Mounting of a 5-segments Multipiece Wheel
1) Place the tool arm in the "out of service" position. If the rim
has been removed from the chuck, it must be clamped again,
as described in the section "CLAMPING THE WHEEL". Note: If
the wheel has an inner tube, the rim must be arranged in such
a way that the opening for the valve is at the very bottom (in the
6 o'clock position).
2) Lubricate the tyre beads and the rim with the soap solution.
Move the mobile control unit to working position B.
3) Move the mobile platform outward so that you can put the
tyre on it.
4) Lift or lower the chuck to align it with the center of the rim and
tyre.
5) Move the platform inwards to insert the rim into the tyre.
Continue until the rim is fully inside the tyre.
6) Place the split ring on the rim (with the locking ring already
installed). Note: If the rim and the split have locking notches,
these must be aligned.
Move the mobile control unit to working position C.
7) Place the tool arm on the outside position and then lower it
into the working position, while the disk is turned towards the
wheel. Note: If the split ring is not sufficiently retracted into the
rim, move the chuck until the split ring is at the height of the disk.
Move forward with the disc (and at the same time rotate the
chuck) until the seat of the O-ring is exposed.
8) Lubricate the O-ring and place it in its intake.
Move the mobile control unit to working position B.
9) Place the tool arm on the frontside of the wheel and then
lower it into the working position, with the disk in the direction of
the wheel. Note: If the split ring is not sufficiently retracted into
the rim, move the chuck until the split ring is at the height of the
disk. Press forward with the disc (rotate the chuck at the same
time) until the seat of the O-ring is exposed.
WARNING! This process can be very dangerous! Do this by
hand only if you are absolutely sure that you can keep the
wheel in balance. For heavy and particularly large wheels it
is essential to use suitable lifting equipment.
10) Move the platform to release the wheel from the chuck.
11) Move away the wheel.
