8 Clamp the tire securely. Remember, clamp pressure changes as the weight shifts between
the clamps. When the tire is vertical, the fallback arms, a safety device in case of operator
error, will prevent the tire from falling into the space between the clamp and the body. Make
sure the fallback arms are engaged when the tire is in the vertical position.

9 To reinstall a tire, maneuver the forklift or loader so that the tirehand can be used to position
the tire back onto the carrier vehicle. Raise the loader or forklift so the tire is elevated
correctly. When the tire is in position and secured properly per the tire, rim and vehicle
manufacturer recommendations, release the tirehand clamps.
Tirehand Operating Restrictions
The Tirehand is intended to be a tire lifting and positioning device. There are possible
misapplications of this machine that can cause serious damage to the Tirehand rotation gears. It
is possible to break the teeth on the Tirehand rotation bearing by applying forces while attempting
to break tire beads with one arm of the Tirehand, or by slinging a load under one arm of the
Tirehand. Use of a single Tirehand arm for lifting or carrying a load will void the tire hand
warranty.
NEVER sling a load using one
arm of the Tirehand.
