To prevent industrial accidents, keep hands and other parts
of the body as far from the tool arm as possible when the
table top is turning.
NOTE: If the bead rubber is particularly hard and stiff, it will tend to slip off the
mount/demount tool. To prevent this, before turning the table top clockwise,
rotate it anticlockwise for a couple of centimeters while holding the bead lift-
ing tool (1) as shown in Fig. S.
5) Remove the inner tube if the tyre has one.
6) Repeat the procedure described in point 3 to demount the lower bead.
7) Depress pedal (7, Fig. P) to bring the arm (11, Fig. P) will tilt to its non-working position.
Remove the tyre.
CHECKING TYRE AND RIM
WARNING: This checking of tyre and rim is of the utmost importance to prevent the tyre from bursting during bead seating and in-
flating operations!
Before beginning mounting operations make sure that:
- the tyre is not damage and the cord fabric is not damaged.
If you note defects do not mount the tyre.
- the rim is without dents and is not warped.
NB: particularly with alloy rims, dents can cause internal micro-cracks
not visible to the naked eye.
This can compromise the rim and can also be a source of danger especially
during inflation.
- the diameter of the rim and tyre are EXACTLY the same.
NB: the diameter of the rim is stamped on the rim. The diameter of the
tyre is stamped on the tyre wall. NEVER try to mount a tyre on a rim if
you cannot identify the diameters of both.
MOUNTING
1) Apply a liberal amount of manufacturer recommended rubber lubricant
to tyre beads and rim well.
2) If the rim has been removed from the table top, clamp it back on the
table as previously described in the section on "CLAMPING THE WHEEL".
3) Depress the pedal (7, fig. P) to bring the arm (11, Fig. C) to its work-
ing position.
When moving the tool arm to its work position, do
not place your hands on the rim.
There is always the risk of hands being crushed
between the tool head and the rim.
