Operating Instructions

Determine the tire size being serviced and set the jaw clamps (see Fig. 2) accordingly.
Put the pins in matching holes on the two arms with the free-moving jaw clamps. Slide the jaw clamps against the pins.

For best results, have the longer area of the rim facing down for the jaw clamps. (See Fig. 3)
Most the time the valve stem will be up and accessible. If not, mount the tire and later flip it over to connect an air hose to the valve stem for adding air.

Adjust the moveable jaw clamp using the threaded rod assembly (see Fig. 4) so the tire flange clears each of the jaws. Ideally the rim should be centered over the center hole on the Tire Changer.

Before tightening the rim, determine the largest center post to fit in the wheel hole (see Fig. 5).
Each post has two sizes.

Lubricate the tire and entire rim flange area around the tire before mounting or dismounting the tire (see yellow arrow in Fig. 5). Be sure to use lubricant intended for tire and rim.
Make sure to secure the edge of the rim and tighten the adjusting clamp to secure the wheel.

Make sure the tire bead is in the “drop center” of the rim for this process. Press and hold with one hand while prying the Mongoose Tire Tool around the center post.

Demount deflated tire using the “rod end” of the Mongoose Tire Tool (see Fig. 7). The ballend is pushed under the top bead and rested on the rim as illustrated. While holding the Mongoose Tool against the center post with one hand, and lifting up on the tire with the other, rotate the tool full circle. Demount the bottom bead the same way.

Vary the angle of the Mongoose Tire Tool against the center post can achieve better results for each user based on the different rim or tire sizes and the shapes of each.
Mounting the tire uses the “flat-end” of the Mongoose Tire Tool (see Fig. 8). While applying pressure to the low side of the tire (always facing the operator) place the ballend between rim and bead. With the flat side against the center post rotate the tool full circle for both bottom and top beads.
Remember to use lubrication on the rim and tire bead.
Optional Demount Tool (PN 12489)
To protect chrome or aluminum rims from tool scrapes use this handy plastic accessory with the regular size Mongoose Tire Tool or the the Mini Mongoose Tire Tool.
Hold the Demount tab on the Mongoose Tire Tool. Push down and into the tire flange/bead area (see Fig. 9).

Insert the Demount tab into the rim flange area (see Fig. 10). With your other hand guide the tire beads into the “drop center” of the rim opposite the side where you’ve placed the Mongoose Tire Tool and demount tab.
USE LUBRICANT AND BE CAREFUL TO AVOID PINCHING FINGERS

Pry up on the Mongoose Tire Tool and demount tab in an arced motion so they rest on the rim as shown in Fig. 11. With the tool against the center post rotate them in a circular motion around the post until the tire is free from the rim.
Do this for both tire beads until the tire is completely demounted.

Optional Mount Tool (PN 12488)
Fig. 12 shows optional PN 12488 Mount tab with the Mongoose Tire Tool. Place the tire over the rim and plunge the two tools over the edge of the rim (see Fig. 13). Use the Mongoose Tire Tool to pry against the center post in a circular motion to mount the tire.

Repeat for both sides of the tire. Upon mounting the tire wipe off the lubricant and clean the tools and tire.
Loosen the Handle and Threaded Rod Assembly to remove the tire.
