CHAPTER Ⅳ BEAD LOOSENING, DEMOUNT AND MOUNT TIRE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The unit must be properly operated and properly maintained to help avoid accidents that could damage
the unit and injure the operator or bystanders. This section of the Operating Instructions
manual reviews the basic operations and use of controls. These instructions should be reviewed with all
employees before they are allowed to work with the machine. Keep these instructions near the machine for
easy reference.
CAUTION - This machine may operate differently from machines you have previously operated.
Practice with a regular steel wheel and tire combination to familiarize you with the machine’s operation
and function.
4.1 BEAD LOOSENING, and DEMOUNT TIRE
4.1.1 Deflate the air in the tire completely and pull out the core. Use the special tool to detach any wheel weights on
the rim (FIG17).NOTE: Loosening the beads on a partially or fully inflated tire is unsafe and causes excessive
wear on pivots with friction against the bumper pads. Deflate the tire completely to prolong the life of your machine.
FIG16
FIG 17
4.1.2 Place the tire between the bead breaking blade and tire pressing runner clog. (Fig18) Then step down the tire
press pedal to detach the rim from the tire(fig2-10 or 3-10). WARNING – Watch your fingers and legs! Repeat the
same operation on the other parts of the tire to make the tire completely detached from the rim. Place the wheel with
the tire detached from the rim on the turntable and step the clamp pedal(fig2-9; 3-9) to clamp the rim. Place the
wheel WITH DROP CENTER UP on the turntable, and clamp in position. Press the wheel down while clamping. You
can select the outer clamp and inner clamp to clamp the wheel according to the rim type. To detach the lip smoothly,
you can use the brush to spread the lubricant or thick soap
liquid between the lip and rim.
WARNING - TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF SCRATCHING
ALLOY and PAINTED RIMS, THESE SHOULD BE
CLAMPED FROM THE OUTSIDE.
FIG 18
WARNING! - ON CHEVROLET CORVETTE WHEELS WITH
THE OPTIONAL LOW PRESSURE SENSOR INSTALLED,
BREAK THE BEAD AT 90 DEGREES OFFSET FROM THE
VALVE STEM. DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL WILL RESULT
IF THE BEAD IS BROKEN AT ANY OTHER POINT ON THE
RIM.
4.1.3 Position the hexangular shaft (FIG 2-3) to the working position to make the demount tool close to the rim of the
wheel. And use the hand wheel (FIG 7-2) to push against the rocker arm and then use the lock handle( FIG 2-12) to
lock. Position the mount/demount head in contact with the rim edge and lock it into place: the tool automatically
moves away from the rim edge vertically. Turn the adjustment knob until the mount/demount head clears from the
rim flange about 2 mm (1/16"): this is necessary to avoid rim damage (FIG19).
The angle of the demount tool has been calibrated according to the standard rim. Adjust as necessary for different
size rims.
FIG 19
4.1.4 Use the bead lifting crowbar to detach until the lip to the hump of the demount tool (FIG20). Press down the
turntable rotation pedal(FIG2-8)to rotate the turntable clockwise until the entire lip completely detached. Depress
the tabletop pedal to rotate the wheel clockwise. The demount head will guide the upper bead up and over the edge
of the wheel. Push down on the tire across from the demount head during table top rotation to utilize the drop center
area of the wheel. This reduces the tensional force on the top or first bead during demount. If desired, the bead lifting
tool can be removed after lifting the bead onto the finger.
Lift and hold the tire at an angle so that the lower bead is resting in the drop center directly across from the demount
head, and is loose below the demount head. Insert the smooth curved end of the bead lifting tool down over the
forward end of the mount/demount tool and below the lower bead. Lift the bead up and over the knob on the demount
head. Depress the table top pedal to rotate the wheel. The demount head will guide the bead up and
over the edge of the wheel. Continue rotation until lower bead is demounted.
FIG 20
CAUTION
At times during the mounting and demounting procedure, the bead lifting tool may encounter resistance or
come under load. Keep one hand firmly on the tool to avoid possible tool disconnect. Use the reversing feature to back
out of jam ups.
Normal table top rotation for demounting is clockwise. Depress the table top pedal to rotate this direction. To rotate
the table top counterclockwise, lift the pedal up with your toe.
In the process of demounting tire, you should keep your hands and the other parts of your body as well as clothing
from the movable parts to prevent injury.
4.1.5 If handling the tube tire, to avoid the damage on the tube, you should keep the valve stem of the tire 10cm from
the right side of the demount tool when demounting. When handling the tube tire, take out the tube and then move
the lower lip upwards to the upper edge of the rim and then repeat the above steps to detach the other lip.
4.2 MOUNT TIRE:
This information must be read and followed carefully to prevent accidents and injuries during mounting.
Check tire and wheel carefully before mounting. Make sure the tire bead diameter and wheel diameter match exactly.
Consult the Rubber Manufacturer's Association for approved rim widths for tire sizes. Attempts to force a bead seat on
mismatched tires and wheels can cause the tire to violently explode, causing serious
personal injury or death to operator and/or bystanders.
