference dot is about 3 cm inside the
rim.
13) Insert lever BL between rim and bead at the right of the tool (see Fig. Q).
14) Press down on the lever and lower the wheel to bring the edge of the rim
about 5 cm from the hooked tool. Turn the wheel anticlockwise pressing
down on lever BL until the tire comes completely off the rim.
