Let fitting machine run back a short distance (counterclockwise) so that tire 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 tire 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 tire iron.
Let machine run back a short distance again and then forward (clockwise) briefly until there is complete separation of the tire from the rim.
