VEHICLE COMPATIBILITY The Tirehand TH20K167 will permanently adapt to either a forklift truck or a front-end loader. When mounting to a forklift truck, it is recommended that the truck be equipped with a sideshifter. If adapted to a front-end loader, quick couplers are available which enable the disconnection of the Tirehand so that the original bucket can be quickly coupled to the machine for normal operations.

(172.4 - 206.8 bar). A flow divider may be required if the forklift or loader pump provides excess flow. Contact IMT for specific installation instructions on any type of installation. Prior to connecting any electrical connections between the tirehand and the loader or forklift, check the tirehand voltage.
PSI (172.4 - 206.8 bar). Some of the components shown on the typical hydraulic installation drawing, including the flow dividers, reservoir, filter, pump, and drain, are not provided by IMT but are part of the loader or forklift. Contact IMT for specific installation instructions on any type of installation.
TH20K167 Manual #99905542 Loader Installation NOTE: Tirehand installations vary based on the carrier vehicle. Contact IMT for specific installation assistance. Mount the Tirehand to loader arms using the original loader pins. Splice the flow control divider into the existing pressure line.

Chapter 3 Installation 17 Lift Truck Installation Mount the Tirehand to lift truck using the original carriage pin. Splice the flow control divider into the existing pressure line. Continue the original line to its original destination (forklift function, etc.), and route the controlled line (with 12 gpm (45.4 lpm) at 2500-3000 psi (172.4 - 206.8 bar)) to the tirehand valvebank.
TH20K167 Manual #99905542 Bulkhead Installation If the forklift on which the tirehand is installed includes control valves, all of the hydraulic lines from the forklift control valves must culminate at the front of the carriage. The forklift will connect to the tirehand using a bulkhead plate. The forklift manufacturer must furnish oil for all hydraulic functions.
Chapter 3 Installation 19 Valvebank Installation When the Tirehand has a valvebank, connect the valvebank to the forklift or loader hydraulic system using the hydraulic pressure and return line from the forklift or loader Install the Tirehand on the loader or forklift, connecting the suction and return lines from the forklift or loader to the tirehand valvebank.

TH20K167 Manual #99905542 Tirehand Intended Use and Identification This Tirehand is a tire lifting and positioning device. It should be used to remove, transport, replace, and storage stack tires. It is designed only as a tire handling device and should not be used for any other purposes.
Chapter 4 Operation 23 Tirehand Equipment Inspection Daily and weekly, before use, the operator should inspect as listed: ITEM DESCRIPTION FREQUENCY DAILY WEEKLY WALK-AROUND Inspect for hydraulic leaks, loose parts and obvious structural INSPECTION member damage. ROTATION SYSTEM Check for excessive backlash (play) between pinion gear and turntable gear-bearing.
TH20K167 Manual #99905542 Tirehand Controls LEFT BODY ROTATE SIDE SHIFT CLAMP RIGHT PAD ROTATE CLAMP RELEASE Hold toggle with Power CLAMP release switch switch to open Fallback clamp. Arm switch Emergency Stop switch NOTE: See the TireHandler Radio Remote System manual #99905678 for complete radio remote control system instructions.
Chapter 4 Operation 25 Tirehand Fallback Arms The Tirehand is equipped with fallback arms to prevent tire movement toward the working area between the tire and the back of the tirehand. When deployed, the fallback arms are positioned perpendicular to the arm assembly to prevent the tire from falling into the work area. They need to be positioned in-line with the arm assembly when rotating the tire.
TH20K167 Manual #99905542 Tirehand Task Performance To begin operation: 1 Open the tirehand clamps. 2 Maneuver the vehicle into a position so that the tirehand can be used to clamp the center of the tire with the tirehand body parallel to the ground. Raise the loader or forklift so the tirehand is elevated correctly.
Page 29
Chapter 4 Operation 27 WARNING If the tire is in a vertical position, the tire blocks operator visibility during transport. DO NOT transport tire in t his position! Rotate the pads so that the tire is in a horizontal position, parallel to the ground, before transporting.
TH20K167 Manual #99905542 Clamp the tire securely. Remember, clamp pressure changes as the weight shifts between the clamps. When the tire is vertical, the fallback arms, a safety device in case of operator error, will prevent the tire from falling into the space between the clamp and the body. Make sure the fallback arms are engaged when the tire is in the vertical position.
Chapter 4 Operation 29 The rotation system on the Tirehand is designed to allow the user to manipulate large tires. It is a precision function that was not designed to apply high loads. However, the load holding valves that are built into this system to help control the tire during handling will also prevent the body of the Tirehand from rotating freely when loads are applied to a single Tirehand arm.
TH20K167 Manual #99905542 Tirehand Warnings Warning decals are installed on the Tirehand, as well as on the loader or forklift, to give information about possible hazards. All decals must be installed and legible. If decals are damaged, they must be replaced. Refer to the parts section for the decal part numbers and locations on the Tirehand.

Chapter 4 Operation 31 FAILURE TO OBEY THE FOLLOWING WILL RESULT IN DANGER DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY, INSTABILITY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE NEVER attempt to handle tires filled with NEVER drag the tire - the unit is designed ballast. Stability or structural failure may to lift and carry.
For information concerning extreme condition lubrication, contact your local service representative. Note that the service schedule in this manual pertains only to the IMT tirehand. In addition to tirehand maintenance, it is your responsibility to follow all inspection and maintenance procedures for the forklift or loader, as defined in the forklift or loader maintenance manual.

Chapter 6 Tirehand Repair Tirehand Hydraulic Motors Four hydraulic motors are used on the Tirehand: two for Tirehand rotation and one each side for pad rotation. These motors are not considered field repairable and should be replaced if defective. HYDRAULIC MOTOR REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT To remove rotation motor: 1 Disconnect and cap the hydraulic hoses.
TH20K167 Manual #99905542 Tirehand Bearings This section includes instructions on the removal and installation of turntable gear-bearings and bushings. TURNTABLE GEAR-BEARING To remove the Tirehand rotation gear-bearing: 1 Disconnect and cap the hydraulic hoses from the valvebank. 2 Support the clamp arms with an overhead lifting device capable of supporting the weight of the unit.
Page 47
Chapter 6 Tirehand Repair 3 Remove the gear-bearing mounting bolts and remove the bearing. 4 Position the bearing so that the holes align with those in the arm. The grease fitting extension port must be toward the pinion gear. Install and torque the mounting bolts (see Torque Table).
TH20K167 Manual #99905542 BUSHING INSTALLATION ILLUSTRATION Turntable Bearing Thread Tightening Sequence Refer to the turntable bearing thread tightening diagram below for proper tightening/torqueing sequence of the turntable bearing to the crane base and crane mast. The total quantity of cap screws varies dependent on crane model.
