•Always cover the electric motor and switch box before cleaning the tire changer. Be sure water or
cleaner does not enter the motor or switch box.
•Always disconnect the electric power and air supply before attempting any maintenance.
Demounting & Mounting
•Always clean and inspect the wheel prior to any service.
•Never stand on the frame or work table while demounting or mounting a tire.
•Always keep hands, feet, and other objects away from moving parts while the machine is turned on.
•Always place the narrow bead seat to the outside when clamping. Failure to demount the tire from
the narrow bead seat side may cause damage to the tire beads.
•Always apply an approved rubber lubricant to rim flanges and both tire beads before demounting
or mounting and seating the beads.
•Never mount a tire on a damaged or rusty wheel as tire or wheel failure may result during inflation.
Explosion from failure may result in severe injury or death of the operator and bystanders.
Inflation
•Always be sure the bead opposite the tool is in the drop center before rotating the tire when
demounting or mounting to avoid damage to the tire beads.
•Always follow all applicable Local, State, and Federal Codes, Rules, and Regulations; such as the
Federal OSHA Standard Number 1910.177.
•Always use an approved inflation chamber or inflation cage equipped with a self-gripping chuck
and remote inflation gauge and valve.
•Always inflate the tire to manufacturer’s recommended cold operating pressure.
•DO NOT OVER INFLATE! Tire or wheel failure during and after inflation may result in an
explosion capable of causing severe injury or death.
•Never reinflate a tire that has been run under inflated or flat without first demounting the tire and
checking for wheel and tire damage.
•Always inspect the tire interior for loose or broken cords, cuts, penetrating objects, and other
damage. Discard tires that cannot be properly repaired.
•Never rework, weld, heat or braze wheels.
•Never strike the tire or wheel with a hammer.
•Always be sure the tire diameter exactly matches the wheel diameter.
Danger!
Tire failure under pressure can be hazardous. When possible, always place wheels inside an approved
inflation chamber or cage before inflating. Use an approved remote inflation valve, hose, and gauge. Always
wear safety goggles for eye protection. Do not stand beside the wheel or cage during inflation. Keep hands
and other parts of the body out of the cage during inflation. Observe the tire pressure frequently. Do not
