Figure 8 - Proper Mount/Demount Tool Position
IMPORTANT: The vertical tool clearance may change
with machine use and should be inspected often. Fail-
ure to maintain the proper clearance may result in dam-
age to the wheel rim and/or tire.
10. Insert the smooth curved end of the bead lift-
ing tool over the forward end of the demount tool and
below the top bead of the tire. Use your free hand to
press down on the tire opposite the tool to help with
tool insertion (Figure 9).
Figure 9 - Insert Bead Lifting Tool
11. Rotate the bead lifting tool down towards the
wheel to lift the tire bead up and over the knob portion
of the demount tool. The tool may be removed if desired
(Figure 10).
Figure 10 - Lift Bead Over Demount Tool
12. Depress the table top pedal to rotate the wheel
clockwise. The demount tool will guide the upper bead
up and over the edge of the wheel.
NOTE: Push down on the tire across from the demount
tool during table top rotation to utilize the drop center
area of the wheel. This reduces the tensional force on
the bead during demount.
13. Lift and hold the tire at an angle so that the lower
bead is resting in the drop center directly across from
the demount tool, and is loose below the demount tool
(Figure 11). Insert the smooth curved end of the bead
lifting tool down over the forward end of the mount/
demount tool and below the lower bead. Lift the bead
up and over the knob on the demount tool (Figure 11).
Figure 11 - Demounting Lower Bead
14. Depress the table top pedal to rotate the wheel.
The demount tool will guide the bead up and over the
edge of the wheel. Continue rotation until lower bead
is demounted.
NOTE: With tube-type tires, demount the upper bead
and remove the tube before demounting the lower
bead.
NOTE: Table top rotation can be stopped at any time
by removing your foot from the pedal.
NOTE: Normal table top rotation for demounting is
clockwise. Depress the table top pedal to rotate this
direction. To rotate the table top counterclockwise, lift
the pedal up with your toe.
CAUTION
At times during the mounting and demount-
ing procedure, the bead lifting tool may
encounter resistance or come under load.
Keep one hand firmly on the tool to avoid
possible tool disconnect. Use the reversing
feature to back out or jam ups.
