CAUTION:
Always disconnect the tire changer from its air and electrical supply before
beginning any maintenance procedures. Press and release the bead breaker pedal and the
inflation pedals several times to evacuate all compressed air that is still in the air tank or the air
system of the tire changer. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the tire changer.
Check for loose screws, misalignment of parts, binding of moving parts, broken parts, loose or
damaged air supply hose / electric power cord, and any other condition that may affect its safe
operation. If abnormal noise or vibrations are noticed, disconnect the tire changer from its air and
electric supply sources immediately and correct the problem before further use. Never use
damaged or unsafe equipment.
ƒ
Use pressurized air to keep the turntable clean. Make sure that there is no debris under
the jaw guides to prevent their full range of motion. Clean the turntable (weekly) with a
mild detergent. The jaw guides should be greased once a week.
ƒ Filter/Regulator/Lubricator (FRL) routine maintenance is discussed in Chapter 7.
ƒ
After the first week of use, check all screws, bolts and fittings. Make sure all screws are
tight.
Turntable slide blots are subject to constant movement and need to be
tightened regularly.
BELT MAINTENANCE
If the turntable begins to lose power, the drive belt may be loose.
Remove the side cover of the tire changer to check the belt. If the belt is
loose, tighten the belt with the adjusting screw located on the motor
support. Leave a slight amount of deflection in the belt to prevent motor
damage.
LOCK LEVER MAINTENANCE
In the event the lock lever does not properly lock the hex shaft in place,
or the mounting head doesn’t move slightly off the mounted rim when
the lever is engaged: remove the plastic cover and adjust the nuts
slightly to increase the tension.
5 PORT FOOT VALVE MAINTENANCE
To clean or replace the 5 port foot valves, remove the side cover, which is
located on the left side of the tire changer body, by unscrewing the three
socket head cap screws.
To remove the 5 port foot valve: Mark and remove the air lines from the
foot valve. Mark the location of the valve on the bracket. Remove the four
mounting screws and disconnect the rod.
Clean the 5 port foot valve, using a jet of compressed air. Or if necessary,
replace the rod o-rings and exhaust mufflers.
