General safety instructions
• Never use the wheel changer unit for wheels of
larger diameter, wider, or heavier than those stipu-
lated in the technical specifications.
• The wheel support (D) and clamp support arm (E)
are only to be used to balance the wheel, not to
carry the load.
•
Only use the wheel trolley on flat surfaces, swept
clean of any debris.
• Never drive the unit over edges, rough surfaces,
corners, etc., as it can overturn when there is load
on it.
• Before maneuvering the unit, it is really important
to secure it by the locking mechanism (F) on the
nearest hole. Otherwise, the wheel trolley could
come apart while carrying the load and the wheel
could tip out.
• Always stand and operate the wheel trolley from
behind the wheel vertical support (D).
• Do not manipulate the wheel from in front of the
wheel support arm (E).
•
When refilling the oil reservoir, the unit must be
pumped fully apart before the refill screw (G) is re
-
moved. Otherwise, there is risk of excess pressure
which can cause the oil to be squirt out when the
refill screw is loosened.
•
Always clean the floor in case of a liquid spill to
avoid slippery surfaces.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using the wheel changer to remove a wheel
Position the vehicle on a suitable horizontal floor, appl
-
ying the break. Jack up the axle of the wheel to be
changed, with a suitable trolley jack, so that it is clear
of the floor. Secure it with axle stands.
1. Using the wheel changer, release the lowering pe-
dal (A) from the safety device (B) and then press
the lowering pedal down. Pump apart the wheel
changer with the pump lever (C).
2. Adjust the wheel support (D) so that the clamp su-
pport arm (E) is positioned over the wheel to be
handled.
3. Push the wheel changer under the wheel so that
the roller tables are positioned on either side of
the wheel and that the wheel sits up against the
vertical wheel support (D).
4. Check that the lowering pedal (A) is in its upper-
most position and locked by the safety device (B).
Then pump the unit together until the wheel and
unit cannot glide apart.
5. Lower the clamp support arm (E) behind the whe-
el and adjust it until the wheel is vertical and can
be moved approximately 5cm sideways, this will
allow the wheel to be rotated in the wheel changer
when re-locating the wheel studs. Lock the clamp
support arm in position by tightening adjustment
clamps (I and J).
NOTE!
• The clamp support arm (E) is used
to balance the wheel vertically on the
roller table.
• The angle of each wheel support can
be adjusted by the removal of the pin
(H) to accommodate different wheel
configurations.
WARNING! The wheel supports (D) and clamp support
arm (E) are only to be used to balance the wheel, not
to carry the load.
6. Lift the wheel by pumping the lever (C) and secure
the wheel changer in the lifting position with the
locking mechanism (F) once the wheel is positio-
ned onto the unit.
