Demounting
Position the tire lever between the mounting head and the tire bead, and lift the bead above
the forward portion of the mounting head itself. At the same time, press down with a hand on
the tire opposite side to the mounting head, in order to position the bead in the central groove
of the rim.
Make the turntable rotate clockwise by pressing the relevant pedal lightly and repeatedly, then
keep the pedal continuously pressed.
If the wheel has an inner tube, remove if after twisting the horizontal arm + mounting bar in non
-working position.
Repeat the above described procedures to take out the second bead, Then move the horizon-
tal arm + mounting bar in non-working position and take the tire off the rim.
CAUTION :
Always check that the tire/rim combination is correct in terms of compatibility
(tubeless tire on tubeless rim; tube type tire on tube type rim) and geometrical size
(keying diameter, cross-section width, Off-set and shoulder profile) before mounting.
Also check that rims are not deformed, that their fixing holes have not become oval,
that they are not scaled or rusty and that they do not have sharp burrs on the valve
holes.
Be sure that the tire is in good condition with no signs of damage.
Tire preparation fig.16 :
Grease both the tire beads (inside and outside).
Place the tire on the rim.
Head positioning :
- set the mounting bar in work position.
The tool is already in the correct position for mounting the tire.
Lower bead mounting :
Place the bottom bead of the tire underneath the tool and at the same time apply a little pressure to
the tire by hand while starting to rotate the wheel (pedal 1 ) for easier bead insertion.
Rotate until tire mounting is complete.
Upper bead mounting fig.17 :
Place the upper tire bead.
Take care that the tire does not slip underneath the tool.
Upper bead mounting :
Rotate the wheel using pedal 1 to start mounting the upper bead. Press manually the tire bead to
keep it inserted in the channel until the bead assembly is successfully completed.
Return the tool into its rest position.
For oversized (more than 19") or particularly tough wheels, it is recommended the use of the
pneumatic bead presser. In this case the following procedure must be applied:
Rotate the column in order to make the working area free.
Free the wheel from the clamps and remove it from the tire changer.
