Anchoring the Tire Changer
The Tire Changer has holes for anchoring it into place; anchoring is optional.
Note
:
You are not required to anchor your Tire Changer. BendPak Ranger recommends doing
so, as the Tire Changer uses force at various times during the changing of a Tire.
Anchoring it ensures it will not move during operation.
The
.
5 in / 12.7 mm holes for anchoring are located in the four corners of the Tire Changer base.
The Anchor Bolts (sometimes called Wedge Anchors) mentioned in the following procedure are
not
supplied with the Tire Changer. You could, for example, use 3/8 in diameter by 3 in long Anchor Bolts
to secure the Tire Changer, drilling the hole approximately 2.5 in / 63.5 mm into the Concrete.
To anchor the Tire Changer
:
1.
Make sure the Tire Changer is in the desired location.
2.
Using the holes in the base as guides, drill a 2.5 in / 63.5 mm deep hole for each Anchor Bolt.
Use a drill bit that is the same diameter as the Anchor Bolt. So if you are using an 3/8 in diameter
Anchor Bolt, for example, use a 3/8 in diameter drill bit.
Go in straight; do not let the drill wobble. Use a carbide-tied drill bit (conforming to ANSI B212.15).
