Depress the pedal J (Fig.12) to turn the turntable 
while keeping pressing on the tyre. When only 
10~15cm is left, slow down to avoid damage of the 
tyre bead.    Stop the motor if there is any indication 
for damage.    Lift the pedal J and turn the turntable 
counter-clockwise.    Try again when the tyre is back 

to the original shape. 

Note:

It is not necessary to move the handle of the 
screw every time if the size of rim matches the 
tyre.  Just move the swing arm.

In the process of operation, keep head and 

hands away from the area between the tyre and 
the swing arm to avoid injury.
 

Inflating tyre   

Danger!! 

Inflating can be highly dangerous.    Take precautions 

and pay close attention to the procedures.    Check if 
the compressed air is well connected before inflating. 

 
Inflating procedures are shown in Fig.19. The machine is 
equipped with a gauge to read the pressure in the tyre. 

z

 

Loose the wheel on the turntable. 

z

 

Connect the outlet of the gun to the air inflation 
valve. 

z

 

Slowly press the switch on the inflating gun for 
several times during inflation to make sure that the 
reading on pressure gauge meets the 

manufacturer’s specifications.  The pressure 
should not exceed 3.5 bar.

 

z

 

If the pressure exceeds the limit, press the button on 
the gun inflator so that the pressure goes down to 
what is required. 

Caution: Danger of explosion! 

The safety procedures should be closely followed.  

Review and abide by the following instructions.  
Otherwise serious injury or death can be resulted. 
The manufacturer shall not be held responsible for 
any possible accident when the safety procedures are 
not followed. 

‹

 

Carefully check the dimensions of rim and 
tyre to see if they match each other.    Check 
and make sure that the tyre is not worn or 
damaged before inflation. 

‹

 

When a high pressure is required, remove the 

tyre from the tyre changer and resume the 
inflation in a special protective hood. 

‹

 

Be careful when inflating the tyre. Keep 
hands and the rest of human body away from 
tyre
