MOUNTING
Tubeless tires can be mounted using either the bead loosener disk or the hook tool. If the tire is not problematic, use the bead loosener
disk. If the tire is very rigid, the hook tool must be used.
TIRE MOUNTING WITH DISK
Follow these steps:
1) If the rim has been removed from the spindle, put it back on the spindle as described in the section on “RIM CLAMPInG”.
2) Lubricate both beads and the rim with tire manufacturer recommended lubricant.
3) Attach the g-clamp to the outside edge of the rim at the highest point (See Fig. M).
CAUTION!
Make sure the g-clamp is firmly attached to the rim.
Take the mobile control unit to work position B.
4) Put the tire on the platform and lower the spindle (make sure the g-clamp is at the high point).
5) Lift the rim with the tire hooked to it and turn it counterclockwise about 6-8 inches (15-20 cm). The tire will be positioned inclined
across the rim.

6) Position the bead loosener disk against the second bead of the tire and turn the spindle until the g-clamp is at the low point (at 6
o’clock).
7) Move the disk away from the tire assembly.
8) Remove the g-clamp and replace it at 6 o’clock outside the second bead (See Fig. N).
9) Turn the spindle clockwise 90° to bring the g-clam to 9 o’clock.
10) Move the disk forward until it is about 0.5-1 inch (1-2 cm) inside the edge of the rim. Begin to turn the spindle clockwise, checking to
make sure that, with a 90° turn, the second bead begins to slip into the drop center.
11) When the bead is fully mounted, move the tool away from the tire assembly, tip it to its non-working position and remove the g-
clamp.
12) Position the ramp under the tire assembly, lower the spindle until the tire rests on the ramp.
Take the mobile control unit to work position C.
13) Close the arms of the spindle completely. Support the tire assembly to prevent it falling off.
DANGER!
Potentially hazardous operation!
Do it manually only if you are certain you can keep the tire assembly balanced. For large and heavy
tires
Take the mobile control unit to work position B.
