P/N 5900260 — Rev. A1 — Dec. 2020
Unpacking
Dannmar recommends unpacking the Tire Changer as close as possible to its permanent location. The
less you have to move things around, the smoother your unpacking and installing effort will be.
Note
: Many of the Tire Changer components have been greased to protect them during shipping.
Dannmar recommends having some rags nearby when unpacking, as you will almost
certainly get grease on your gloves. You should clean the grease off of the Turntable, the
Mount/Demount Head, and the Shaft Lock Handle, as keeping them greased would hinder
normal operation of the unit. You can keep the Shaft and the Swing Control knob greased.
Use caution when taking the Tire Changer out of its shipping container
. You do not
want to damage the unit, misplace any of the components, or hurt anyone.
To unpack the Tire Changer
:
Make sure you are wearing OSHA-approved (publication 3151) Personal Protective Equipment:
leather gloves, steel-toed work boots, back belts, hearing protection, and ANSI-approved eye
protection (safety glasses, face shield, or goggles).
At the bottom of the Cover, push the metal tabs all the way down, on all four sides.
You may have to apply some force to get all of the metal tabs free; they sometimes stick.
Lift the Cover off.
⚠
CAUTION
Dannmar recommends having at least two people lift the Cover off, it is heavy and
awkward. If the cover is dropped, it could cause injury or equipment damage.
Remove the plastic wrap around the Tire Changer and other components.
Moving the Tire Changer to its Permanent Location
⚠
WARNING
Make sure to use an appropriate lifting device, such as a Forklift or Pallet Jack, to
move the Tire Changer while it is on its Pallet. Make sure only personnel who are
experienced with material handling procedures are allowed to move the Tire
Changer. The Tire Changer is heavy and the weight is not evenly distributed;
dropping or knocking over the unit may cause equipment damage or personal
injury. Dannmar recommends having at least two people work together to move the
Tire Changer.
To move the Tire Changer
