Operation

4.1 Operating notes

• Check the connection of the air pipe is in place, ensure that there is no air leakage, and ensure the operation space meets the requirements before starting work.
• Before any operation, the gas in the tire must be released, and the balance block of the tire balancing device must be removed.

4.2 Disassemble operation process

4.2.1 Bead Loosening

• Deflate the tire completely by removing the valve core from the valve stem. To avoid damaging the clamps and/or wheel, move the clamps to their full inward position before positioning a tire for bead loosening.
• Pull the bead breaker blade away from the machine and roll the wheel into position. If servicing a performance wheel or any wheel with a Tire Pressure Sensor, ensure the valve stem is at the 12 o'clock or 6 o'clock position.
• Position the bead breaker blade against the tire, next to, but not on, the rim or the sidewall of the tire. Press the breaker pedal to actuate the blade and loosen the bead. It may be necessary to loosen the bead in multiple locations around the tire. Use extra care when positioning the bead breaker blade on larger wheels/tires, and on alloy wheels.
• Turn the wheel around and repeat the procedure on the other side of the wheel. This should be the long side of the drop center. It will be easier to clamp the wheel to the table top if the lower bead is loosened last.
• Determine the mounting side of the wheel. The mounting side is the narrow side of the drop center.

[Images showing the bead loosening process: one of the tire changer's head near a wheel, and another of a tire on the turntable.]

[A diagram illustrating wheel configuration, showing the narrow side, drop center, and wide side of a wheel rim.]

4.2.2 Wheel Clamping

• Fix the block in the left helper arm.
• Place the tire/wheel assembly on the Table Top with the mounting side up.
• Use the Wheel Clamp Foot Pedal to move the clamps inward (pedal down) or outward (pedal up).

4.2.3 Tire mounting

• Apply tire manufacturer's approved rubber lubricant liberally to the entire circumference of both upper and lower beads after loosening the bead and placing it on the table top.
• After the wheel is secured to the Turntable, swing the Vertical Arm into position. Use the large adjusting Knob to position the Mount/Demount Head directly over the edge of the rim.
• Push the Vertical Shaft down and position the Mount/Demount Head into contact with the rim edge.
• Pull the locking handle towards you to lock the Vertical Shaft into position. As the slide is locked, the Mount/Demount Head will move upward approximately 1/8 inch and backward 1/8 inch from the rim edge. The Mount/Demount head roller should not be in contact with the rim edge.
• [Images showing tire mounting: one of the tire changer's head engaging with a tire, and another showing clearance measurements (1/8" to 3/16", 1/8" to 1/4") for the mount/demount head.]
• Rotate the wheel using the Turntable Pedal until the valve stem is at the 3 o'clock position in relation to the Mount/Demount Head.
• Insert the smooth curved end of the Bead Lifting Tool over the tab side of the Mount/Demount Head and below the top bead of the tire.
• Push the Bead Lifting Tool down and away from the wheel to lower the bead into the Drop Center while lifting up on the Table Top Pedal to rotate the turntable counter-clockwise.

INFLATION

Review the following descriptions and diagrams carefully. Refer to them as necessary during wheel restraint, bead sealing, bead seating, and inflation to verify that you are proceeding properly and safely.

WARNING: CHECK INFLATION GAUGE FOR PROPER OPERATION. ACCURATE PRESSURE READINGS ARE IMPORTANT TO SAFE TIRE INFLATION. REFER TO THE OPERATING MAINTENANCE SECTION OF THIS MANUAL FOR INSTRUCTIONS. IF THE RIM HAS BEEN CLAMPED FROM THE OUTSIDE FOR TIRE MOUNTING, RELEASE THE CLAMPS ONCE BEAD SEAL IS OBTAINED.

