Principles
z
To avoid damage when mounting and demounting
tyre, especially the alloy ones, use the special tyre
lever.
z
For easier demounting and better protection of the
tyre and rim, lubricate the area between the rim and
tyre bead, where the bead breaker shoe goes in,
with industrial lubricant or thick soap solution.
z
Check for damages (distortions, surface damages,
excessive runout, erosion or overall wear) before
demounting.
z
Pay special attention to rotary direction marked on
some flanges or tyres.
z
When inflating the tyre, make sure the pressure
increases in an even way. Check the rim as often
as possible.
z
Fit the tyre on the rim of matched size.
z
Never ignore the mounting and demounting
requirements of the special wheel.
Demounting Tyre
Preparing
z
Deflate the tyre thoroughly.
z
Remove all the foreign substance and weights from
the rim (Fig. 03).

Demounting
Note:
Lubricate the bead with a brush dipped in soap
solution before the shoe touches the bead.
Otherwise the tyre bead will be worn (Fig. 04)
.

z
Place the tyre between the bead breaker shoe and
rubber pad and keep the shoe between the bead
and rim, about 1cm to the bead (Fig. 05). Depress
pedal I (Fig. 06) to separate the tyre from rim.
z
Repeat the above steps on other part of the tyre to
get the tyre separated thoroughly from the rim.
