TO BE ALIGNED WITH THE VALVE STEM. IF THIS
IS THE CASE BE SURE TO ATTAIN PROPER
ALIGNMENT PRIOR TO TIRE INFLATION.
B. Lock the rim to the turntable and rotate it so that the
valve is at the 2 o'clock position. Place the tire to be
mounted on the rim. Swing the mount/demount arm in
so that the mount/demount head is in the working position.
(Fig. 4.2-3) Position the lower bead on top of the mount/
demount head and UNDER the mounting finger of the
mount/demount head (Fig. 4.2-3). Turn the wheel
clockwise (right pedal down) while simultaneously
pushing the tire down into the drop center, opposite to
the mount/demount head.

C. Mount the upper bead following the same directions
in section B. With low profile tires the Bead Holding Clamp
(option EAA0247C70A Fig. 4.2-4) or the PBA device
(See chapter 5.3), can help to prevent the top bead from
prematurely seating during the mounting cycle.
NOTE: Bead Holding Clamp must be removed prior to
coming full circle and impacting the mount/demount head.
