Before You Change a Tire
⚠
DANGER
Do not use the Tire Changer unless you have been properly trained and have read
the entire
Installation and Operation Manual
. Tire changing must only be done by
trained, authorized, supervised personnel.
Failure to understand and follow
proper procedures will result in injury or death
.
Before you change a Tire, you should:
•
Remove existing weights
.
Check the Wheel to make sure that all existing clip-on and
adhesive weights have been removed.
•
Deflate the Tire
.
This is required.
You must fully deflate Tires before demounting
them
.
To make sure a Tire is
fully deflated
, remove the Valve Core from the Valve Stem and then wait for
all of the air to come out. You should use a Valve Core Tool for this procedure to prevent damage
to the core or stem.
•
Have Tire lubricant ready
.
Tire Lubricant makes the process of demounting and mounting
Tires much easier. If you do not use Tire Lubricant, you significantly increase the chances of
damaging the Wheel and the Tire. Tire Lubricant is not provided with the Tire Changer.
•
Check for damage
.
Especially with expensive Wheels, make sure to check them for any
damage
before
changing the Tire. Depending on the circumstances, if you find any damage you
might want to discuss that damage with the owner of the Vehicle and/or photograph the damage.
If you work in a shop, talk to your supervisor regarding shop policies in this area.
Additionally, damaged Wheels and Tires are dangerous to work with. If you are not sure whether a
Wheel or Tire is too damaged to service, talk to your supervisor.
•
Understand Custom Wheels
.
Before servicing performance Wheels, review the
•
Identify the Narrow Side/Drop Center of the Wheel
.
The rule is: the Narrow Side/Drop
Center side of the Wheel gets put onto the Tire Changer facing up. For most Wheels, this means
the side of the Wheel facing the
outside
of the Vehicle goes on top, because that’s where the
Narrow Side/Drop Center side is on most (but not all) Wheels.
The following drawing shows two Wheels and identifies the Narrow Side, Drop Center, and Wide
Side of each.
