  • Page 15: Description Of The Machine Controls

    Description of the Machine Controls Installation Space required for positioning When choosing the place of installation be sure that it complies with current safety-at-work regulations. The Tire-Changer must be connected to the main electric power supply and the compressed air system. It is therefore advisable to install the machine near these power sources.

  • Page 16: Transport

    Transport The Tire Changer must be transported in its original packaging and kept in the position indicated on the box. The packaged machine must be moved with a fork lift of suitable capacity. Please insert the forks as shown in fig. 1. Unpacking Remove the protective cardboard, remove all fixing screw and free the Tire-Changer from its original pallet.

  • Page 17: Set Up

    Set Up Connect the machine to the electrical power supply, which must have line fuses and an efficient grounding system, meeting current standards. It must also be connected to an automatic differential 20A circuit breaker. NOTE: If the machine is not supplied with an electrical plug, the user shall install a 20A plug that is suitable for the voltage of the machine and complies with current standards.

  • Page 18: Wheel Clamping Operation With Smart Lock

    Wheel Clamping Operation with Smart Lock 1. Check the correct wheel positioning on the clamping chuck. Insert SMART LOCK making the centering cone fi t the rim hole correctly, leaving no space among SMART LOCK nut, the rim and the Tire-Changer clamping chuck.

  • Page 19: Positioning The Valve

    Positioning the Valve Fig. 6 shows a rim in the form of a clock. In the following Mounting and Demounting process steps, you will position the rim with clock directions, so that the valve and pressure sensor do not get damaged. CAUTION To avoid damaging the valve and pressure sensor, (if installed) you must always arrange the valve in...

  • Page 20: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (Tpms)

    Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) TPMS, Tire Pressure Monitoring System is an electronic system designed to monitor the air pressure inside the tires through special sensors mounted inside the wheels, which provide real-time tire-pressure information and inside temperature data to the vehicle’s electronic control unit. Tire pressure system alerts the driver when the tire pressure falls 20% below the recommended pressure, thus increasing your safety on the road.

  • Page 21: Bead Loosening

    Bead Loosening Ensure the tire is completely deflated before starting any operation on the wheel. Before lifting and positioning the wheel onto the clamping chuck, use the proper tool to remove any weights from the rim, paying attention to not damage the rim. Before starting any operation, check for the presence of a pressure sensor.

  • Page 22: Lower Bead Loosening

    Lower Bead Loosening Keep the bead loosener system set up as for upper bead loosener disk procedure: the lower bead loosener disk is always aligned with the upper one, and it is already positioned at 3-4 mm from lower rim edge. Lift the lower bead loosener disk until it touches the lower tire bead using controls 13 for lifting and 12 for lowering.

  • Page 23: Tire Demounting

    Tire Demounting Once the bead loosening process is completed, and the wheel is already positioned on the clamping chuck, check and ensure its locked and centered. Upper Bead Demounting Bring the tilting tower close to the wheel by pressing pedal 1, while simultaneously placing the mounting tool over the rim edge using the handle (fig.

  • Page 24: Lower Bead Demounting

    Lower Bead Demounting Press pedal 1 to move the mounting arm away from the working position. Before pulling out the lower bead, spin the clamping chuck to let the valve reach “1” or “2” o’clock position in order to avoid possible damages to the valve and the pressor sensor - if equipped.

  • Page 25: Upper Bead Mounting

    Upper Bead Mounting Keep the mounting arm and the mounting tool in working position and proceed with mounting of the upper bead, then put the tire bead on the rim slightly tilted down to “3 o’clock” position, so that the upper bead rests on the left side and under the right side of the mounting tool (fig.

  • Page 26: Inflation

    Infl ation NEVER exceed tire manufacturer's recom- mended air pressure. Tires can explode, especially if inflated beyond these limits. Use clip-on air chuck, keep hands, arms and entire body back from inflating tire. Avoid distraction during inflation. Check tire pressure frequently to avoid over infla- tion.

  • Page 27: Stages Of Inflation

    Stages of Infl ation on a Conventional Tire and Rim Review these descriptions and diagrams carefully. Refer to them as necessary during bead sealing, bead seating, and inflation to verify that you are proceeding properly and safely. Bead Sealing Bead sealing is the process of capturing air pressure between the tire and the rim.

  • Page 28: Mismatched Tires And Wheels

    Mismatched Tires and Wheels Never mount and inflate mis-matched tires and wheels. Mismatched tire and wheel combinations will explode, if you attempt to force a bead seat, causing personal injury or death to operator and/or bystanders. 22 • Important: Always read and follow operating instructions.

  • Page 29: Tubeless Tire Inflation

    NOTE: Sometimes, regular inflation may not be enough to seat the bead of tubeless tires. This problem may be solved by using the optional accessory TUBELESS INFLATING DEVICE. Tubeless Tire Infl ation In order to properly use the optional Tubeless Inflating Device: Press the safety valve against the rim border, push the activating button on the handle to blast air and press the inflating pedal 4 to provide air to the wheel valve.
