1.3.3. Operating the tyre changer
This instruction manual only details the function of the machine; it does not replace professional training
and qualification of operating personnel.
WARNING!
All tyre changers have movable or adjustable controls. It is essential to ensure
that the operator always finds a working position where he can safely track
and view all work steps.
1.3.4. Clamping the wheel
WARNING!
When tightening the rim, make sure that the clamping jaws are correctly
positioned on the rim to prevent the wheel from falling down.
There are different types of truck rims (Fig. 8 E/1-E6) .
Use the four clamping jaws to select the appropriate clamp for the rim.

Place the tyre on the inside of the table for the mounting arm.

Move the table until just before the clamping jaws.

Lower the clamping head to the centre of the rim.

Open the clamping jaws until they are smaller than the diameter of the mounting hole.

Slide the tyre over the clamping jaws and open until the tyre is secure.

Check that the rims sit correctly in all four jaws and that the tyre turns smoothly, otherwise it is not
possible to assemble.