WARNING: TIRE FAILURE UNDER PRESSURE IS HAZARDOUS. THIS TIRE CHANGER IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A SAFETY DEVICE TO CONTAIN EXPLODING TIRES, TUBES, WHEELS, OR BEAD SEALING EQUIPMENT. INSPECT TIRE AND WHEEL CAREFULLY FOR MATCH, WEAR, OR DEFECTS BEFORE MOUNTING. ALWAYS FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

Position One - Tire Pressure: With the Inflation Hose attached to the tire valve and the pedal in this position, the air gauge will register the air pressure in the tire. Whenever your foot is removed from the pedal, it will return to this position.

Tire Inflation: With the Inflation Hose attached to the tire valve and the pedal depressed, line pressure is allowed to flow through the valve and into the tire for inflation. Tire pressure is not indicated on the gauge in this position.

[Diagram illustrating the inflation process, showing an air fill hose connected to a tire.]

WARNING: CHECK THE FUNCTION OF THE PRESSURE LIMITER REGULARLY. MAINTAIN IT ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED IN THIS MANUAL FOR SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION. DO NOT TAMPER WITH OR ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE PRESSURE LIMITER. TIRES REQUIRING INFLATION BEYOND 60 PSI SHOULD ONLY BE INFLATED IN A SAFETY CAGE.

Tire Inflation: The unit is equipped with a Pressure Limiter/Regulator to assist the operator with proper tire inflation. The Pressure Limiter will keep most car and light truck tires from inflating beyond 60 PSI. It is the operator's responsibility to follow all instructions and to control inflation pressure as specified in these instructions.

Stage of Inflation

WARNING: THIS MACHINE IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A RESTRAINING DEVICE FOR EXPLODING TIRES, TUBES, OR RIMS. KEEP HANDS AND BODY CLEAR AT ALL TIMES AND AS FAR BACK AS POSSIBLE DURING INFLATION. DO NOT LEAN OVER THE TIRE WHILE INFLATING. AN EXPLODING TIRE, RIM OR OTHER WHEEL COMPONENT CAN CAUSE DEATH TO OPERATOR AND/OR BYSTANDERS.

WARNING: THIS OBJECT IS A RESTRAINT DEVICE ONLY. IT WILL NOT PROTECT OPERATORS IN THE EVENT OF CATASTROPHIC TIRE/WHEEL RUPTURE OR FAILURE. ALWAYS USE EXTREME CAUTION DURING THE INFLATION PROCEDURE. AS AN ADDED SAFETY PRECAUTION, SAFETY CAGES THAT CONFORM TO OSHA STANDARD 1910 177 ARE RECOMMENDED.

BEAD SEALING

• Position valve stem in front of operator and connect the inflation hose after removing the valve core.
• Step on the inflation pedal to allow air to flow into the tire and seal the beads.

TO SEAL LOW PROFILE OR DIFFICULT BEADS, USE THE TURBO

WARNING: NEVER POINT NOZZLE TOWARDS YOURSELF OR OTHER PERSONS. INSPECT NOZZLE, TIRE AND WHEEL FOR DEBRIS. NOZZLE MUST BE POINTED TOWARD TIRE BEAD AREA. HOLD NOZZLE SECURELY WITH BOTH HANDS AT ALL TIMES. NEVER OPERATE THE NOZZLE WITHOUT A TIRE AND WHEEL POSITIONED ON THE TABLE.

BLAST TO SEAL THE BEAD

• To Open the Slide Valve, PUSH the Slide Valve Forward.
• To Close, PULL the Slide Valve closed.

[Diagram showing the turbo blast nozzle in 'Closed' position and a diagram of the slide valve.]

• Position the Turbo Blast Nozzle to direct air towards the Rim Center just under the Rim Lip.
• Depress inflation pedal and open the Turbo-Blast Valve for less than one full second. The blast of air from the Turbo Blast Nozzle will expand the tire and seal the beads.
• Repeat these steps if beads have not sealed. It will be necessary to wait a few seconds for the air storage tank to recover before attempting again. If tire and wheel are properly lubricated and the operator cannot achieve bead seal after a few attempts, check to see if the valve core has been removed from the valve stem to allow more air flow into the tire to assist with bead seal. After bead seal is achieved, remove the chuck and reinstall the valve core.

