Anchoring the Tire Changer
The Tire Changer has holes for anchoring it into place; anchoring is optional.
Note:
The three .5 in / 12.7 mm holes for anchoring are located at:
• Front right
• Front left
• Rear right (under the Regulator/Filter)
The Anchor Bolts (sometimes called Wedge Anchors) mentioned in the following procedure are
supplied with the Tire Changer. You could, for example, use 3/8 in by 3 in Anchor Bolts to secure the
Tire Changer, drilling the hole approximately 2.5 in / 63.5 mm into the Concrete.
To anchor the Tire Changer:
1. Make sure the Tire Changer is in the desired location.
2. Using the holes as guides, drill the holes for the Anchor Bolts.
Go in straight; do not let the drill wobble. Use a carbide-tied drill bit (conforming to ANSI B212.15).
Use a drill bit that is the same diameter as the Anchor Bolt. So if you are using an 3/8 in diameter
Anchor Bolt, for example, use a 3/8 in diameter drill bit.
R980 Series of Tire Changers
You are not required to anchor your Tire Changer. BendPak Ranger recommends doing
so, as the Tire Changer uses force at various times during the changing of a Tire.
Anchoring it ensures it will not move during operation.