Never mount a tire and wheel handed to you by anyone without checking both tire and wheel for damage and
compatibility. Be extra cautious of persons without knowledge of tire service. Keep bystanders out of service area.
Never mount a damaged tire. Never mount a tire on a rusty or damaged wheel. Damaged tires and/or wheels may
explode. If you damage the tire bead during mounting, STOP! Remove the tire and mark it as damaged. Do not mount a
damaged tire.
WARNING - LIBERAL LUBRICATION OF THE TIRE AND RIM IS NECESSARY TO MOUNT TIRE CENTERING
CORRECTLY AND GET A PROPER ON THE RIM. BE SURE YOU ARE USING APPROVED LUBRICANT ONLY.
WARNING - OBSERVE THE ROTATION DIRECTION OF THE TIRE, IF REQUIRED. SOME TIRES HAVE A
COLOR DOT THAT MUST BE KEPT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WHEEL.
4.2.1 Clean the dirt and rust on the rim and lock it on the chuck. Lock the rim on the turntable.
4.2.2 Spread the lubrication liquid or soap liquid around the tire beads. Tilt the tire against the rim and keep the front
end upwards. Press down the hexangular shaft to move the demount arm to contact with the rim and lock. The left lip
above the tail of the demount tool and the right lip will be positioned under the front end of the demount tool (FIG 21).
Depress table top pedal and rotate the wheel to mount the lower bead. Use the drop center of the wheel to reduce
the tensional force on the bead by pressing down on the tire directly across from the mount head. Rotate table top
until lower bead is fully mounted.
FIG 21
For top bead, rotate the table top until the valve stem is at the 5 o'clock position. Lift the upper bead up and over the
rear of the mount head. Press down on the tire between the mount head and the valve stem to hold the tire in the
drop center. Depress table top pedal and rotate tire until the bead is mounted. Continue to press down on tire during
the remaining mounting process.
If table top rotation stalls, reverse the table top momentarily until the tire bead is again loose on the wheel. Reposition
the tire on the mount head; make sure the bead is correctly positioned in the drop center of the wheel, then attempt
mounting again.
4.2.3If there is tube, place it in the tire and plug the core. And assemble the lip according to the above mentioned
step (FIG22). In the process of clamping the rim, do not reach your hands in between the rim and the claw to avoid
the damage to the personnel.
FIG 23FIG 22
4.2 INFLATION:
CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER
Check for proper inflation gauge operation. Accurate pressure readings are important to safe tire inflation. Refer to the
Operating Maintenance section of this manual for instructions.
If the rim has been clamped from the outside for tire mounting, release the clamps, lift the tire, and move the clamps to
the center of the table top. THE RIM MUST BE UNCLAMPED WHEN INFLATING BUT ONLY AFTER BEADS
HAVE BEEN SEATED.
If the wheel/tire has a diameter larger than 14 inches and is difficult to bead seal, the clamps should be moved to the
center of the table top for the bead seal operation.
Tire failure under pressure is hazardous. This tire changer is not intended to be a safety device to contain exploding
tires, tubes, wheels, or bead sealing equipment. Inspect tire and wheel carefully for
match, wear, or defects before mounting. Always use approved tire bead lubricant during mounting and inflation.
The inflation pedal, located at the rear of the left side of the machine, controls the flow of air through the inflation
hose.
NOTE: The clip-on chuck on the end of the hose should always be an open style with all parts in proper working order.
ATTENTION! WHEN OPERATING THE BEAD SEATER IT IS MANDATORY TO WEAR SAFETY GLASSES TO
PROTECT EYES.
The Inflation pedal operates in 3 positions as described below.
Position 1 (All the way up at rest) - Tire Pressure – With the inflation hose attached to the tire valve and the pedal in
this position, the air gauge will register the air pressure in the tire. Whenever your foot is removed from the pedal, it
will return to this position.
Position 2 (Pushed down to the mid level) - Tire Inflation – This is the first activated position. With the inflation hose
attached to the tire valve and the pedal in this position, line pressure is allowed to flow through the valve and
into the tire for inflation. Tire pressure is not indicated on the gauge in this position. The pedal must be released to
read pressure.
Position 3 (Pushed down all the way to lowest level) - Bead Sealing – This is the second and last activated position.
With the inflation hose attached to the tire valve and the pedal in this position, line pressure is allowed to flow through
the valve and to the inflate bead seal jets on the table top for bead sealing.
Use Position 3 for bead sealing only. Do not use this position without a tire and wheel positioned on the table top. Dirt
and debris could be blown into the air with enough force to injure the operator or bystanders. Do not use this position to
inflate a tire.
When the inflation pedal is held in position 2, the pressure should be checked every few seconds to prevent over
inflation. This cycling helps to prevent over inflation of the tire. Tires can still be over inflated and explode with the
use of this technique and if all of the instructions in this manual are not followed completely. It is the operator's
responsibility to follow all instructions and to control inflation pressure as specified in these instructions. Tires
requiring inflation beyond 60 PSI should be inflated in a safety cage.
Tire inflation is performed in three steps: Bead Seal, Bead Seat, and Inflation.
