C. Set the rim clamps to the proper position: retract
clamps to clamp the wheel from the outside and expand
clamps to clamp from the inside.
When clamping small wheels (14" or smaller) from
the outside, set the clamps at a diameter nearly equal
to the rim diameter, before placing the wheel on the
clamps. This will help avoid the possibility of pinching
the tire as the clamps retract.
NOTICE !
TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF SCRATCHING AL-
LOY OR CLEAR COATED RIMS, THESE RIMS
SHOULD BE CLAMPED FROM THE OUTSIDE.
USING OPTIONAL PLASTIC RIM PROTECTION
WILL MINIMIZE RIM DAMAGE WHEN CLAMPING
ON THE INSIDE.
D. Liberally lubricate both beads. Place the wheel
WITH DROP CENTER UP (Fig.13a) on the turntable,
and clamp in position. Hold the tire and wheel down
while clamping.
Fig.13
E. Gently position the mount/demount head in contact
with rim edge, now manually push the lock lever up
and lock it into place. The tool automatically moves
vertically up and away from the rim edge. Turn the
swing arm adjustment knob until the mount/demount
head moves horizontally away from the rim fl ange by
approximately 1/25" (1mm) (Fig.14): this is necessary
to avoid any rim contact during the changing process.
F. Note that some OEM wheels and many aftermarket
wheels require the wheel is clamped face down. The
tire bead can only be removed over the inner rim fl ange.
Take care to use correct reverse mount clamping from
the outside with rim edge protectors installed.

DANGER!!
Keep hands and fi ngers clear of mount/demount
head during operation.

NOTE:
EVERY MACHINE IS EQUIPPED WITH SEVERAL
REPLACEMENT PLASTIC INSERTS (INSIDE STAN-
DARD EQUIPMENT PACK). THE PLASTIC INSERTS
WILL HELP AVOID DAMAGE FROM ACCIDENTAL
CONTACT BETWEEN THE MOUNT/DEMOUNT HEAD
AND THE RIM. THE PLASTIC INSERTS WILL NEED
TO BE PERIODICALLY REPLACED.
MAINTENANCE NOTE:
IF THE MOUNT/DEMOUNT HEAD NYLON INSERTS
ARE WEARING OUT PREMATURELY, THE CAUSE
IS THE OPERATORS FAILURE TO CORRECTLY
SET THE SWING ARM ADJUSTMENT KNOB, CAUS-
ING THE INSERT TO INCORRECTLY CONTACT
THE RIM.
NOTE:
ONCE THE MOUNT/DEMOUNT HEAD IS POSITIONED
PROPERLY, IDENTICAL WHEELS MAY BE CHANGED
WITHOUT HAVING TO RESET THE HEAD.
NOTE:
ON VEHICLES WITH TPMS SENSORS, LOCATE THE
SENSOR AWAY FROM THE BEAD OF THE DROP CEN-
TER. ALSO MAKE SURE THE TIRE LEVER DOES NOT
CONTACT THE SENSOR DURING THE MOUNT OR
DEMOUNT PROCESS. DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL AND/
OR SENSOR WILL RESULT IF THE BEAD IS BROKEN
AT ANY OTHER POINT ON THE RIM.
