◇
Rotate the wheel using the Turntable Pedal until the valve stem is at the 3 o’clock
position in relation to the Mount/Demount Head.

Insert the smooth curved end of the Bead Lifting Tool over the tab side of the
Mount/Demount Head and below the top bead of the tire.
◇
Push the Bead Lifting Tool down and away from the wheel to lower the bead into the
Drop Center while lifting up on the Table Top Pedal to rotate the turntable counter
clockwise.
NOTE:
THIS CLEARANCE WILL BE MAINTAINED AS LONG AS THE VERTICAL SHAFT REMAINS
LOCKED. THE OPERATOR MAY SWING THE ARM OUT OF THE WAY AND BACK INTO PLACE
AGAIN WITHOUT NEEDING TO REPOSITION THE HEAD WHEN CHANGING A LIKE SET OF
WHEELS. THE TOOL CLEARANCE MAY CHANGE WITH MACHINE USE AND SHOULD BE
INSPECTED OFTEN. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN PROPER CLEARANCE MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE
TO THE WHEEL RIM OR TIRE.
THE BEAD LIFTING TOOL AND DEMOUNT HEAD MAY ENCOUNTER RESISTANCE OR COME
UNDER LOAD AT TIMES DURING THE MOUNT AND DEMOUNT PROCEDURES. KEEP ONE HAND
FIRMLY ON THE TOOL TO AVOID POSSIBLE TOOL KICK BACK. USE THE REVERSING FEATURE
(LIFT TABLE TOP PEDAL UPWARDS) TO BACK OUT OF JAM UPS.
