12. OPERATION
12.1 LOCKING THE WHEEL
WARNING!
In locking the wheel, make sure that clamps are properly positioned on the rim, so as to prevent the tyre
from falling.
1) Take the mobile control unit to work position B.
2)
Pull the tool-holder arm (
14, fig. D
) into the upright position.
3) Move the top joystick and move the turntable leftwards thus creating enough space for the wheel to be mounted on the platform.
Keep the wheel in vertical position.
DANGER!
This operation can be extremely
dangerous.
Do it manually only if you are certain
you can keep the wheel balanced.
For large and heavy tyres an adequate
lifting device must be used.
4) Continuing to operate from the mobile control centre,
lift or lower the arm in order centre the self-centering
chuck (
3, fig. A ) relative to the rim.
5)
With the clamps (
22, fig. A ) in the closed position,
move the turntable near the wheel, then operate the
switch (
9, fig. C ) to open the turntable, thus locking the
rim internally and in the most appropriate position to
be chosen according to the type of rim, as explained
in
figures E/1-E/2-E/3-E/4-E/5-E/6
.
Always remember that the safest locking is on the
central flange.
N.B.
for rims with channel, clamp the wheel so that the
channel is near the outside of the rim (
fig. E/1
).
DANGER!
Do not very the work area with a
wheel clamped on the tyre
changer and lifted up from the
floor.
DANGER! During all operations, keep hands and other parts of the body as far as possible from moving
parts of the machine.
Necklaces, bracelets and too large clothes, can be dangerous for the operator.
If the pressure value is not within the above indicate range see the “MAINTENANCE” of this manual to
solve this problem.
If the pressure shown in the manometer, is still not within this range, DO NOT USE the tyre changer and
call your nearest Assistance Centre.
