The force multiplier is used to help the operator to keep the polymer head down and
fully seated when levering the upper bead during demounting of low-profile, stiff
sidewall tires. The force multiplier may also be used to push the sidewall down in
order to enable the mounting head to be hooked on to the edge of the wheel.
Position the polymer head against the wheel edge in preparation for demounting. If
head is not fully seated, check for correct positioning of articulating arm and then
grasp force multiplier handle and pull down until the demount nose area of the
polymer head is fully seated.
