IMPORTANT!
Never attempt to fit or remove a tyre without first lubricating both beads.

BEAD BREAKING

Remove the valve core to deflate the tyre and remove all balance weights.
Lift the bead breaker clear of the tyre changer foot.
Place the wheel on the foot of the tyre changer, locating the rim on the raised bar on the foot.
Set the bead breaker arm at the appropriate height for the wheel and position the bead breaker shoe under the rim flange (fig.7).
Pull down firmly on the bar and repeat around the rim until the bead is free (fig.8).
Turn the wheel over and repeat to free the other bead.
NOTE: When bead breaking on TD or TDX wheels the wheel must be horizontal. Locate the rim onthe foot of the tyre changer and support the opposite side of the wheel with a suitable piece of timber.

TYRE REMOVAL

Lubricate both tyre beads with an approved rubber lubricant.
Place the wheel centrally onto the stand with the narrow bead seat uppermost, slide the two rim clamping jaws, so that they locate on the rim of the wheel and insert 8mm locking pins. Use the crank arm to wind in the adjustable jaw until the wheel is securely fixed.NOTE: The tyre may require lifting slightly to locate the jaws on the rim, take care not to trap the tyre in the jaws.NOTE: Figs 9 & 10 are shown without tyre to demonstrate the clamping mechanism.
Insert the appropriate centre post through the centre of the wheel into the tyre changer (fig.10).
NOTE: When changing tyres on bearing centre wheels use the centre post which matches the bearing size of the wheel. For hub-centre wheels, the large centre post is used.
Insert the ball end of the tyre bar beneath the top bead and press the opposite side of the bead down into the wheel well with the tyre bar against the centre post rotate the tool full circle (fig.11) until the bead is lifted above the rim. Remove inner tube (if fitted).
Lift the tyre up and repeat the procedure for the lower bead (fig.11).

Place the lower bead of the tyre over the wheel rim and using the flat end of the tyre bar place the ball end between the bead and the rim with the flat side of the tyre bar against the centre post and rotate the tool full circle (fig.13).
Fit a tube if appropriate and then seat the upper bead in the same manner.
Refit valve core, remove the wheel from the tyre changer and inflate to seat the beads. Adjust the tyre pressure to the manufacturer’s specifications. NOTE: If the tyre has been fitted with an inner tube take care not to trap the tube between the tyre and the wheel rim when bead seating.
