2. When pushing off the tire, ensure that the bead press-off tool is set to the exact inch graduation. If this is not the case, the rim flange may be damaged by the press-off rollers.

3. The wheel must be turned anti-clockwise when pressing the tire off the rim. Otherwise, excessive forces occur on the fastening bolts of the machine which can lead to bolt breakage. The tire beads can be pressed off at the same time or individually.

4. Before removing the tire, coat the tire beads with mounting paste to facilitate removal.

Note. The mounting lever must be kept at a safe distance from the rim. This prevents damage (scratches, pressure marks) to the rim spokes.

  1. In the case of vehicles with RDK, for the upper tire bead the mounting head must be positioned about 15 cm behind the valve in order to prevent damage to the wheel electronics.
  1. In the case of vehicles with RDK, for the lower tire bead the mounting head must be positioned about 5 cm behind the valve.

5. Put the assembly head on the rim flange. Position the assembly aid. The mounting lever is pushed into the deep bed underneath the first tire bead, and then guided over the assembly shoe and pushed down.

6. Lift the tire bead out of the rim bed by turning the wheel to the right.

7. Position the assembly aid for the second tire bead approximately 5 - 10 cm to the right of the valve. Pull the tire upwards and push it into the rim bed underneath the second tire bead using the mounting lever. Make sure that the mounting lever is guided correctly (see Item 5). Turn the wheel to the right and remove the tire.

CAUTIONHigh tire seating pressure. (Max. 4 bar! This value must not be exceeded.) Personal injury may occur in the event of tire or wheel damage (due to the coincidence of several unfavorable factors).

> The tire must therefore be filled in the filling cage.

Note. Check the mounting head adjustment (must correspond with rim size).

  1. The mounting machine must be modified for 20-inch tires. Information on this subject should be taken from the Workshop Equipment Manual.
  1. The wheel electronics must not be treated with compressed air, mounting paste, cleaning agents or any other solvents.
  1. Rims must not be cleaned with high pressure before tires have been fitted.
  1. Do not scratch filter surface of wheel electronics clear! Remove soiling with a lint-free cloth.

1. Free the wheel from the abraded rubber particles and check for damage.

2. A new valve must always be fitted.

3. Coat the wheel and tire with tire mounting paste - TIP TOP Universal, order No. 593 0601 - or Contifix.

4. Place the tire in the correct position on the wheel. Push in mounting arm and position on top of the rim flange. The assembly head must be offset from valve by 180°.

5. Push the first part of tire bead (lower tire bead) partly over rim flange. Adjust mounting head on rim flange and pull lower tire bead onto the rim.

Note. During fitting, ensure that the tire bead is not pressed against the wheel electronics.

6. Position mounting head approx. 15 cm to the right of valve and pull the second tire bead (upper tire bead) onto rim.

7. Remove entire wheel from tire fitting unit. Without valve insert, fill tire with air in the tire filling cage until tire beads slide over hump (to a maximum of 4.0 bar).

8. Screw in new valve insert and fill tire to specified tire pressure. Screw on valve cap.
