Place tire over wheel and move swing arm into
position making sure the valve stem is at the 9 o'clock
position in front of bead lock. Position tire so that
lower bead is above the rear extension of the mount/
demount tool and below the front knob (figure 20).

Depress table top pedal and rotate wheel to
mount lower bead. Use drop center of wheel by forc-
ing down on tire just ahead of the mounting tool, and
follow as tire rotates. Rotate table top until lower bead
is mounted.

For top bead installation, rotate the table top until
the valve stem is directly across from the Duckhead
mount/demount tool. Lift the upper bead up and
over the rear of the mount/demount tool. With your
left hand press down on the tire between the mount/
demount tool and the valve stem, to hold the tire in the
drop center. Depress table top pedal and rotate tire
until bead is mounted. Be careful to ensure bead stays
in the rim drop center in the area ahead of mount/
demount tool (figure 21).

Important: Always read and follow operating instructions.
If table top rotation stalls, reverse the table top
momentarily until tire bead is again loose on
the wheel. Reposition tire on Duckhead
mount/demount tool, make sure bead is cor-
rectly positioned in drop center of the wheel;
then attempt mounting again.
For low profile or stiff sidewall tires, it may be
advantageous to use the bead lifting tool to
initially hold the upper bead down in the drop
center.
For tube type tires, mount lower bead first,
move swing arm out, install tube, and then
mount upper bead.
