Preliminary checks
Check that there is a pressure of at least 8 bar on the pressure gauge of the Filter Regulator +
Lubricator unit.
Check that the machine has been adequately connected to the power mains.
Deciding from which side of the wheel the tyre must be demounted
See g. 10.
Find the position of the drop centre A on the wheel rim. Find the largest width B and the smallest width C.
The tyre must be demounted or mounted with the wheel positioned on the turntable with the side
with the smallest width C facing upward.
Special instructions
Some types of wheels on the market require special procedures and precautions which differ from
the standard procedure.
This applies in particular to the following types of wheels:
Alloy rim wheels: some wheels have alloy rims where the drop centre A is very small or non-existent -
g. 10-B. These rims are not approved by the DOT (Department of Transportation) standards - these
initials certify that tyres comply with the safety standards adopted by the United States and Canada
(these wheels cannot be sold in these markets).
DANGER
Take utmost caution when mounting the tyre. The rim and/or the tyre may be damaged
accidentally, with the risk of the tyre exploding during the ination stage.
European style high-performance wheels (asymmetric curvature) - g.10-C: some European
wheels have rims with very pronounced curvature C, except in the area of the valve hole A where the
curvature is less pronounced B. On these wheels the bead must rst be broken in correspondence
with the valve hole, on both the top and bottom sides of the wheel.
Wheels with low pressure indicator system - g.10-D.

USE
BEAD BREAKING
The bead breaker arm of the machine is equipped with a patented system which allows
to obtain two different working inclinations between the blade and the wheel.
-Fully close the turntable clamps (fig. 11) acting on pedal 3 fig. 9.
-Remove the weights from the rim.
-Fully deate the tyre, removing the valve
- Adjust the rim rest depending on wheel diameter
-Adjust the inclination of the blade according to the wheel width by means of the pin in order to
obtain a better inclination between the blade and the tyre: in position 1 in g.12 for low width tyres,
in position 2 for high width tyres
-Place the wheel as shown in g. 13 and take the blade near the bead, keeping the necessary safety
distance between the rim and the bead breaker blade, so that the latter works on the tyre and not
on the rim.
-Press pedal 1 (g 9) to activate the bead breaker and free the bead from the rim.
Release the pedal. Pressing the bead breaker pedal (1 g. 9) the arm moves (13 g.9) and it may
be dangerous (crushing danger); pay the utmost attention during bead breaking.
Repeat this operation on the other side of the wheel.
It may be necessary to break the bead at several points to free it completely.
WHEEL CLAMPING
-Check if there are any weights left on the rim; if so, remove them.
-Thoroughly lubricate the sides of the tyre around the entire circumference of the lower and upper
bead to facilitate the demounting and avoid damaging the beads (g.15).
-Make sure that nobody is behind the tyre changer and tilt the tower backwards keeping the locking
button in “locked” position.
-Depending on the diameter of the rim, close the four clamps if the rim is to be clamped from inside
or open them if the rim is to be clamped from outside. Place the wheel on the turntable, push it lightly
down and act on the control pedal to lock the wheel in its proper position (g. 15).

the vertical wall begins.
ATTENTION : Use the handle to achieve the correct tool positioning on the rim.
- Press the block 14 to x the tool position.
The distance between rim and tool head will remain unchanged till the control button is in locking
position.The operator can tilt the vertical post (i.e. when handling a set of tyres having same di-
mensions) without repositioning the tool on the rim.
ATTENTION : Risk of hand crushing between demounting / mounting tool and the wheel.
DEMOUNTING
• Upper bead demounting (g.20)
- Move the working arm in work position, and lift the bead above the forward portion of the mounting
head itself.
- Make sure that the tyre has not beaded in on the operator’s side. If necessary, use a bead clamp
and/or the bead pressing device.
- Make the turntable rotate clockwise by pressing the relevant pedal (2 g.9) 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.

• Lower bead demounting (g. 21)
- Lift the tyre nearby the tool.
- Use the tyre lever and hook the lower tyre bead.
- Acting on pedal 1, make the wheel turning till the complete demounting of the tyre from the rim
• Demounting complete
- At the end of the demounting activity, tilt the post using the on-purpose pedal (4 g.9) and, then,
remove the tyre.
MOUNTING
CAUTION
Always check that the tyre/rim combination is correct in terms of compatibility (tubeless tyre on
tubeless rim; tube type tyre on tube type rim) and geometrical size (keying diameter, cross-section
width, Off-Set and shoulder prole) before mounting.
Also check that rims are not deformed, that their xing holes have not become oval, that they are
not scaled or rusty and that they do not have sharp burrs on the valve holes.
Check that the tyre is in good condition with no signs of damage.
• Tyre preparation (g. 22)
- Grease both the tyre beads.
- Place the tyre on the rim
• Head positioning
- Operate pedal (4) to move the head into its working position.
NB: The tool is already in the correct position for mounting the tyre, unless the type of rim
has been changed.
• Lower bead mounting
- Place the bottom bead of the tyre underneath the tool and at the same time apply a little pressure to
the tyre by hand while starting to rotate the wheel (pedal 1) for easier bead insertion.
- Rotate until tyre mounting is complete.
