together, place the wheel on the turntable and
depress pedal H to clamp.
In case of outward clamping (Fig. 08), enlarge the
jaws outward, place the wheel on the turntable
and depress pedal H to clamp.
Pull back the swing arm and turn the handle of the
screw (12) to put the hexagonal column in working
position (Fig.09), and keep a distance of 1~2mm
from the mount/demount head (Fig.10), and then
lock the hexagonal column with locking handle.
Note:
The angle of the mount/demount head has been
adjusted by manufacturer according to standard rim
(15"). Re-adjustment may be necessary to prevent
scratching the tyre when the rim is extremely large or
small.
Lift the tyre bead onto the mount/ demount head with
tyre lever (Fig. 11). To make it easy, press the tyre
opposite to the mount/demount head. After settling it
down in the rim groove, depress Pedal J（Fig.12）
lightly to turn the turntable clockwise until the rim is
separated. To avoid damage to the tube when there
is one, it is advisable to place the air inflating valve
about 10cm (Fig.13) away from the mount/ demount
head.
Caution:
In case the demounting is hindered, stop the machine
immediately. Lift up the pedal J (Fig.12) to turn the
turntable counter-clockwise to clear away the
hindrance.
