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 three .5 in / 12.7 mm holes for anchoring are located at:
•
Front right
•
Front left
•
Rear right (under
the Regulator/Filter)
Top view. Not to scale.
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. by 3 in. Anchor Bolts to secure the
Tire Changer, drilling the hole approximately 2.5 in / 63.5 mm deep into the Concrete.
To anchor the Tire Changer
:
1.
Make sure the Tire Changer is in the desired location.
2.
Using the holes as guides, drill the holes for the Anchor Bolts.
⚠
WARNING
You
must
wear OSHA-approved (publication 3151) Personal Protective Equipment
at all times when installing the Lift: leather gloves, steel-toed boots, eye protection,
back belts, and hearing protection are
mandatory
.
Go in straight; do not let the drill wobble. Use a carbide-tied drill bit (conforming to ANSI B212.15).
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.
