locks it there.
The same control releases the tool arm and swings it outwards.

ead breaker disC unit funCtional Controls
B1 - Bead breaker disc penetration control
At the start of the bead breaking process, when the bead breaker
disc comes into contact with the tyre, activate this "hold-to-run"
control for radial movement of the bead breaker disc.
This allows controlled disc penetration during bead breaking.
The bead breaker disc will now work around the proile of the
rim, simplifying bead breaking.
B2- Bead breaker disc positioning locking/release control
Locks the bead breaker disc in the position required.
The control has two positions:
In position
the bead breaker disc arm travels freely to allow optimal radial
positioning on the edge of the rim.
In position
pneumatically locked in place, allowing the start of the bead
breaking operations.
B3 - Lever controlling vertical movement of the bead breaker
unit
B4 - Bead breaker unit release control
