5.0 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The Tyre-Changer has to be used by qualified and authorised personnel only. A qualified operator is someone who has fully understood the instructions described in the operation instructions manual supplied by the manufacturer, who has been specifically trained and who is aware of safety standards at the workplace. It is essential to use proper service methods and change tyres in an appropriate and acceptable manner that does not endanger your safety, the safety of others in the work area or the equipment or vehicle in a safe manner.

12.0 RIM AND TYRE IDENTIFICATION Before starting demounting a tyre, it is of CRUCIAL IMPORTANCE to identify the measurements of the rim and of the tyre, as well as to make sure that neither the rim nor the tyre are damaged. Warning: these very important procedures have to be correctly performed to reduce risks of tyre bursting while re-mounting and inflating the tyre on the rim.
14.0 WHEELS AND TYRES CLASSIFICATION 14.1 Standard wheels A “standard wheel” is a car wheel with steel or alloy rim, with center hole, drop centre close to the external border of the rim and a standard tyre (neither RUN-FLAT nor LowProfile). 14.2 Low-profiled tyres (UHP) wheels Low profile tyres (UHP) are those in which the height (H) and the width (C) have a ratio lower than 0.5 (i.e.
16.0 WHEEL LIFTING AND CENTERING ONTO CENTER-PLATE Before lifting and positioning the wheel onto the centre-plate, please: - remove all weights from the rim by a proper tool carefully, - remove any object or tool which could interfere the wheel lifter (available as optional). - put the wheel vertically onto the wheel lifter, rim back facing the Tyre-Changer.
SMART LOCK introduction / Quick-Release sleeve extraction handle. Wheel clamping operation with Smart Lock Locking lever Check the correct wheel positioning onto the clamping chuck. Insert SMART LOCK making the centering cone fit the rim hole correctly, leaving Centering cone no space among SMART LOCK nut, the rim and the tyre-changer clamping chuck.
17.2 Maintenance - The regular cleaning and lubrication of the SMART LOCK components grant a long-lasting correct functioning of the tool. 1- Clean the expanding nut with the metallic brush or use the standard supplied cleaning brush for Smart Lock. 2- Blow compressed air to remove dirt.
19.0 BEAD LOOSENING BY ROLLERS Make sure the tyre is completely deflated before starting any operation on the wheel. -Remove all weights from the rim by a proper tool, paying attention not to damage the rim. -Before starting any operation, please check the eventual presence of a pressure sensor. In positive case, it is prefe rable to check its efficiency by a dedicated diagnostic tool.
19.2 Lower bead Keep the bead-loosening unit set up as for upper bead release: the lower roller is always aligned with the upper one, at 5 mm distance from rim lower edge already. Lift the lower roller until it touches the lower bead using controls 6 for lifting and 7 for lowering. Start spinning the wheel clockwise by pressing pedal 22.
22.0 LEVER - NO LEVER TYRE MOUNTING/DEMOUNTING SYSTEM (patented) Patented Lever - No Lever tyre mounting/demounting system allows the user to operate either in “No Lever” mode, that is without using the lever, or, in the case of special wheels with the traditional bead lifting lever.
23.0 TYRE DEMOUNTING -Once the bead breaking process is completed, and the wheel is already positioned onto the clamping chuck, check and ensure its locking and centering. 23.1 Upper bead demounting “NO LEVER” MODE - Turn the wheel until the valve is in the “1 o’clock” position (roughly 10 cm - 4”...
23.2 Lower bead demounting - Before pulling out the lower bead, spin the wheel to let the valve reach 12 o’clock position in order to avoid possible damages to the valve and the sensor - if any. - Lower the lever ref. 2 to insert the demounting tool under the lower bead.
24.0 TYRE MOUNTING - Check the rim and the tyre carefully, as per instructions at page 12 of this manual. - If the rim has been removed, lock it again onto the centre-plate as per instructions at page 14 of this manual. - 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 width of at least 3 cm.
24.3 UHP and RUN-FLAT tyres mounting - Some precise and careful operations are necessary to mount UHP and RUN-FLAT tyres. It is compulsory to follow WDK rules to avoid Fig. 1 permanent damages to these tyres. - Lower bead mounting can be performed as per standard instruction at page 22 of this manual.
25.0 INFLATION Tyres must be inflated with the utmost caution. The instructions below have to be read and followed strictly. This Tyre-Changer is NOT designed to protect operators and objects from accidental tyres explosions. ATTENTION: If tyre bead fails to fit in place at 3.5 bar pressure, it is necessary to repeat the bead loosening and lubricating procedures before trying again to inflate the tyre.
25.1 Tubeless tyre inflation (optional) • In order to properly use the optional Tubeless Inflating Device: Activating button Press the safety valve against the rim edge, push the activating button onto the handle to blast air and press the inflating pedal ref. 23 in order to feed the wheel valve. Safety valve During the inflation stages (and especially during the bead seating operation), it is recommended to...
