The Tire Changer may work differently than other Tire Changers you have used. BendPak Ranger
requires that all potential Operators practice changing non-customer Tires to get familiar with how
the product works
•
Keep the work area clean and well lit. Dirty, cluttered, and dark work areas increase the chances of
an accident happening.
•
Do not access the inside of the Tire Changer unless instructed to do so by BendPak Ranger
Support.
•
Do not use the Tire Changer in a wet environment or expose it to rain or excess moisture.
•
If you need to use an extension cord to get power to the unit, use one with a current rating equal
to or greater than that of the Tire Changer. Cords rated for less current than the Tire Changer
could overheat. If used, arrange the extension cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled out.
•
Do not use anything flammable on the Beads or Rims as lubrication; instead, use non-flammable
vegetable or soap-based lubricant.
•
Do not use the Tire Changer in the vicinity of open containers of flammable liquids.
•
Clean the unit according to the instructions in Maintenance.
•
Read the entire Installation and Operation Manual before using the Tire Changer.
•
Make a visual inspection of the Tire Changer
if you find any issues. Instead, take it out of service, then contact your dealer, visit
bendpak.com/support, or call Bendpak Ranger at (805) 933-9970.
•
Always identify and correctly match the Tire and Rim diameters of the Tires you are mounting;
they must match exactly
result of a mismatch is that the Tire could literally explode off the Wheel when you inflate it or while
the Vehicle is being driven. In both cases, people could be injured or killed.
Some people use the phrase "tire mismatch" to mean Tires on a single vehicle with different tread
patterns or from different manufacturers. This is not what we are talking about here.
