SPECIAL WHEELS
Wheels with alloy rims: some wheels with alloy rims
have a minimum A rim channel or do not have any
channel - Fig. 13A. These rims are not approved by
DOT standards (Department of Transportation). The
DOT initials certify that tyres comply with the safety
standards adopted by the United States and Canada
(these wheels cannot be sold in these markets).
High performance wheels (asymmetric curvature) -
Fig. 13B some European wheels have rims with very
pronounced curvature C, except in the area of the valve
hole A where the curvature is less pronounced B. On these
wheels the bead must first be broken in correspondence
of the valve hole, on both the top and bottom sides.
Wheels with pressure sensor - Fig.13C. To work correctly
on these wheels and avoid damaging the sensor
(which can be incorporated in the valve, secured to
the belt, glued inside the tyre, etc.) suitable mounting/
demounting procedures must be observed (refer to
"Approved mounting/demounting procedure for runflat
and UHP tyres").
The TPMS device (optional accessory) can be used to check the proper operation
of pressure sensor.
Remove the old weights from the rim before starting work operations.
8.3. BEAD BREAKING
Before bead breaking operation, completely close the turntable (locking wedges towards
the centre) (A, Fig.16), keeping your hands away from moving parts.
