of the demount head. Hold the tool and bead in this
position (figure 13).

14. Depress the table top pedal to rotate the wheel.
The Duckhead will guide the tire bead up and over the
edge of the wheel. Continue rotation until the upper
bead is demounted.
L. Push down on the tire across from the
demount head during table top rotation to uti-
lize the drop center area of the wheel. This
reduces the tensional force on the top or first
bead during demount (figure 12).

15. 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 (figure 14). 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 (figure 15).

16. 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.
M. With tube-type tires, demount the upper
bead and remove the tube before demounting
the lower bead.
After successfully completing the demount
process, proceed to Mounting (page 8).
