P/N 5900171 — Rev. C — Dec. 2019
Operation
This section describes how to use your Tire Changer.
It shows and describes the main components involved in demounting and mounting Tires, followed by
the necessary procedures for each step in the process.
⚠
DANGER
Being in close proximity to a Tire Changer is a serious endeavor with potentially life-
threatening risks. Only trained, authorized, supervised personnel may be within 30
feet of the Tire Changer while it is in use.
Do not assume you are going to be
safe using the Tire Changer this time just because nothing
happened last time
.
Usage Precautions
Keep the following in mind while you use your Tire Changer:
•
Make sure all Operators receive specific training in Tire demounting and mounting
before
they are
allowed to use the Tire Changer, that their training is verified through a testing program, and that all
training is documented. All others, including children and untrained personnel,
must
be kept at
least 30 feet away from the Tire Changer while it is in use.
•
Make sure new Operators are trained and supervised in the use of the Tire Changer.
•
Never perform any service on an
inflated
Tire;
always
fully deflate the Tire by removing the Valve
Core and letting the air escape before beginning work.
•
Never mount or change
damaged
Tires or Wheels.
•
When mounting Tires, identify the maximum allowed inflation pressure; it should be on the sidewall
of the Tire.
Do not exceed the maximum allowed inflation pressure of the Tire
.
•
Make sure the Tire is restrained for inflation: either internally clamped or in a Tire Inflation Cage
RIC-4716 4-Bar Tire Inflation Cage from BendPak Ranger
). Do not inflate
a Tire if it is externally clamped; external clamping interferes with inflation.
•
When using the Tire Changer, be careful of your hands; there are multiple pinch point dangers on
the unit.
Do not rest your hands on any part of the Tire Changer while using it
.
⚠
WARNING
The Air Chuck has a self-gripping clip that lets you clip it on when inflating a Tire,
which means you do not have to hold it in place during inflation.
Do not hold the
Air Chuck while you are inflating a Tire
. This leaves you very close to the
Tire, which could result in injury if there were a problem during the inflation. Instead,
clip the Air Chuck into position, move away from the Tire, then press and hold
down the Trigger on the Inflation Gun.
•
You
must
wear OSHA-approved (publication 3151) Personal Protective Equipment at all times
when installing, using, maintaining, or repairing the Tire Changer. Leather gloves, steel-toed work
boots, eye protection, back belts, and hearing protection
are mandatory
.
•
When using the Tire Changer,
the operator must wear
ANSI-approved
eye protection at all times
:
safety glasses, a face shield, or protective goggles.
⚠
WARNING
Always wear ANSI-approved eye protection. An accident could cause significant
injuries to your eyes.
