12.3 Wheel clamping
All wheels must be locked on the rubber plate (

) through the central hole using the proper locking
device (

NOTE:
in case of use of rims without central hole, it’s
necessary to use the proper fixture (available
on demand).
To lock a rim proceed as follows:
1. Extract the central locking shaft and its cone (
Fig.
_
16
ref.
_
1
) through the proper handle (
Fig.
_
16 ref.
_

)
and, if necessary, turn it to facilitate its extraction.

12.0 USING THE MACHINE
12.1 Precaution measures during tyre re-
moval and fitting
Before fitting a tyre, observe the following safety rules:
• rim and tyre must be clean, dry and in good condi-
tion; if necessary, remove the balancing weights and
clean the rim. Check:
- neither the bead nor the tread of the tyre are dam-
aged;
- the rim does not produce dents and/or deformation
(especially for alloy rims, dents can cause internal
micro-fractures, that pass unobserved at visual
inspection, and can compromise the solidity of the
rim and constitute danger even during inflation);
• adequately lubricate the contact surface of rim and
tyre bead, using specific tyre lubricants only;
• replace the inner tube valve with a new valve, if the
tyre tube has a metal valve, replace the grommet;
• make sure that the tyre is the right size for the rim;
on the contrary, never fit a tyre unless you are sure
it is the right size (the rated size of the rim and tyre
is usually printed directly on each of them);
• do not use compressed air or water jets to clean the
wheels on the machine.
12.2 Preliminary operations - Preparing the
wheel
• Remove the wheel balancing weights from both sides
of the wheel.
REMOVE THE VALVE STEM AND
ALLOW THE TYRE TO COMPLETE-
LY DEFLATE.
• Establish from which side the tyre should be de-
mounted, checking the position of the groove.
• Find the rim locking type.
• Try to establish the special types of wheels, such as
“EH2” and “EH2+”, in order to improve locking, bead
breaking, assembly and disassembly performances.
