· Lower the mounting bar (M) so that the mounting head (I) rests aga-
inst the edge of the rim and lock it using the lever (K). This will lock
the arm in both vertical and horizontal direction and move the moun-
ting head (I) of about 2 mm from the rim.
· .With the lever (T) inserted between the bead and the front section of the
mounting head (I), move the tire bead over the mounting head.
· With the lever held in this position, rotate the turntable (Y) in a cloc-
kwise direction by pressing pedal (Z) down until the tire is completely
separated from the wheel rim.
In order to avoid damaging the inner tube if
there is one, it is advisable to carry out this
operation with the valve about 10 cm right of
the mounting head. (Fig. 16)
With the lever held in this position, rotate the turntable (Y) in a clockwi-
se direction by pressing pedal (Z) down until the tire is completely sepa-
rated from the wheel rim
Remove the inner tube if there is one and repeat the operation for the
other bead.
Chains, bracelets, loose clothing or foreign
objects in the vicinity of the moving parts
can represent a danger for the operator.
4.3 MOUNTING THE TIRE
It is utmost important to check the tire
and rim to prevent tire explosion during
the inflating operations. Before beginning
mounting operation, make sure that: The
tire and cord fabric are not damaged. If
you note defects DO NOT mount the tire.
The rim is without dents and is not war-
ped. Pay attention to alloy rims, internal
micro-cracks are not visible to naked eye.
This can compromise the rim and canal-
so be a source of danger especially du-
ring inflation. The diameter of the rim and
tire are exactly the same. NEVER try to
mount a tire on a rim if you cannot iden-
tify the diameter of both.
