The mount/demount tool should be in contact with
the rim edge. Turn the swing arm adjusting knob to
move the mount/demount tool away from the rim 1/8
to 1/4 inch (figure 11)

Check metal mount/demount tool positioning.
The metal mount/demount tool should be positioned
with 3/16 to 1/8 inch clearance between the top of the
rim edge and the bot-tom of the tool, and 1/8 to 1/4
inch clearance between the rim edge and the mount/
demount tool roller. This clearance will be maintained
as long as the locking handle and adjustment knob
are not changed. The operator may swing the arm out
of the way and back into place again without need-
ing to reposition the tool (when changing a like set of
wheels) (figure 12).

At times during the mounting and demounting
procedure, the bead lifting tool may encoun-
ter resistance and can be thrown. Keep one
hand firmly on the tool to avoid possible tool
disconnect. Use the reversing feature to back
out of jam-ups. A thrown tool can cause injury.
10.
Insert the smooth curved end of the bead lifting
tool over the forward end of the mount/demount tool
and below the top bead of the tire. Lift the bead up
and over the knob on the Duckhead
tool (figure 13). Also, note the valve stem position to
the mount/demount tool. Use your free hand to press
down on the tire opposite the mount/demount tool to
allow the bead to utilize the drop center area of the
rim, this position reduces stresses in the bead and
allows an easier bead lift.

Important: Always read and follow operating instructions.
The tool clearance may change with machine
use and should be inspected often. Failure to
maintain the proper clearance may result in
damage to the wheel rim and/or tire.
Normal table top rotation for demounting is
clockwise. Depress the table top pedal to rotate
this direction. To rotate the table top counter-
clockwise, lift the pedal up with your toe.
Table top rotation can be stopped at any time
by removing your foot from the rotation pedal.
