Instruction Manual
Copyright 2/0
Mount First Bead
Mounting: Insert valve stem. Lubricate both bead seats of
the rim and both tire beads. Push lower bead over flange and
into rim well. Using the wing shaped end of tire iron with stop
resting on rim flange, pry tire over flange, starting where tire
bead crosses rim flange. Repeat progressively around tire
working with small sections until the tire is completely over
the rim. By rocking the tool sideways onto the wing, the tip
will release itself from the rim and bead. (See figure #3 below)
Mount Second Bead
Stand on the tire to push a section of the bead over the flange and into the well. When
using this tool, a bead keeper (#3 7 0) is recommended to hold the bead in place . (See
figure #2 ) While standing on the tire, insert the wing shaped end of the tire iron between
the tire bead and rim flange. Push the tire bead over the rim flange opposite where the tire
is already in the well. Repeat this step taking small sections of the bead until the last
section is pried over the rim flange until tire is mounted.
The small end of the tool
easily gets under the
stretched bead for that last
pull.