Bead Sealing
1. Position valve stem in front of operator and connect the inflation hose. Hold tire up against upper edge of the
wheel. Be sure tire’s top bead is over the bottom of the valve stem.
2. Depress inflation pedal to position 2 and hold about 1 second to begin air flow through tire valve, then depress
pedal to position 3 and hold briefly – less than 1 full second. The blast of air from the jets will expand tire and seal the
beads.
3. Release the inflation pedal and allow it to return to position 1. Verify that both beads are completely sealed to the
wheel. Repeat these steps if beads have not sealed. It may be necessary to wait a few seconds for the air storage
tank to recover before attempting again.
Note: If tire and wheel are properly lubricated and operator cannot achieve bead seal after 3 or 4 attempts, the valve
core may be removed from the valve stem to allow more air flow into the tire to assist with bead seal. After bead seal
is achieved, remove the chuck and reinstall the valve core.
Bead Seating
Operator should keep hands, arms, and entire body away from the tire during the remaining bead seat and inflation
procedures. Do not stand over tire, as personal injury could result.
NEVER increase air pressure to exceed 40 PSI when attempting Bead Seat. If operator is unable to obtain Bead Seat,
something is wrong. Deflate tire completely, inspect tire and wheel, and correct any problems
found, relubricate both tire beads, and reattempt Bead Seal and Seat procedures. Follow all safety instructions in this
manual and on machine.
1. Once tire pressure is indicated on the air gauge (inflation pedal in position 1; foot removed from pedal), continue to
inject air into the tire in short intervals. Check the pressure frequently. Stand back during bead seat. Keep hands,
arms, and entire body away from tire during this procedure. Tire beads should move outward and "pop" into their
bead seat position as pressure inside the tire increases. If this does not happen, a problem exists. Investigate
carefully.
Check tire pressure frequently. Never exceed 40 PSI while seating beads. Once seated, never exceed tire
manufacturer's recommended air pressure. Tires can explode, especially if they are inflated beyond their limits. At all
pressure levels when inflating through the valve stem, keep hands, arms, and entire body away from inflating tire.
An exploding tire, wheel, or bead sealing equipment may propel upward and outward with sufficient force to cause
serious injury or death to operator or bystander.
Inflation
NEVER exceed tire manufacturer's recommended air pressure. Tires can explode, especially if inflated
beyond these limits. Keep hands, arms, and entire body back from inflating tire. Avoid distraction during inflation.
Do not stand over tire

seal on top side
Check tire pressure frequently to avoid over inflation. Excessive pressure can cause tires to explode, causing serious
injury or death to operator or bystander. THE RIM MUST BE UNCLAMPED WHEN INFLATING BUT ONLY AFTER
BEADS HAVE BEEN SEATED.
This machine is equipped with an inflation gauge for monitoring the inflation of the tire and the inflation pressure(FIG
22).
1. Connect the inflation hose with the tire air core. See
FIG23. Make sure both beads are seated. When both
beads are seated, the tire is ready for inflation.
2. Replace the valve core if it was removed.
3. Depress the inflation pedal to position 2 to inflate the
tire. Release air pressure from tire by pressing the
manual release valve button (inflation hose must be
attached to the valve stem).
STAGES OF INFLATION
Review these descriptions and diagrams carefully.
Refer to them as necessary during bead sealing,
bead seating, and inflation to verify that you are
proceeding properly and safely.
Bead Sealing
A140 PSIair blastfrom thetable top jetscreates an
air curtain to aid in bead sealing. Never exceed
10 PSI in the tire during bead sealing. The tire
will contain about 1/2 to 2 PSI when bead seal
is obtained.
Bead Seating
Bead seating usually occurs on the long tapered
side of the wheel first and the shorter side last. Bead
seating will usually require at least 7 PSI in the tire.
40 PSI is the maximum safe pressure at this stage
regardless of tire operating pressure.
Most European import cars and many aftermarket
alloy wheels are very tight and can be difficult to
bead seat. Also note that asymmetrical hump and
run-flat tires are extremely difficult to bead seat.
Follow tire manufacturer's recommended procedure
for bead seating.

READ…
Mounting and inflating the wrong size tire can get you hurt. Read the size on the tire and make sure it matches the
rim. Be especially careful about putting a smaller tire on a larger rim, such as a 16-inch tire on a 16.5-inch rim.
Inflation of a mismatched tire and rim can cause an explosion.
INSPECT…
Before you put any tire on a rim, inspect the rim for rust, tough spots, bent edges, or cracks that could prevent the
tire from seating right. If you spot any of these problems, don’t mount the tire until the rim has been checked by your
shop foreman. Inspect the tire for bead damage.
MOUNT…
Once you’ve made sure the tire is OK and the right size and the rim is OK, mount the tire safely. NEVER, ever lean
over the tire when you’re inflating it. If a tire does explode, it will go straight up. You don’t want to be over the tire if
that happens. Also, never over-inflate the tire, even if the bead doesn’t seat. Never inflate over 40 PSI. If the tire
wasn’t seated, something is wrong. Deflate the tire and check it and the rim again. If it doesn’t work the second time,
try another tire.
