TYRE MOUNTING
WHEELS WITH 3-PIECE SIDE RINGS
1) Move the turntable arm to the non-
working position.
If the rim has been removed from the turn-
table, reclamp it as described in the "WHEEL
CLAMPING" paragraph.
N.B.: If the wheel has an inner tube, position
the rim with the valve slot at the bottom (at
6 o'clock).
2) Lubricate the tyre beads and rim using the
recommended soapy solution.
3) Move the control console to working
position B.
4) Move the mobile platform outward in order
to place the tyre on it.
N.B.: If the wheel has an inner tube, position
the tyre with the valve at the bottom (at 6
o'clock).
5) Lower or lift the turntable in order to ex-
actly centre the rim to the tyre.
6) Move the platform inward to make the rim

side then lower it to the working position
with the bead breaker disc turned towards
the wheel.
N.B.: If the tyre is not inserted sufficiently
on the rim, move the turntable until the tyre

9) Move the tool holder arm to its non-working
position and completely close the turntable
clamps being careful to support the wheel to
keep it from falling.
