READ ENTIRE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE CHANG-
ING ANY TIRES WITH THIS UNIT. IMPROPER USE MAY LEAD TO TIRE DAMAGE OR
COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF THE BEAD BREAKER OR TIRE CHANGING MACHINE.
Here are some safety rules to follow before using THE ATV BEAD BREAKER:
1.) Always wear approved safety eye protection when servicing tires and wheels and
whenever using hand tools.
2.) Follow all tire and rim manufacturers’ instructions when changing and inflating tires.
Ensure that tire and rim sizes match. Mismatched components can cause serious injury
during inflation.
3.) Never use this tool for anything except breaking a tire bead away from the rim. Don’t
use a tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.
4.) Always check for damaged or broken parts. Check for other conditions that may affect
its operation. Do not use damaged parts.
5.) Completely deflate tire before attempting to break the bead. This requires removing the
valve core and probing the valve with a wire to remove any obstructions which may
prevent air from escaping.
6.) Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
7.) Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
8.) Always use tire bead lubrication when mounting or demounting any tire.
W A R N I N G : If you do not know how to use tire-changing tools -- STOP! Tire changing
should only be done by trained persons. Improper tire changing can result in injury or death.
