• Tool positioning  (g.14 - 15)
- Set the mounting bar in work position and let the 
mounting head touch the edge of the rim.
- Adjust the position of the operating arm by 
turning the handwheel on the pole unit the tool 
has moved 2 to 3 mm away from the edge of the 
rim.
- Pull the lever placed on the horizontal arm until 
the mounting bar is locked; the mounting head 
will automatically move 2/3 mm. away from the 
edge of the rim, thus protecting it from damage.
 
DEMOUNTING
- Position the tyre lever between the mounting 
head and the tyre bead and lift the bead above the forward portion of the mounting head itself. 
- Make the turntable rotate clockwise by pressing the relevant pedal lightly and repeatedly, then 
keep the pedal continuously pressed. 
- Rotate the wheel through one turn and at the same time press down with a hand  on the side of 
the tyre opposite to the mounting head, in order to position the bead in the central groove of the 
rim. 
- If the wheel has an inner tube, remove it after swinging the horizontal arm + mounting bar in 
non-work position. 
- Repeat the above described procedures to take out the second bead. Then move the horizontal 
arm + mounting bar in non-work position and take the tyre off  the rim.
