• Raise the bead breaker disc.
• Move the sensor to 6 o clock (valve at 12 o clock).
• Push in the bead breaker disk and it the gripper at 2
o clock.
• Apply plenty of lubricant and then break the lower bead.
• Move the gripper to 2 o clock.
• Position the demounting unit (tool head).
• Lower the swing tool to ind the bead.
• Rotate clockwise so that the gripper is at 6 o clock (sensor
at 10 o clock).
• The bead is now engaged.
• Engage the bead with the demounting head.
• Rotate clockwise to demount the tyre, with the bead breaker
disk in the down position.
• Remove the gripper.
• Now demount the underside of the tyre, taking care not to
damage the sensor.
mounting
• Reinstall the valve sensor (if removed).
• Lubricate both tyre beads.
• Place the sensor at 5 or 6 o clock.
• Set the tyre at an angle of about 45 degrees.
• Turn the tyre so that it is touching the tyre mounting head
and is starting to be mounted on the rim.
• Turn the tyre until the lower bead is mounted.
• Turn the sensor to 4 or 5 o clock.
• Lower the bead breaker to allow a bead presser gripper to
be inserted at 3 o clock.
• Lower the bead breaking arm by about 5 cm (2 or 3 inches)
to keep the upper bead of the tyre inside the open centre
during rotation.
• Rotate the tyre and make the necessary adjustments until
the upper bead has been mounted.
• It may be useful to assist the operation with a second RunFlat
gripper and/or the bead presser accessory, if available.
• Using the bead breaker disc, remove the RunFlat grippers
used.
• Connect the inlation line to the valve for bead insertion.

CORRECT PROCEDURE FOR DEMOUNTING/
MOUNTING RUN FLAT TYRES WITH STRAP-
ON SENSOR
NOTE: THE SENSOR IS AT 180° TO THE TYRE VALVE
tyre demounting
• Remove the valve plunger and allow all the air to discharge
from the tyre.
• Make a visual check on the sensor s real position; if it is at 180°.
• Place the sensor at 3 o clock (valve at 9 o clock).
• Lower the bead breaker disc and start the rotational bead
breaking stage.
• Lubricating the bead, continue rotational upper bead break-
ing until the sensor is at 12 o clock (valve at 6 o clock) and
not beyond.
• Raise the bead breaker disc.
• Move the sensor to 6 o clock (valve at 12 o clock).
• Push in the bead breaker disk and it the gripper at 2 o clock.
• Apply plenty of lubricant and break the lower bead using
the same positioning as in the previous stages.
• Move the gripper to 2 o clock (sensor at 6 o clock – valve
at 12 o clock).
• Position the demounting unit (tool head).
• Lower the swing tool to ind the bead.
• Rotate clockwise so that the gripper is at 6 o clock (sensor
at 10 o clock – valve at 4 o clock).
• The bead is now engaged.
• Engage the bead with the demounting head.
• Rotate clockwise to demount the tyre, with the bead breaker
disk in the down position.
• Remove the gripper.
• Now demount the underside of the tyre, taking care not to
damage the sensor.
mounting
• Lubricate both tyre beads.
• Place the sensor at 2 or 3 o clock (valve at 8 o clock).
• Set the tyre at an angle of about 45 degrees.
• Turn the tyre so that it is touching the tyre mounting head
and is starting to be mounted on the rim.
• Turn the tyre until the lower bead is mounted.
• Turn the sensor to 4 or 5 o clock (valve at 10 o clock).
• Lower the bead breaker to allow a bead presser gripper to
be inserted at 3 o clock.
• Lower the bead breaking arm by about 5 cm (2 or 3 inches)
to keep the upper bead of the tyre inside the open centre
during rotation.
• Rotate the tyre and make the necessary adjustments until
the upper bead has been mounted.
• It may be useful to assist the operation with a second RunFlat
