STEP 2:
Open the bead breaker arm by hand. Place the wheel up against the Rubber Wheel
Support. Position the Bead Breaker Paddle against the bead (where the tire and the
rim meet…but the paddle needs to be held on the tire area…not the rim). (see Fig.4 )
STEP 3:
Depress the bead breaker pedal fully to activate the paddle (Fig 5). Release pressure
on the bead breaker pedal when the blade has reached the end of its travel and / or
when the tire bead becomes free of the rim (“Broken”).
STEP 4:
Rotate the tire slightly, and repeat the procedure around the entire circumference of
the wheel rim, until the bead is completely detached from the rim. (Fig.5)
STEP 5:
Repeat the above steps for the other side of the wheel / tire.
