- Turn wheel on tire mounting device so that tire valve/tire pressure sensor - 2 - stands in front of mounting head - 1 -.







Mounting head - 1 - must not be located in area - a - of tire valve/tire pressure sensor, otherwise the mounting head will damage the tire pressure sensor.

- Position mounting head - 1 - in vicinity of tire valve/tire pressure sensor so that tire iron can be put on approximately 30° next to tire valve/tire pressure sensor - 2 -.

- Install the holders - 3 - on the wheel rim opposite the mounting head - 1 -.

- Now pry tire bead over mounting finger on mounting head using tire iron and remove tire iron again.

- Let tire mounting device run clockwise until upper bead lies completely above the rim flange.






This slides the press holders - 1 - against the mounting head. This allows them to be removed again easily.
