4 • Positioning the bead breaker (fig. 12)
- Move the bead breaker unit from the rest position to the working position by moving
using the handle 3 (A).
-Move the disc towards the rim:
- swing horizontally by hand (B)
- move vertically using control 1 (C)
- When the chosen distance is reached (a gap of 2-3 mm should be left between the edge
of the rim and the bead breaker disc), operate the control 2 to prevent further horizontal
movement (D).
5 • Breaking the top bead (fig.13)
- Preload the bead breaker disc using control 2 (the tyre should be pressed down by
about 5 mm).
- Start disc penetration (control 1) and then start wheel rotation (pedal 3), while at the
same time lowering the bead breaker disc a little at a time (control 2).
- Perform at least one complete revolution to break the bead. The rim bead should be
greased during rotation.
- Release the penetration control 1.
6 • Tilting the bead breaker unit (fig.14)
- Move the bead breaker unit to the rest position (A).
- Press the button 1 and guide the bead breaker unit during rotation through 180° until
it engages again (B).
- Return the bead breaker unit to the working position.
7 • Breaking the bottom bead (fig. 15)
- Apply pressure to the tyre with the disc using control 1 (A) (the tyre should be pressed
down by about 5 mm).
- Obtain disc penetration by keeping button 2 pressed, start to rotate the wheel (pedal
3) and at the same time raise the bead breaker disc a little at a time (control 1) until
the bead is completely broken (B). The rim bead should be greased during rotation.
- Release the penetration button (2) and lower the disc using control 1 (C).
7a • Tilting the bead breaker unit (fig.15a)
- Move the bead breaker unit to the rest position (A).
- Press the button 1 and guide the bead breaker unit during rotation through 180° until
it engages again (B).
- Return the bead breaker unit to the working position.
8 • Positioning the tool (fig. 16/17)
- Move the tool head into the working position (control 1).
- It may be useful to press the tyre down to make room for the tool.
- Release the tool by pulling block 2 towards you (A).
- For correct tool positioning, the insert 3 must be against the edge of the rim in the point
where the vertical wall starts (C).
- Press the block 2 to fix the tool position (D).
9 • Engaging the top bead (fig.18) A-B-C-D
- Maintaining the pressure of the bead breaker disc on the tyre, create enough space to
allow the demount tool to be rocked.
- Using control 1, rock the demount tool (A-B-C-D).
- It is important to rotate the turntable slightly to facilitate engagement of the bead.
