Tilt-Back Tower
The Tilt-Back Tower holds the main Tire Changer tool, the Mount/Demount Head. It tilts back out of
the way when you do not need it.
Side view. Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown.
The main parts of the Tilt-Back Tower are:
•
Mount/Demount Head
. Attaches at the Bottom of the Shaft. The entire purpose of the Tilt-
Back Tower is to get the Mount/Demount Head to where you need it and get it out of the way
when you do not need it.
•
Shaft
. Moves the Mount/Demount Head up and down.
•
Slide
. Moves the Mount/Demount Head, the Shaft, and the Adjustment Handle in and out.
•
Control Button
. When pressed on the outside, locks the Shaft and Slide at their current
positions. When pressed on the inside, unlocks the Shaft and Slide.
•
Adjustment Handle
. Moves the Slide in and out.
•
Shaft Cap
. Moves the Mount/Demount Head down.
Do not grab the Shaft Spring or the part of the Shaft just above the Mount/Demount Head; they
are not good options for controlling the Shaft height.
•
Shaft Spring
. Automatically moves the Shaft back up when you unlock the Shaft using the
Control Button.
•
Tilt-Back Tower
. Tilts backwards and forwards. Controlled by the Tilt-Back Foot Pedal.
Press down and release the Tilt-Back Foot Pedal to move the Tilt-Back Tower back (if it is forward)
or forward (if it is back). Using the Tilt-Back Foot Pedal always moves the Tilt-Back Tower to the
opposite position.
