WARNING
Always check that the size of the tyre is compatible with the size of the wheel before
proceeding with mounting.
- Before you start with tyre mounting operations, apply a liberal amount of tyre manu-
facturer approved rubber lubricant to both beads (fig.19).
Lubricated beads require less force to mount/seat and are protected against torsional
damage.
Make sure that the tyre is in good condition without any signs of undue wear or dam-
age.
- Place the tyre over the wheel and tilt the tower forward. Position the bottom bead
(fig.20) beneath the right hand side of the mount/demount head. Press the table top
control pedal to turn the table clockwise and mount the bead. Use the drop centre by
pressing the sidewall opposite the head to reduce tensional force on the bead as the
wheel rotates (fig.20).
- Once you have mounted the bottom bead, repeat the same steps for the upper bead
(fig.21).
- Tilt the tower back, free the wheel and take it off the tyre changer.
To facilitate mounting/demounting of low-profile tyres, it is advisable to use the bead
presser pliers (optional accessory).
