Function of the help arm
A pneumatic auxiliary arm for tire machines is
indispensable when mounting / dismounting
low-profile tires and puncture-proof tires and at
times when it is difficult to disassemble / mount
an empty tire, then assistance from the help arm
may be required. Drain the air from the tire and
release the clamp. The rim can easily be damaged
by the strong forces that arise if you use the help
arm, therefore use protection on the clamping
jaws. Depress the foot pedal so that the clamping
jaws open and thus lock the rim from the inside
of the rim edge. Press down the clincher with the
help arm to facilitate lubrication with tire mounting
paste along the entire tire bead.
Inflate the tire
Check that the tire is in good condition and make
sure that there is no damage before starting pum -
ping. Install the valve core if removed. Keep your
hands and body as far away from the tire as pos -
sible. Inflate the tire with short inflations, while
checking the tire pressure. Do not inflate the tire
with lower or higher air pressure than
recommended by the tire manufacturer. To inflate
the tire, connect the air filler nozzle to the tire valve
stem. Make sure that the air filler nozzle is
completely depressed over the threads of the valve
stem. When the air filler nozzle is in place, lock it to
the valve stem by releasing the locking device. As
soon as the tire has reached the correct tire
pressure, loosen the air filler nozzle from the valve
stem and screw on the valve cap.
WARNING! A tire that explodes can cause serious
personal and serious injury of the person inflating
the tire. Do not underestimate the danger.
Storage
If the machine is not to be used for a long time, it
must be disconnected from the mains voltage and
the compressor. Lubricate all parts that can rust.
Drain the oil and drain the water filter. Hang over a
large plastic bag to protect from dust.
Maintenance
WARNING! Always disconnect the machine from
the electrical connection and compressed air
connection before service or maintenance. Pump
the foot pedal several times to empty the
machine of all air. Before each use, inspect the
general condition of the machine. Check that
there are no loose screws and bolts, parts that are
incorrectly aligned, moving parts such as notches,
damaged parts, loose and damaged compressed
air hoses / electrical cables or other things that can
affect safe use. If abnormal noises or vibrations
occur, disconnect the machine from electricity or
compressed air connection and make sure the
problem is resolved before using the machine
again. Do not use equipment that is damaged!
At least once a week, the table should be cleaned
with detergent or a non-flammable solvent. In
addition, the guide grooves of the jaws and
clamping jaws must be greased. Empty the water
separator (D) every day. At least once a month,
check the oil level in the pressure regulator’s mist
lubrication tank (F).
If necessary, unscrew the container and top up with
mist oil and screw back the oil container. Check
that a small amount (a drop) of mist oil is injected
every 3-4 times as the foot pedal is depressed. If
necessary, adjust the amount of oil injected using
the oil lubricator adjusting screw (E). After a few
weeks of using the machine, retighten all bolt and
screw connections, especially those that hold the
clamping jaws on the underside of the table (B), as
well as those that hold the tower to the bottom of
the machine.
