R745 Swing-Arm Tire Changer
23
P/N 5900171 — Rev. C — Dec. 2019
•
The Tire Changer may work differently than other Tire Changers you have used. BendPak Ranger
recommends that Operators practice on multiple non-customer Tires to get familiar with how the
product works
before
starting work on customer Tires.
•
Keep the work area clean and well lit. Dirty, cluttered, and dark work areas increase the chances of
an accident happening.
•
Do not access the inside of the unit unless instructed to do so by BendPak Ranger Support.
⚠
WARNING
Be especially careful when inflating Tires. This is a dangerous time when using a
Tire Changer. If the Tire and Wheel are mismatched or there is a defect in the Tire, it
could explode, injuring or killing the Operator or bystanders.
Do not lean over
the Tire when inflating a Tire
. Move away from the Tire during inflation.
•
Do not use the Tire Changer in a wet environment or expose it to rain or excess moisture.
•
If you need to use an extension cord to get power to the unit, use one with a current rating equal
to or greater than that of the Tire Changer. Cords rated for less current than the Tire Changer
could overheat. If used, arrange the extension cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled out.
•
Do not use anything flammable on the Beads or Rims as lubrication; instead, use non-flammable
vegetable or soap-based rubber lubricant.
•
Do not use the Tire Changer in the vicinity of open containers of flammable liquids.
•
Clean the unit according to the instructions in
•
Read the
entire
Installation and Operation Manual
before
using the Tire Changer.
•
Make a visual inspection of the Tire Changer
before each use
. Do not operate the Tire Changer
if you find any issues. Instead, take it out of service, then contact your dealer, visit
, or call Bendpak Ranger at
(805) 933-9970
.
•
Always identify and correctly match the Tire and Rim diameters of the Tires you are mounting;
they must match exactly
. If they do not match exactly, this is called a tire mismatch. The
result of a mismatch is that the Tire could literally explode off the Wheel when you inflate it or while
the Vehicle is being driven. In both cases, people could be injured or killed.
The phrase “tire mismatch” is also used to mean Tires on a single vehicle with different tread
patterns or from different manufacturers. This is not what we are talking about here.
More information is available in OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.177 (Servicing Multi-Piece and
Single Piece Rim Wheels).
All Operators should study this document prior to servicing
any Tires
