Clamping The Wheel From Outside Of Rim - Alloy Rims - Hunter TCX56 Operating Instructions Manual

Clamping the Wheel from Outside of Rim - Alloy Rims

Place the clamping pedal in the stopped position by partially stepping down
pedal with the clamps expanding or in the fully expanded position.
From this stopped position, use additional partial steps on the clamping pedal to
incrementally retract the clamps. Set the clamps to the mark on the turntable that
corresponds to the size of rim to be clamped (12"- 14" - 16").
Place the wheel onto the turntable.
Continue to incrementally retract the clamps until all four clamps contact the rim.
Step down
Always verify that all four clamps are on the rim before applying pressure to prevent
possible damage to the rim.
Plastic jaw covers may be used to help maintain rim protection when clamping externally.
Plastic covers also be used to prevent wheel slip.
Plastic jaw covers may be replaced periodically when worn by ordering kit RP11-8-11100358
which contains 2 sets of plastic covers.
This tire changer is equipped with an adjustable turntable ; there are two knobs that allow extended
clamping capacity up to 26 " (up to 26" clamping externally / up to 28" clamping internally).
- with the knobs facing outwards, we have a clamping capacity that goes from 10" to 22"
(clamping externally).
- with the knobs facing inwards we have a clamping capacity that goes from 14" to 26"
(clamping externally).
To get this feature, pull the knob and rotate to move through an angle of 180 °
(note: the pin knob must fit into the locking hole).
It is always necessary that the two knobs are in the same position with respect to center of
the turntable: both facing outwards (10"-22") or both facing inward (14"-26").
A mixed position, with a knob facing outwards and the other facing inwards, is not
recommended.
