7. Use Robo Arm to apply pressure to aid in clamp-
ing rim (figure 7). Use the clamp control pedal to move
the clamps inward (push pedal down) or outward (tog-
gle pedal up). Clamp steel wheels from the inside
(clamps push outward against wheel). Clamp mag and
custom wheels from the outside (clamps push inward
against the outside rim edge). Refer to the
Performance Tires and Wheels section.

8. Move the swing arm into position. Pull the locking
handle forward to release the slide. Push down on the
top of the vertical slide to
move the demount head

slide into place. As the
slide is locked, the
mount/demount head will
move upward approxi-
mately 1/8-inch from rim
edge (figure 8).
