1.3 Operation
1.3.1 Review of the different functions
Before using the tyre changer, control and check all functions with the operating part to ensure the
machine is working properly. This should be done before each mounting process.
WARNING!
When operating the tyre changer, pay attention to all moving parts. Make
sure there is enough safety clearance so that the moving parts do not contact
you. Make sure there are no other people in the work area.
WARNING!
Always keep enough safety clearance when loosening the mounting arm so
that it does not tilt outwards under tension.
WARNING!
Ensure that there are no persons or objects in the working area of the
machine.
WARNING!
When closing the chuck, the process must be stopped immediately when the
minimum position is reached.
When tightening the rim, stop immediately when the maximum pressure is
reached. For aluminium rims, check the clamping pressure and set it lower if
required.
Failure to comply with this instruction may result in serious damage to the
tyre changer.
1.3.2 Precautions during tyre mounting
Before mounting the tyre, the following precautions must be observed:
 Only mount undamaged, clean, dry rims and tyres that are in good condition.
 Remove old balance weights.
 Check rim and tyre for damage, especially aluminium rims. Do not mount if damaged.
 Check that the rim and tyre size match.
 Before dismantling, let all air out of the tyre.
 Before mounting, coat the rim and tyre well with tyre lubricant to avoid damage.
 Always use a new valve.
 The tyre changer is not splash-proof, so do not clean wheels on the machine with water jets.
