  • Page 13 ⚠ CAUTION Ranger recommends having at least two people move the Tire Changer; it is heavy and the weight is not evenly distributed. If it is dropped or falls, it could cause injuries and the Tire Changer could be damaged.
  • Page 14 The Tire Changer has holes for anchoring it into place; anchoring is optional. Note: You are not required to anchor your Tire Changer. BendPak Ranger recommends doing so, as the Tire Changer applies a certain amount of force at various times during the changing of a Tire.
  • Page 15 Once past the hole in the Base Plate, the Anchor Bolt eventually stops going down into the hole as the Expansion Sleeve contacts the sides of the hole; this is normal. 5. Hammer or mallet the Anchor Bolt the rest of the way down into the hole. Stop when the Washer is snug against the Base Plate.
  • Page 16 Connecting to an Air Source The Tire Changer requires a 15 to 25 CFM Air Source with an operating air pressure of 140 to 165 PSI (9.6 to 11.4 bar). The Tire Changer uses pneumatic and electrical energy; if your organization has Lockout/Tagout policies, make sure to implement them after connecting to the Air Source.
  • Page 17 Connecting to a Power Source The Tire Changer has to be connected to a 208-230 VAC power source. A Power Cord with no Plug is provided with the unit. You need to have a licensed, certified Electrician wire the open end of the Power Cord to an appropriate 208-230 VAC NEMA 30 Amp Plug. Refer to Plug Wiring Information for additional wiring information.

Note: When the Quick-Nut and its Cones and Adapters are shipped from the factory, they are coated with oil to protect them. Until you clean the oil off of them, either wear gloves, keep a rag handy, or be prepared to wash your hands frequently.

  • Page 30 Before You Change a Tire ⚠ DANGER Do not use the Tire Changer unless you have been properly trained and have read the entire Installation and Operation Manual. Tire changing must only be done by trained personnel. Failure to understand and follow proper procedures will result in injury or death.
  • Page 31 The Tire, Wheel, or both can be damaged and the Tire could explode under pressure, resulting in serious injury or death. BendPak Ranger recommends you not try to demount or mount this type of Wheel . If you do attempt to demount or mount this type of Wheel, proceed with extreme caution.
  • Page 32 The Steps in Changing a Tire Changing a Tire consists of multiple steps: 1. Place the Wheel on the Turntable. Use the Tire Lift and the Up Foot Pedal to get a Wheel onto the Turntable. 2. Secure the Wheel. It is important for the Wheel to stay in place on the Turntable. Use the Quick-Nut to do this.
  • Page 33 Placing a Wheel on the Turntable When you want to take the Tire off of a Wheel (called demounting the Tire), you must first put the Wheel onto the Tire Changer Turntable. To put a Wheel onto the Turntable: 1. Make sure you are wearing ANSI-approved eye protection: safety glasses, face shield, or goggles. 2.
  • Page 34 Secure the Wheel Securing the Wheel ensures it stays in place while you demount or mount the Tire. To secure a Wheel on the Turntable: 1. Select an appropriate Adapter or Cone. You want the Adapter or Cone to go into the hole in the center of the Wheel without going all the way through and touching the Turntable.
  • Page 35 Deflate the Tire If you have not done so already, you need to fully deflate the Tire. ⚠ DANGER Never attempt to demount or mount an inflated Tire. You must fully deflate it first. Attempting to demount or mount an inflated Tire will result in injury or death.
  • Page 36 Break the Bead The Bead must be broken – on both sides of the Tire – before the Tire can be taken off the Wheel. sure Important: Do not begin breaking a Tire’s bead until you are that the Tire is being held securely in place and it is completely deflated.
  • Page 37 7. Using the Upper Tool Arm Control, push the upper Bead Breaker Tool down into the Tire about an inch. 8. Step on the Rotation Foot Pedal and hold it down. The Turntable begins turning clockwise. 9. Press and hold the Tool Adjustment Button. The upper Bead Breaker Tool pushes down into the Tire until it gets below the edge of the rim and then automatically moves in about an inch or two, depending on the geometry of the Tire.
  • Page 38 After the Bead is broken, you can take the Tire off the Wheel, called demounting. Important: BendPak Ranger recommends using a liberal amount of lubricant; this makes the Tire come off more easily and helps to prevent damage to the Wheel or the Tire.
  • Page 39 14. Move both Arms up, high enough so the lower Bead edge will clear the top of the upper Rim. 15. Use the Lower Tool Arm Control to move the lower Bead Breaker Tool up. 16. Press and hold the Tool Adjustment Button and the Rotation Foot Pedal. The Tire is pulled up.
  • Page 40 Wheel / Tire Mismatches A Wheel / Tire mismatch is mounting a Tire where the Tire Bead diameter does not exactly match the Diameter of the Wheel. A Wheel / Tire mismatch is dangerous . A mismatched Tire and Wheel may separate or explode, resulting in injury or even death.
  • Page 41 Mount a New Tire This section describes how to mount a new Tire on a Wheel. ⚠ WARNING Mounting a new Tire can be hazardous if not done correctly. Do not change a Tire unless you have been trained to do so. Failure to understand and follow proper procedures can result in injury or death.
  • Page 42 8. Push down on the Tire so that it is part way down the Mounting Tool. 9. Rotate the Turntable until the bottom edge of the Tire slips down over the top edge of the Wheel. 10. Lower the Lower Tool Arm. The Tire slides down so that it is next to the Wheel.
  • Page 43 If the Tire inflation process goes smoothly, these three stages could easily be considered a single stage instead of multiple stages. ⚠ CAUTION The inflation process can produce some additional noise. BendPak Ranger recommends wearing ear protection when inflating a Tire. ⚠ Do not exceed the maximum air pressure specified by the Tire manufacturer. This...
  • Page 44 5. Press and hold on the Inflation Foot Pedal for a second or two. Air goes into the Tire and seals the Bead. Bead Sealing takes very little air pressure, anywhere from 0 to 3 psi, which you can monitor on the Pressure Gauge.
  • Page 45 Remove the Wheel from the Turntable Once the new Tire has been correctly mounted on the Wheel and inflated, you can remove it from the Turntable. To remove a Wheel from the Turntable: 1. Take the Quick-Nut off and return it to its holder on the Tire Changer. Flip down the Wings, turn the Wings counter-clockwise until the Quick-Nut is untightened, then hold the Quick Release Levers to the side and pull up the Quick-Nut.

  • Page 46: Maintenance

    • Daily: Make sure the unit is clean and dry. • Weekly: Check all labels to make sure they are in place and legible. Contact BendPak Ranger if replacement labels are needed. • Weekly: Check the water of the Regulator/Filter. If the reservoir is one quarter (25%) or more filled with water, drain it.
  • Page 47 Check the Water Level Water coming in from the Air Source is pulled out of the incoming air by the Regulator/Filter and dropped into the reservoir at the bottom. This water needs to be drained periodically. To drain water from the Regulator/Filter reservoir: 1.
  • Page 48 Check the Oil Feed Rate and Adding Oil The built-in lubricator adds pneumatic oil to the Incoming Air. This ensures that all pneumatic components of the Tire Changer receive the necessary lubrication, which maintains operating performance, reduces wear, and extends service life. It is very important to make sure the oil feed rate is correct, 1 or 2 drops of oil per use of the Up or Down Foot Pedals, and that there is enough pneumatic oil in the Oil Reservoir of the Oiler/Lubricator.
