IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS General safety rules When using your garage equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. Read all instructions. 2. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts. • Any tampering with or modification to the machine not previ- 3.
• The machine handles and operating grips must be kept clean and PACKING AND MOBILIZATION FOR TRANSPORT free from oil. • The workshop must be kept clean, dry and not exposed to atmos- pheric agents. Make sure that the working premises are properly lit.
UNPACKING MOBILIZATION If the machine has to be moved. DURING UNPACKING, ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES TO PREVENT ANY INJURY CAUSED BY CONTACT WITH PACKAGING MATERIAL (NAILS, ETC.). THE LIFTING EQUIPMENT MUST WITHSTAND A MINIMUM RATED LOAD EQUAL TO THE WEIGHT OF THE MACHINE (SEE PARAGRAPH TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS).
WORKING ENVIRONMENT CONDITIONS Lighting The machine must be operated under proper conditions as follows: The machine does not require its own lighting for normal working operations. However, it must be placed in an adequately lit environ- • temperature: 0° + 55° C ment.

Make sure the motor of the hydraulic communication between the control and the electrical panel, when power unit rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow (Fig.
11.0 CONTROLS Fig. 8 11.1 Cable control device The control (handle control) can be moved according to the position- ing necessities of the operator. The operator should place the control in a zone free from obstacles in order to see clearly and completely the operative zone.

12.6 Tubeless tyres F. Turn the chuck counterclockwise and, at the same time, gradu- ally move the tool carrier inwards to bead the tyre. Keep turning the chuck while generously lubricating the tyre rim and bead 12.6.1 Bead breaking with a suitable lubricant. To avoid risks, lubricate the beads by turning clockwise if you are working on the outer side or counterclockwise if you are working on the inner side.
12.6.2 Demounting • Move the rim away from the tool by about 4-5 cm to avoid possible unhooking of the bead from the same tool. • Move to work position A (Fig. 5). THROUGHOUT TYRE MOUNTING/DEMOUNTING OPERATIONS, CHECK THAT THE SELF-CENTRING •...
