1.3 Tire Bead Loosening with PowerOut (TC33 model only)
1.4 Wheel Lift Pedal (TC33 model only) (Optional)
1.5 Wheel Rotation Pedal
1.6 Air Inflation Pedal
1.7 Inflator and Pressure Limiter
TC33 Series Tire Changer Operation Instructions
WARNING:
Keep arms and legs from between the bead breaker arm
and the side of the housing.
The bead loosener shovel is controlled by a handle on the shovel itself. Pulling
upward on the handle will insert push the shovel into the tire for bead loosening.
Pushing downward on the handle will pull the shovel back outward under power.
Repeat as necessary to loosen entire bead on both sides of wheel. Use care around
TPMS sensors.
Press down on the wheel lift pedal to raise wheel lift. PULL UP THE WHEEL LIFT
PEDAL TO LOWER THE LIFT. When the pedal is released the wheel lift WILL
REMAIN IN POSITION.
The right pedal on the front of TC base controls the rotation of the wheel. Refer to
"Equipment Components," on page 11-12.
Step down on the pedal to rotate the wheel clockwise (variable speed).
Lift the pedal to rotate the wheel counterclockwise (fixed speed).
CAUTION:
Keep hands clear of wheel, tire, and rollers during bead
loosening.
The left or the central pedal on the front of TC base is a two-stage design. Refer to
"Equipment Components," on page 11-12. The pedal controls the air going to the
inflation hose and the blast inflation nozzle.
CAUTION:
Keep hands clear of wheel during sealing and seating of
bead.
CAUTION:
When operating air inflation hose, do not lean over the tire.
Step down partially on the pedal to inflate tires through inflation hose.
Step down completely on the pedal to activate the blast inflator nozzle to seal tire
beads.
Refer to "2.7" on page 26 for complete inflation operation instructions.
As a safety device, the pressure limiter prevents the operator from using excessive
air pressure to seat the tire bead during tire inflation. Bead seating pressure should
never exceed 40 psi. If tires being mounted require more than 40 psi for inflation
pressure, the tire/wheel assembly should be removed from the tire changer, placed in
an inflation cage, and inflated per manufacturer's instructions.
While inflating the tire, the pressure gauge will read zero until the inflation pedal is
released. At that time, the gauge will give the correct air pressure reading in the tire.
Refer to "2.7" on page 26 for complete inflation operation instructions.
