Principal Operating Parts Know Your Unit Compare this illustration with the unit before placing it into service. Maximum performance and safety will be obtained only when all persons using the unit are fully trained in its parts and operation. Each user should learn the function and location of all controls. Prevent accidents and injuries by ensuring the unit is properly installed, operated, and maintained. 17 11 2 ✓ Do It Now Now is a good time to fill out the Owner's Registry Card.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The unit must be properly operated and properly maintained to help avoid accidents that could damage the unit and injure the operator or bystanders. This section of the Operating Instructions manual review basic operations and use of controls. These instructions should be reviewed with all employees before they are allowed to work with the machine. Keep these instructions near the machine for easy reference.
5. Determine the mounting side of the wheel. The mounting side is the narrow side of the drop center. (Tire removed in Figure 4 for clarity.) 8. The mount/demount head roller should be in contact with the rim edge. Turn the swing arm adjusting knob to move the roller away from the rim 1/8 to 1/4 inch. Narrow Side Drop Center Long Side Figure 4 - Determining Mounting Side of Wheel 6. Place tire/wheel assembly on table top with mounting side up (Figure 5).
14. Depress the table top pedal to rotate the wheel. The demount tool will guide the bead up and over the edge of the wheel. Continue rotation until lower bead is demounted. NOTE: With tube-type tires, demount the upper bead and remove the tube before demounting the lower bead. NOTE: Table top rotation can be stopped at any time by removing your foot from the pedal. Figure 9 - Insert Bead Lifting Tool 11.
MOUNTING This information must be read and followed carefully to prevent accidents and injuries during mounting. Check tire and wheel carefully before mounting. Make sure the tire bead diameter and wheel diameter match exactly. Consult the Rubber Manufacturer's Association for approved rim widths for tire sizes. Mis-matched tires and wheels explode. 4. Place tire over wheel and move swing arm into position.
INFLATION Tire inflation is performed in three steps: Bead Seal, Bead Seat, and Inflation. These steps are explained in detail on page 13. Read the explanation of each step and understand them thoroughly before proceeding. Check for proper inflation gauge operation. Accurate pressure readings are important to safe tire inflation. Refer to the Operating Maintenance section of this manual for instructions.
2. Depress the inflation pedal to position 2 and hold about 1 second to begin air flow, then depress pedal to position 3 and hold very briefly – less than 1 full second. The blast of air from the jets will expand the tire and seal the beads. 3. Remove your foot from the inflation pedal and allow it to return to position 1. Verify that both beads are completely sealed to the wheel. Repeat these steps if beads have not sealed.
B. Clamp wheel from the outside. Position rim edge into clamp at 12 o'clock position. Lower the wheel and depress the clamp control pedal. Slowly move the clamps inward until they securely contact the outside edge of the rim. Manual Release Valve TIP: This is usually accomplished by crouching down in front of the tire changer, holding the wheel with the right hand, and operating the clamp control pedal with the left hand.
NOTE: Some wheels have a low pressure sensor/transmitter strapped to the wheel. This is especially true on run-flat tire/wheel systems. The sensor is positioned directly opposite from the valve stem. To avoid damaging the sensor, always loosen the top bead at the valve stem first, then loosen the bottom bead at the valve stem, and then continue to loosen the remaining circumference of the beads as necessary (Figure 20).
Figure 29 - Mount Lower Bead, Use Lifting Tool Figure 26 - Pull Lifting Tool Down and Rotate Wheel 10. The lifting tool can usually be removed after jogging the wheel a short distance. Continue to jog the wheel to allow tire to flex where it crosses the rim edge. Continue short rotations until top bead is completely demounted. 3. Position the valve stem directly across from the mount/demount tool for top bead mounting. Lift the top bead over the rear of the mount head.
Wheels with Low Pressure Warning System Sensors Performance wheels on some vehicles (including Corvette, BMW, Lamborghini Diablo) have a pressure sensor strapped to the rim opposite the valve hole. On these wheels, the beads should be loosened at the valve hole on both upper and lower sides first. Valve Hole Transmitter Figure 32 - Use Hooked End of Bead Lifting Tool Mounting Strap 6. After beads are mounted, unclamp wheel, lift it slightly, and move the clamps to the center of the table top.
STAGES OF INFLATION Review these descriptions and diagrams carefully. Refer to them as necessary during bead sealing, bead seating, and inflation to verify that you are proceeding properly and safely. Bead Sealing A 140 PSI air blast from the table jets creates an air curtain to aid in bead sealing. Never exceed 10 PSI in the tire during bead sealing. The tire will contain about 2 PSI when bead seal is obtained. Requires rubber lubricant on both upper and lower beads.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Read and follow all the maintenance instructions provided in this manual to keep the machine in good operating condition. Refer to the other materials received with the unit and to the service bulletins from the manufacturer for additional instructions on proper maintenance and service. Regular inspections and proper maintenance are essential to preventing accidents and injuries.
Separator/Lubricator Maintenance Check oil and water levels regularly, and perform these maintenance items weekly: A. Disconnect air supply to machine. B. Drain water from the separator by unscrewing the petcock on the bottom of bowl. Allow water to drain and tighten petcock securely by hand. C. Add oil to the lubricator if the fluid level is more than 1/4" from the top of the gauge.
