WARNING
OBSERVE THE ROTATION DIRECTION OF THE
TIRE, IF REQUIRED. SOME TIRES HAVE A COLOR
DOT THAT MUST BE KEPT ON THE OUTSIDE OF
THE WHEEL.
B. Lock the rim on the turntable and rotate it to have the
valve in 5 o'clock position. Place the tire to be mounted
on the rim. Swing the mounting arm forward so that the
mount/demount tool is in the working position. Engage
the lower bead OVER the mounting wing and UNDER
the mounting finger of the mounting tool. Turn the wheel

clockwise and push the tire down into the drop center,
opposite to the mount/demount head (Fig. 4.2-3).
C. Mount the upper bead following the directions in section
B (Fig. 4.2-4). With low profile tyres the pneumatic bead
holding and mounting tool "Easymont Pro" - (optional
retrofit kit #6027341) can help to facilitate mounting of
the top bead.
4.2.1 Use the bead presser as a mounting
help device.
A. Mount the first bead.
Position the roller (Item 1) and the bead pusher tool (Item
905.tif
2) as showed in Fig. 4.2.1-1.
B. Lower the bead pusher so that the roller and the bead
pusher tool on the tire help keeping the bead into the drop
center (Fig. 4.2-4).
The bead pusher tool follows the tire rotation during the
mounting operation.
Bring the roller and the bead pusher tool back to rest
position.
