USING THE 11010 BEAD BREAKER
Positioning the Bead Breaker
Position the bead breaker, so that the wedge- shaped teeth
will grad evenly under the rim flange when the clamping
jaw tightens. ( See Fig. 2)
NOTE: Make sure the bead breaker is about 30
12 inches [0,3 m], to one side of the flange butt weld.
Activating the Bead Breaker
CAUTION
The bead breaker uses a long stroke and high force. Be
Careful not to damage or bend rim parts, such as flange
But weld, when using the bead breaker.
1. Run the air hydraulic pump so that the clamping jaw begins to
tighten against the rim. (See Fig. 3) Make sure the wedge –
shaped teeth are placed well into the tire bead and against the
rim flange.
NOTE: To grab the rim flange evenly, you may have to try
Several times. Do not force the bead breaker when grabbing
the flange.
2. Continue to apply hydraulic pressure until the bead breaking
ram extends about ¼ inch [6,35 mm] from the bead breaker.
