RV1 Wheel Guardian™ Tire Changer

P/N 5900089 — Rev. A — March 2019
Lube the Post
The Tire Changer Post needs to be lubed so that both Tool Arms can easily slide up and down as
required.
The Tire Changer comes from the factory with a packet of petroleum jelly for lubing the Post. The
packet is located inside the Lube Bucket.
⚠
CAUTION
The petroleum jelly for lubing the Post is not a Tire Lube
. Do not use it
to lube Tires. Once the Post is lubricated with the petroleum jelly, do not lean on it
or touch it. When you run out of the provided petroleum jelly, you can replace it with
more petroleum jelly or Vaseline®.
Test the Tire Changer
Make sure the following items have been done before putting the Tire Changer prior to normal
operation:
•
Check for pneumatic (air) pressure
. The Tire Changer requires pneumatic energy to
perform many of its functions. You can press the Lock Button on the Tool Arm Handle to make
sure the Tire Changer is getting air; you will hear a whoosh of air when you press the button if it is
getting air. If it is not, check the air source.
•
Test the power source
. Other Tire Changer functions require electric power. Step on and hold
down the Rotation Foot Pedal to check for electric power. If the Turntable turns, you have electric
power.
•
Test the Laser
. Press the Laser On/Off button to see if the red laser dot appears on the
Turntable. If it does, the Laser is working.
•
Test the Tire Lift
. Step on and hold down the Up Foot Pedal. If the Tire Lift starts moving up,
then the Tire Lift is working. You do not need to have a Tire on the Tire Lift to test it.
•
Make sure there is Tire lubricant available
. Your shop probably has a brand of Tire lube
that it prefers. Make sure some is in the Lube Bucket on the Tire Changer. Always use Tire lube; it
just makes changing Tires easier, including helping to prevent damage to the Tire and the Wheel.
•
Make sure the Turntable turns
. Step on and hold down the Rotation Foot Pedal. If the
Turntable starts turning, then the Turntable is working.
•
Test both Tool Arms
. Use the Tool Arm Handle to move both Tool Arms in or out together.
Use the Upper and Lower Tool Arm Controls to move the Upper Tool Arm and Lower Tool Arm,
respectively, up and down separately.
•
Change some non-customer Tires
. Just to make sure you are used to all of the controls,
BendPak Ranger recommends changing some
non-customer Tires
before changing some
customer Tires.
