Spacing

The  location  to  install  the  machine  should  be  in 
accordance with safety regulations: 

The machine should be installed in a place close 
to  the  main  power  source  and  compressed  air 
system. 

Install  the  machine  on  smooth  concrete  surface 
or  another surface  with hard flooring.    4 anchor 
bolts  can  be  used  to  fasten  the  machine  to  the 
floor to avoid vibration and noise. 

Leave  enough  space  for  the  operation  and 
maintenance of the machine.    The space should 
be no less than 1M (39”) in front and on the two 
sides of the machine, 0.5M (20’) behind it so that 
operation on different parts shall not be hindered.   

If  the  machine  has  to  be  installed  outdoors,  a 
protective shelter should be built.     

Never  operate  the  machine  in  a  place  with 
flammable gas

.

Note: 
For safety and proper operation, keep the machine at 
least 0.5M (20”)away from any wall. 

Power and Air Connections

Before  installation,  check  to  verify  that  the 
electrical power and the compressed air sources 
are  in  accordance  with  the  specifications  on  the 
nameplate.    Any electrical connection should be 
done by the specially trained technician.   

The power outlet should be at a place within the 
sight  of  the  operator.    The  height  should  be 
between 24”

67”. 

In  case  the  line  voltage  is  not  stable,  a  voltage 
stabilizer  should  be  used  between  power source 
and the machine. 

The machine should be well grounded.

The  tire  changer  is  not  equipped  with  overload 

protection.    Please  connect  power  according  to  the 
electric  diagram  included  in  the  User’s  manual.   
Otherwise, the manufacturer will not be responsible for 
any accidents.   
 
 
 
 
 

Adjusting

Note:   

Make  sure  that  the  power,  air  sources  and  the  oil 
level  in  the  oil  cup  are  in  accordance  with  the 
requirements. 

Initial Operation (Fig.05) 

Note:  The  three  pedals  should  be  on  the  initial 
position. 

Fig.05 

Depress  pedal  (J),  turntable  (F)  will  rotate 
clockwise; 

Lift  the  pedal  (J),  turntable  (F)  will  rotate 
counter-clockwise;   

Depress  pedal  (I)  to  move  bead  breaker  (S), 
release it to restore; 

Depress pedal (H), clamp jaw slides (E) on the 
turntable  will  open.  Depress  it  again,  the  jaw 
slides will close; 

Rotate  the  stop  screw  knob  (K)  to  position  the 
swing arm; 

Press  the  Hexagonal  bar  (C)  and  move  the 
Hexagonal  bar  locking  handle(B)  to  lock  the 
Hexagonal bar; 

Loosen  the  Hexagonal  column  locking  handle 
(B) and the Hexagonal column

 

will reset. 

When the Inflation pedal U

Fig.01-1

  is lightly 

pressed,  air  will  expel  from  the  air  hose 
connected with the inflation gauge (mounted on 
tool  box).  When  the  pedal  is  pressed  down  to 
the  lowest  position,  air  will  quickly  blast  behind 
four jaws (the end of the slides).
