MoUNTING/DEMoUNTING THE TYRE
WARNING
For all tyre mounting/demounting procedures not specifically described, refer to the tyre
changer operator's manual.
The SUPER RM accessory is designed to simplify the demounting and mounting of light alloy rims
and especially stiff low-profile tyres.
Proceed as follows to get the best performance from these accessories.
- After breaking the bead of the wheel, place it on the turntable and clamp it on the outside. Fit
the rim clamping cone on the end of the articulated arms, align the cone with the hole in the
centre of the rim and press the down lever (fig.20) until the sliding clamps have been inserted
between the rim and the tyre (fig.22), then press the pedal to clamp the wheel.
- Remove the centering cone, put it away and restore the bead presser block to its place.
- Tilt the column forward and position the mounting/demounting tool, place the rim clamping
roller at a tangent to the external diameter of the rim (fig.23) and press the down lever to create
a gap between the mounting/demounting tool and the tyre large enough to allow the bead
lifter lever to be inserted (fig.23). Remove the bead presser roller, position the bead presser
block opposite the mounting/demounting tool and press the down leverto insert the bead inside
the drop centre of the rim (fig. 25). Now place the bead on top of the mounting/demounting
tool, move the bead presser block away, press the rotation pedal and extract the first bead
(fig.24).
- Bring the bottom bead up to the top edge of the rim; in some cases, even if the bead has
already been broken, the bottom bead will remain in place because it has stuck to the rim. If
this occurs, use the RM 3 disc, inserting it between the bottom bead and the rim (fig.29), press
the rotation pedal and lift (fig. 30-31).
- After breaking the bead of the wheel, place it on the turntable and clamp it on the outside.
Align the rim clamping cone with the hole in the centre of the rim and press the down lever
(fig.21) until the sliding clamps have been inserted between the rim and the tyre (fig.22), then
press the pedal to clamp the wheel.
- Tilt the column forward and position the mounting/demounting tool, place the rim clamping roller
at a tangent to the external diameter of the rim (fig.23) and press the down lever to create a
gap between the mounting/demounting tool and the tyre large enough to allow the bead lifter
lever to be inserted (fig.23). Remove the bead presser roller, position the bead presser bell and
press the down lever to insert the bead inside the drop centre of the rim (fig. 26). Now place
the bead on top of the mounting/demounting tool, move the bead presser bell away, press the
rotation pedal and extract the first bead (fig.24).
- Bring the bottom bead up to the top edge of the rim; in some cases, even if the bead has
already been broken, the bottom bead will remain in place because it has stuck to the rim. If
this occurs, place the bell underneath the bottom bead and press the up lever (fig.28).
