4. OPERATION

 WARNING! The tyre must be deflated before using the bead breaker. Failure to heed this warning, could result in injury.

 WARNING! DO NOT use on split, multi-piece or rims greater than 26”.

4.1. Connect the bead breaker to your pump. You may use either a manual pump (RE97.10-01) or a air hydraulic pump (RE83/840).

4.1.1. Note:-The manual pump may need to be operated by a second person to allow the operator to keep both hands on the bead breaker.

4.1.2. Note:-The foot operated air hydraulic pump will enable you to maintain greater control over the bead breaker. If using an air pump you will
require an air supply of 100 - 120psi.

4.1.3. Note:-Whichever pump you use, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with that pump for correct connection and usage.

4.2. Remove valve core and all balance weights.

4.3. Hold the breaker to the rim as shown in g.1.

4.4. Operate the pump. With the claw pushing against the

outer part of the rim, the shovel and feet push against the
bead of the tyre and the inner rim.

4.5. Maintaining the pump pressure, the shovel pushes

against the tyre and breaks the bead from the wheel
rim. When the bead is broken release the pump pressure
and remove the bead breaker from the rim.

4.6. Repeat this operation around the wheel as many times

as necessary to break the tyre bead all the way around
the wheel.

4.7. Repeat steps 4.3 to 4.6 on the opposite side of the

wheel.