BEAD SEATING

Bead seating usually occurs on the long-tapered side of the wheel first and the shorter side last. Bead seating will usually require at least 7 PSI in the tire. 40 PSI is the maximum safe pressure at this stage regardless of tire operating pressure. Most European import cars and many aftermarket alloy wheels are very tight and can be difficult to bead seat. Also note that asymmetrical hump and run-flat tires are extremely difficult to bead seat. Follow tire manufacturer's recommended procedure for bead seating.

WARNING: OPERATOR SHOULD KEEP HANDS, ARMS, AND ENTIRE BODY AWAY FROM THE TIRE DURING THE FOLLOWING BEAD SEAT AND INFLATION PROCEDURES. DO NOT STAND OVER TIRE, AS PERSONAL INJURY COULD RESULT FROM INFLATING TIRE.

• Once tire pressure is indicated on the air gauge (inflation pedal depressed), continue to inject air into the tire in short intervals. Check the pressure frequently. Stand back during bead seat. Keep hands, arms, and entire body away from the tire during this procedure. Tire beads should move outward and "pop" into their bead seat position as pressure inside the tire increases. If this does not happen, a problem exists. Investigate carefully.
• Release air pressure from the tire by pressing the manual Pressure Relief Valve.

WARNING: NEVER ATTEMPT TO MOUNT AND INFLATE MISMATCHED TIRES AND WHEELS. MISMATCHED TIRE AND WHEEL COMBINATIONS CAN EXPLODE, CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO OPERATOR AND BYSTANDERS. FOR SAFETY,

WARNING: CHECK TIRE PRESSURE FREQUENTLY. NEVER EXCEED 40 PSI WHILE SEATING BEADS. ONCE SEATED, NEVER EXCEED TIRE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED AIR PRESSURE. TIRES CAN EXPLODE, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE INFLATED BEYOND THEIR LIMITS. AT ALL PRESSURE LEVELS WHEN INFLATING THROUGH THE VALVE STEM, KEEP HANDS, ARMS, AND ENTIRE BODY AWAY FROM INFLATING TIRE. IF OPERATOR IS UNABLE TO OBTAIN BEAD SEAT, SOMETHING IS WRONG. DEFLATE TIRE COMPLETELY, INSPECT TIRE AND WHEEL, CORRECT ANY PROBLEMS FOUND, RE-LUBRICATE BOTH TIRE BEADS, AND REATTEMPT BEAD SEAL AND SEAT PROCEDURES. FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL AND ON MACHINE.

STAGE FOUR / TIRE INFLATION

• Make sure both beads are seated. When both beads are seated, the tire is ready for inflation.
• Replace the valve core if it was removed.
• Depress the Inflation Pedal to inflate the tire. DO NOT STAND OVER TIRE DURING INFLATION.

• Do not inflate the tire above the manufacturer's recommended pressure as stamped on the tire sidewall. The typical inflation pressure for automobile tires is between 24 and 45 PSI. Light truck inflation pressure typically covers a wider range. Release air pressure from the tire by pressing the manual Pressure Relief Valve.

[An image of a safety cage designed to contain a tire during high-pressure inflation.]

NOTE: WHEN INFLATING TIRES THAT REQUIRE MORE THAN 60 PSI, ALWAYS USE A SAFETY CAGE AND AIR HOSE WITH A CLIP-ON AIR CHUCK AND IN-LINE VALVE. THE HOSE MUST HAVE ENOUGH LENGTH BETWEEN THE CHUCK AND THE OPERATION/IN-LINE VALVE TO ALLOW THE TECHNICIAN TO OPERATE SAFELY.

BEFORE MAKING ANY INSPECTION, ADJUSTMENT, OR REPAIR, DISCONNECT THE POWER SOURCE AND/OR AIR SUPPLY AND BLOCK OUT ALL MOVING PARTS TO PREVENT INJURY.

KEEP THE MACHINE AND THE IMMEDIATE WORK AREA CLEAN. DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR TO REMOVE DIRT AND DEBRIS FROM THE MACHINE. FOREIGN MATERIAL MAY BE PROPELLED.
