D. Liberally lubricate both beads.
Place the wheel WITH DROP CENTER UP (Fig.15) on the
turntable, and clamp in position. Hold the tire and
wheel down while clamping.
E. Position the mount/demount head in contact with
rim edge and lock it into place: the tool automatically
(Fig.16)
moves away from the rim edge vertically. Turn the
adjustment knob until the mount/demount head clears
from the rim flange about 1/16" (2mm): this is necessary
to avoid any rim damage (Fig.16).
NOTE:
THE ROLLER INSIDE THE MOUNT/DEMOUNT TOOL MAY BE
REPLACED BY A PLASTIC INSERT. REPLACEMENT IS
SUGGESTED FOR OPERATORS MAINLY WORKING ON
LIGHT ALLOY RIMS.
EVERY MACHINE IS EQUIPPED WITH SEVERAL PLASTIC
INSERTS (INSIDE STANDARD EQUIPMENT BOX). THE
PLASTIC INSERTS WILL HELP AVOID DAMAGE FROM
ACCIDENT CONTACT BETWEEN THE TOOL AND THE RIM.
THE PLASTIC INSERTS MUST BE PERIODICALLY REPLACED.
NOTE:
ONCE THE MOUNT/DEMOUNT HEAD IS POSITIONED
PROPERLY, MATCHING WHEELS MAY BE CHANGED
WITHOUT HAVING TO RESET THE HEAD.
F. Insert the bead lifting tool under the bead and over
the support of the mount/demount tool.
Lift the bead onto the mounting.
To make this operation easier, insure that the bead of
the tire, directly across from the mount/demount head,
is in the drop center of the wheel. Push the tire into the
drop center with your hand or bead depressor tool if
necessary.
If desired, the bead lifting tool can be removed after
lifting the bead onto the finger (Fig.17).

G. Rotate the turntable clockwise and at the same time
push down on the tire sidewall to move the bead into
the drop center of the rim (Fig.18).

(Fig.18)
H. Repeat the process for removing the lower bead.
This time, lift the bead opposite to the mount/demount
head to keep it in the drop center (Fig.19).
Move the swing arm aside and remove the tire.
