4. Setup Instructions
4.1. Unpacking and Inspection
- Carefully unpack all components and verify against the packing list.
- Inspect for any shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to the carrier and supplier.
4.2. Assembly
- Air Compressor: Attach the wheels and rubber stopper to the base of the air compressor as per the included hardware.
- Tire Changer: Assemble the swing arm, mounting bar, and mounting/demounting head. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Connect the air gun and gauge to the appropriate port on the tire changer.
4.3. Electrical Connection
- The Tire Changer requires a 110V/60Hz power supply.
- The Air Compressor requires a 220V/1Ph power supply.
- Ensure dedicated circuits are used for each unit to prevent overloading. Consult a qualified electrician if unsure.
4.4. Air Line Connection
- Connect the air output from the compressor to the air input of the tire changer using appropriate high-pressure air hoses and fittings (not included).
- Ensure all air line connections are tight and leak-free.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Air Compressor Operation
- Before first use, ensure the compressor oil reservoir is filled to the correct level (refer to manufacturer's instructions on the unit).
- Turn on the air compressor. Allow it to build pressure until it reaches its maximum PSI (145 PSI) and automatically shuts off.
- Use the regulator to set the desired output air pressure for your tools.
- The compressor features a 3-Cylinder Cast-Iron design for high efficiency and quiet operation.
5.2. Tire Changer Operation
