Special Procedure for Run Flat Wheels / Low Profile

With the second roller arm, the Bead Press System can correctly work on Run Flat wheels.

The majority of Run Flat wheels are equipped with an internal sensor so that the

pressure can be measured. Before proceeding with any operation on the wheel,

check the vehicle instruction manual for the type of sensor used and its position on

the rim.

Before proceeding with any operation on the wheel, make sure that all contact

points between the tire changer and rim (mounting/demount head, bead lifting lever,

tire lifting disc, wheel clamps) are equipped with their relative plastic guards.

If the wheel does not have an internal sensor, the bead can be loosened in the "conventional"

way as described in Section 2.1, Bead Breaking, page 22.

If it does have an internal sensor, the procedure will depend on the type and position of the

actual sensor itself, i.e. "conventional" bead breaking on both beads or on the inner bead

alone. In all cases, proceed with the utmost care. Never press the shovel near the pressure

sensor.

The second roller attachment must only be mounted on the Bead Press System at the time

it is actually used and taken off the Bead Press System at the end of the operation. This

prevents it from hampering the other operating phases or from being a potential source of

danger through crushing.

1. Insert the second roller attachment into its housing on the arm of the Bead Press System.

2. Lock in place with the pin.
