QUICK START SETUP GUIDE- Demounting
1. The Centering Cone must make contact with the Hub
Hole Edge.
2. You MUST use the Turntable Spacer when the Hub
Hole of the Rim requires use of either of the Large Cen-
tering Cones.
3. Use of the Large Centering Cone without the Spacer
will prevent proper wheel mounting.

Turntable. When you press the “Target Lock” Button for
the Bead Hook / Tab Arm, the Hook/Tab Arm will extend

During operation of the RX3040 you will likely damage some of the components listed below. We supply
spares with your Tire Changer, but you will always want to have some on hand and when training new operators.
The inserts, pins and hooks are designed to break before damage is done to a rim or tire. Use a inexpensive
