When you are working with the rims of the same size, it is not necessary always to
lock and unlock the hex bar. Just tilt and restore the vertical arm with the horizontal
arm and mounting arm locked.
Move the tire so that the bead passes below the front section of the mounting head
and is brought up against the edge of the rear section of the mounting head itself.
Keep the tire bead pressed down into the wheel rim channel with your hands, press
down on the pedal (1) to rotate the turntable clockwise. Continue until you have
covered the whole circumference to the wheel rim; insert the inner tube (if there is
one).
Repeat the same operations to mount the upper side of the tire.
WARNING: dismounting and mounting are always done with the clockwise turntable
rotation. Anticlockwise rotation is used only to correct operator's errors or if the
turntable stalls.
8. Inflation
The greatest attention is called for when inflating the tires. Keep strictly to the
following instructions since the tire changer is not designed and built to protect the
user (or anyone else in the vicinity of the machine) if the tire burstsaccidentally.
A burst tire can cause serious injury or even death of the operator.
Check carefully that the wheel rim and the tire are of the same size.
Check the state of wear of the tire and that it has no defects before beginning the
installation stage.
Inflate the tire with brief jets of air, checking the pressure after every jet.
Maximum inflating pressure is 0.8MPa.i n any
case never exceed the pressure recommended
by the manufacturer.
Keep your hands and body as far away as
possible from the tire.
