  • Page 24 11.0_IDENTIFYING AND CHECKING THE RIM AND TYRE Before you start to demount the tyre, it is of CRUCIAL IMPORTANCE to identify the measurements of the rim and of the tyre. Also make sure neither is damaged. ATTENTION: These procedures are very important and are to be performed to reduce risks of the tyre bursting when re-mounting the tyre on the rim and inflating it. All rims bear an indication of their diameter, width, number of humps etc. If we take the picture below as an example, you can see that: A= 8 Nominal width of the rim in inches (1 inch =24.5 mm) B = J Size of the flange C = 15 Nominal diameter of the rim...
  • Page 25 TYRE CLASSIFICATION LOW PROFILE tyres (UHP) are those in which the height (H) and the width (C) have a ratio lower than 0.5 (i.e. low profile series 45 stands for a ratio of H/C = 0.45). For tyres to be considered as LOW PROFILE (UHP), they must also have a maximum speed code of equal to and/or higher than V. RUN-FLAT tyres are those which, even when they have no internal pressure, allow you to continue to drive the vehicle for a preset number of miles and at a preset speed. These parameters change from one manufacturer to another. The market currently offers 2 different types of RUN-FLAT tyres: - Those with REINFORCED SIDE (SELF-SUPPORTING) where, thanks to a different mix and a reinforced structure, the shoulder of the tyre is able to bear the weight of the vehicle even when the pressure in the tyre is zero.

  • Page 32 DEMOUNTING UPPER BEAD Start to insert the tool in the tyre and possibly exploit the bead breaking disc, positioning it in the top part, without forcing the side of the tyre excessively. NB. If you have difficulty in positioning the tyre on the end of the tool, you need to turn the spindle until it positions itself correctly. While turning, make sure the tool does not touch the pressure sensor, if installed. - Make sure the bead of the tyre is over the extractable tool. Raise the extractable tool (fig. 11a); if the extractable tool is unable to complete its full stroke, you need to press the tyre in the position opposite the tool to facilitate the movement (fig. 11a).
  • Page 33 MOUNTING STANDARD TYRES LOWER BEAD Fig. 15 - Check the rim and the tyre, as described in the specific section of this manual. - If the rim has been removed, clamp the wheel on the spindle flange, as described in the WHEEL CLAMPING section. NOTE: To ensure safety, you are recommended to use a specific tool to replace the valve. - Carefully lubricate the whole inner surface of the rim and the beads of the tyre, both externally and internally right around the circumference, for a thickness of at least 30 mm. (Fig. 15) If there is a sensor, do not let it come into contact with the lubricant - Swing in the horizontal arm until the tool is positioned correctly compared to the rim. - Position the tyre horizontally on the rim, slightly tilted downwards to the “3 o’clock” position (fig. 16). Fig. 16 Make sure the bead of the tyre rests on the “shoe” shaped part of the tool and under the grub screw in the opposite part of the tool.
  • Page 34 UPPER BEAD Fig. 20 -Position the tyre horizontally on the rim, slightly tilted downwards in the “5 o’clock” position (fig. 20). - Move the tyre so that the bead passes below the front section of the mounting head and is brought up against the edge of the rear section of the mounting head itself. - Keeping the tyre bead pressed down into the wheel rim channel with your hands, press down on the pedal (Z) to rotate the turntable clockwise. Continue until you have covered the entire circumference of the wheel rim (Fig. 12). In case of need use the pneumatic pressing devices to help duting these operations.

  • Page 52 We will honor warranties that result from manufacturing defects. Warranties do not apply to items  that have been abused or misused. Many times, the lack of proper lubrication or a loose nut/bolt  combination are the reason for tire changer parts to break or malfunction. It is the customer’s  responsibility to perform maintenance required by the manufacturer.  Electric motors for Atlas® tire changers carry a 6‐month warranty. A low amp service will shorten the  life of any electric motor. All 110‐volt tire changers should be “plugged into” at least a 20‐amp service.  All 220‐volt tire changers should be “plugged into” at least a 30‐amp Single Phase service. Do not use  extension cords with either a tire changer or wheel balancer.  NOTE: ALL WARRANTY CLAIMS MUST BE PRE‐APPROVED BY THE MANUFACTURER TO BE VALID.  All warranty repairs/replacements must be approved in writing by Atlas Automotive Equipment, Inc.  Atlas Automotive Equipment is not responsible for the cost of "outside parts or labor" unless specifically  approved in writing. We want your piece of equipment to be as perfect as possible and we will honor  our warranty pledge to you. However, the customer MUST notify Atlas Automotive Equipment and  receive written permission for "outside" warranty parts/labor (not performed/supplied by Atlas  Automotive Equipment) supplied/to be performed if customer expects to be reimbursed.  Our limited warranty policy (2 year parts) requires the alleged defective part to be returned to Atlas  Automotive Equipment (freight pre‐paid.) BEFORE the replacement part can be sent. This means the  customer is responsible to pay the freight back to Atlas Automotive Equipment. Atlas Automotive  Equipment may waive the necessity for the “broken” part to be returned, if the customer sends (via  Email) digital photos. If the “broken” part is an integral part of the machine, and the loss of this part will  not allow the machine to work properly during the evaluation period, Atlas Automotive Equipment can  waive the “normal” return policy in certain situations so there is minimal down time for the operator. If  there is a question as to the whether the part is covered by our limited warranty, Atlas Automotive  Equipment can charge the customer’s credit card for the replacement part (when the part is shipped)  and then credit the amount of the part (not the freight) if the returned “broken” part is covered under  warranty.  Atlas Automotive Equipment has been in business for over 32 years and has a service department  with an excellent reputation. The old adage that compares the attitude of the customer to the type of  service received rings true for Atlas Automotive Equipment.  We sell quality products with very few warranty issues. When there is a warranty issue, (or an out of  warranty issue) we want to get the customer back in business as quickly as possible. A good attitude  from the Atlas Automotive Equipment service technician coupled with a positive attitude from the  customer will produce a satisfactory outcome for both parties.  Please have your owner’s manual with you when you call. If you have lost your manual, the best way  to describe a part is with a digital photo. A digital photo leaves NO ROOM to the imagination. If our  service technicians have your digital photos in front of them, then the process of replacing parts is much  easier. Please help us to help you. Good information with pictures helps to speed the process. ...
