5.2.3 OPERATION CHECK OF CHUCK SWITCH (7, fig. C) When the chuck arms open or closed, there is always a potential for crushing anything in their movement range. Always work from the positions given in the instructions keep well out of the chuck working range.
CHAPTER 6 – OPERATION WORKING POSITION The diagram B/8 illustrates the various working positions (a, b, c, d) referred to in the following pages describing how to use the tire changer. Use of these positions ensures greater precision, speed and safety for using the machines.
Always remember that the safest locking is on the central FLANGE. For rims with channel, clamp the wheel so that the channel is near the outside of the rim (fig. E/1). For rims exceeding a diameter of 46” and without a flange, clamp the wheel using the clamp extension Art 140/90, which can be ordered from the Manufacturer.
