Before demounting or mounting operations it is ext-
remely important to collect all the rim and tire data.
In this way it will be possible to know in advance the
mounting, the pressure and the required accesso-
ries!

Remove all the balancing weights from the rim.

If the semi drop centre of the rim is placed in the
inside part it is necessary to insert a cover to the
locking jaws (see chap. 3.3) on the flanged plate,
because in this case the rim leans on its side during
rotation.
