Bead Breaker
Use the Bead Breaker to break the Beads (on both sides) of the Tires you are demounting.
⚠
WARNING
Do not break the Beads of a Tire until you are certain the Tire is fully
deflated
. Breaking the Bead of a Tire with air still in it could injure you or others
nearby. The best way to be sure the Tire is fully deflated is to remove the Valve
Core and wait for all of the air to come out.
Top view. Not to scale. Not all components shown.
⚠
WARNING
There is a risk of a crushing injury with the Bead Breaker
. Keep your
hands, feet, body, and loose clothing clear of the blade. Do not hold onto the Blade
Handle when the Bead Breaker is moving. After positioning the Bead Breaker Blade
using the Handle, move away from the Bead Breaker, and make sure the area is
completely clear,
before
pressing down on the Bead Breaker Foot Pedal.
The main parts of the Bead Breaker are:
•
Bead Breaker Mechanism
. Moves in and out under the control of the Bead Breaker Foot
Pedal. Moves with great force; make sure you are completely clear of the Blade and the Bead
Breaker Mechanism
before
pressing down on the Bead Breaker Foot Pedal.
•
Blade
. The part of the Bead Breaker that contacts the Tire and actually breaks the Bead. Make
sure to keep the Blade on the Tire and slightly off the Wheel Rim. You could damage the Rim with
the Blade.
•
Blade Handle
. Controls the Blade, moving it side to side and in and out.
•
Pad
. The side of the Tire whose Bead is
not
being broken goes against the Pad mounted to the
side of the Tire Changer.
Bead Lifting Tool
The Bead Lifting Tool is a hand tool, used to pull the Tire’s Bead up and over the Mount/Demount Tool
when demounting a Tire.
You can also use the Bead Lifting Tool to push down the Tire’s Bead — to the left of the
Mount/Demount Head — during the mounting of a Tire.
The Bead Lifting Tool has an angled and a hooked end. You can use either end. See figure on
