Swing or fold mounting pillar into position and let it engage.
Adjust mounting head, pressing it on the rim edge fully, and turn
down the lever for the clamp; normally the distance of the
mounting head will set in automatically.
The valve must be approx. 15 cm to the right of the assembly
head so as to prevent the tyre iron from damaging the RDC wheel
electronics.
Raise tyre bead with tyre iron over mounting finger.
Note:
On aluminum rims, it is best to use a tyre iron coated (either
fully or partially) with shrink-on plastic tubing to prevent
damage.
Let fitting machine run back a short distance (counterclockwise)
so that tyre bead can slide fully onto mounting finger.
Then let fitting machine run forward in stages (clockwise).
In so doing, always check whether the lower bead is fully resting in
the well and allow the tyre time to move.
If the bead clamps, stop the machine and let it run back slightly.
If the upper bead is pulled off the rim, also lift the bottom bead
over the mounting finger with the tyre iron.
Let machine run back a short distance again and then forward
(clockwise) briefly until there is complete separation of the tyre
from the rim.
Important!
Vehicles with RDC:
Tyre bead must not press onto RDC wheel electronics.
