The duck-head mount\/demount design uses an angle and material chosen so the tire is not damaged during changes, and the threaded spindle with a quick-release locking collar holds the wheel firmly on the turntable while you work the bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChanging a tire or two a month, this machine pays for itself against two shop visits.

Keep both hands on the bar, stand to the side of its travel — never over it — and let the tension release gradually as the bead breaks free. Take a slow first tire to learn how the bar behaves before working at speed. If a manual changer isn't the right fit for you, call us at (307) 381-1810 and we'll help you choose or arrange a return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDocuments\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManual and technical documents available on request — contact \u003ca href=\"mailto:sales@mygaragesupplies.com\"\u003esales@mygaragesupplies.com\u003c\/a\u003e or call \u003ca href=\"tel:+13073811810\"\u003e307-381-1810\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Katool","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53573651366182,"sku":"KT-2002","price":448.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/8084\/2022\/files\/katool-kt-2002-multi-manual-tire-changer-machine-hero.jpg?v=1785866217","url":"https:\/\/forgelinesupplyco.com\/products\/katool-kt-2002-manual-tire-changer-machine-12-22-in-tires","provider":"Forgeline Supply Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
