6. Slowly continue moving the sliding carriage and table
left until the center of the wheel positions over the closed
self-centering chuck jaws.
7. Operate the chuck switch (
7
) to open the self-centering
chuck and lock onto the inside of the wheel using the
approved mounting illustrations shown below making sure
the drop center of the rim (when it exists) is kept towards
the outside of the jaws.
The drop center of the rim (when it exists) must be kept
towards the outside of the machine.
If the wheel is heavy, always be sure to use a suitable
external lifting device (i.e. fork lift, crane etc.). Always
practice workplace safety. Back belts provide support
during lifting activities and are also helpful in providing
operator protection.
4. Continuing to operate from the mobile control, lift or lower
the horizontal arm and center the self-centering chuck
relative to the center of the wheel. Move the joystick control
(
5
) to position A and the horizontal chuck arm will move
upward. Move the joystick control (
5
) to position B and the
horizontal chuck arm will move downward.
5. With the jaws in the closed position, move the joystick
control (
5
) to position C and the sliding carriage and table
will move left towards the self-centering chuck.
When the horizontal arm is lowered, there is always a
potential for crushing anything in its movement range.
Always keep well out of the working range of the various
moving arms and parts.
When the chuck jaws open or close, there is always a
potential for crushing anything in their movement range.
Always keep hands and fingers out of the jaws working
range.
When locking the wheel, make sure that clamps are
properly positioned on the rim, so as to prevent the tire
from falling.
This operation can be extremely dangerous. Do it
manually only if you are certain you can keep the wheel
balanced. For large and heavy tires an adequate lifting
device must be used.
