1.7 Wheel Clamping Pedal
The wheel clamping pedal has three positions (modes of operation): up
(expand), neutral (stop), and down (retract).
With the clamps in the fully retracted position or clamped against the
outside of a rim, step down fully on the pedal to expand the wheel clamps
(
clamps move outward
). The clamps continue to expand until contacting
the rim or until fully expanded.
While the clamps are expanding, partially stepping down on the pedal will
stop the clamps
. The pedal can also be placed in the stopped position
with the clamps in the fully expanded position. From this stopped position,
additional partial steps on the pedal will incrementally retract clamps.
With the clamps in the fully expanded position or clamped against the
inside of a rim, step down partially on the pedal to retract the wheel clamps
(
clamps move inward
). To completely retract the clamps, step down fully
on the pedal and the clamps will move completely inward.
Change the position of pedal by briefly stepping down and then releasing.
1.8 Column Rotation Pedal
The column rotation pedal operates the automatic column.
WARNING: Before activating automatic column, make sure the path
of the column is clear of people and other obstructions.
The column tilt pedal has two positions.
With the pedal up, the column rotates toward the operator.
With the pedal down, the column rotates away from the operator.
1.9 Air Inflation Pedal
On the left side of the base, the air inflation pedal operates the two-stage air inflation
system.
Refer to illustration on page 6.
The pedal controls the air going to the
inflation hose and the air inflation jets.
WARNING: Do not lean or reach over tire when inflating.
CAUTION:
Keep hands clear of wheel during sealing and seating of
beads.
When operating air inflator, stand to the left side of the base. Do not stand in front of
the tire changer while operating the air inflator.
Step down partially on the pedal to inflate tires through inflation hose.
Step down completely on the pedal to activate the air inflator jets to seal
tire beads.
