This space between the rim and the verti-
cal slide will be maintained for as long as
the knob is in the locking position.
The operator can tilt the tower freely (eg.
when demounting wheels of the same size)
without repositioning the vertical slide.
- Insert and position the bead lifting tool
on the mounting vertical slide (fig.17).
When working with alloy wheels or wheels
with delicate paintwork, you are advised
A 224 - A 224 TI
to remove the bead lifting tool before
proceeding with the demounting.
Grip the bead lifting tool firmly during use.
- Raise the upper bead to above the rear part
of the demounting vertical slide (fig.17a)
and force part of the upper bead into the
rim groove by pushing down on the side
wall of the tyre nearest to the operator.

detaching the upper bead, tilt the tower
back and remove the inner tube before
proceeding to demount the lower bead.
