10. PROCEDURE FOR REPLACING DRIVE TIRES
The Accelair 2 uses replaceable silicone drive tires to provide
grip to install the blown fiber. Two different sizes are available
for small and large fiber. When installing a different fiber or
through wear it will be necessary to replace these drive tires.
•
Stretch a new tire over the lower wheel plate.
•
Replace the top plate, being careful to line up the holes. The
new tire may require slight manipulation to stretch it on to
the top wheel half.
•
Replace the countersunk screws; note that while tightening
the screws the operator should feel the tire being slightly
compressed.
ALWAYS ENSURE TIRES ARE REPLACED AS PAIRS OF THE SAME SIZE.
Remove all six M3 countersunk
screws.
Remove the two wheel assemblies
off the drive hubs
Separate the top and bottom support
wheels.
Remove the old silicone tire
