3.6 Mounting Stiff, Low Profile Tires on Rounded Edged Rims Only
Using Rollers (TC33M model only)
TC33 Series Tire Changer Operation Instructions
Push upper roller down against tire to ensure the mounting head is secured by the
upper roller. This will prevent the mounting head from popping up when the tire is fully
mounted.
Push on the bead while rotating wheel clockwise instead of going over the top of the
mounting head.
Lock the rim to the tire by hand, or by using the bead lever or bead depressor "tail."
Slip the bead into the drop center.
Rotate wheel clockwise to mount tire.
CAUTION: This special case procedure does not perform properly on all
tires. Tires of the same size, but of different makes react
differently to this method. Attempt first tire slowly to
determine compatibility of this procedure with application.
Mount lower bead as normal.
Move roller assembly into work position.
Lower the upper roller against the upper bead approximately 1/2 inch away from the
rim edge.
Grasp and support tire at the 6 o'clock position.
Lower the upper roller and push bead down slightly so it is below the balcony of the
drop center.
