Ken Tool 38620-99 ATV Bead Breaker - Manual (Page 5)

After the top handle has been raised
to a vertical position and your left hand
has been placed on the bottom han-
dle, pull the black handle grip toward
you in a clockwise fashion to about
45°. The left hand should remain on
bottom handle to provide stability
N OT pressure. (This tool can be used
in one direction only. You must have
the your left hand on the bottom han-
dle and the atv bead braker on the left
side of you body during operation).
Take note that everything rotates
except the mounting collar. This
motion pushes the bead below the
bead lock on the rim assembly.
Relube in to the open gap between
the bead and rim. Finally rotate the black handle
back to the vertical position. With
the bottom handle still horizontal
reposition the bead breaker at
another point clockwise along the
rim by moving to the left a few
inches from the last point.
Repeat the rotation step, as nec-
essary until bead is broken.
Avoid disengaging the toe from
the underside of the rim during
this rotation.
Once bead is completely broken from
the rim lock, lift both handles together
and disengage the breaker from
under the rim. Next, lift the mounting collar and bead
breaker off the center-post. Repeat
the entire process after the tire has
been lifted off the tire-changing
machine and opposite side is facing
upward. If you are using the Ken-Tool Small
Tire Changing Machine, take the Tire
Snake
and demount the tire.
Repair or replace tire and mount tire
on rim with the ATV Tire Snake.
Once the toe is securely placed
between the rim and bead, lower
the handles to the horizontal posi-
tion. Your LEFT hand should be placed on
the bottom handle.
D O N OT apply
much pressure to the bottom handle.
If too much force is applied to the bot-
tom handle, bead breaking will be
more difficult and damage to the cen-
ter-post may result.
At this point, the toe should still
be between the rim and bead.
and the guide should rest against
the outer flange. With the han-
dles and mounting collar in a hor-
izontal position, lift the black han-
dled grip as shown.
