1.3 Operation
1.3.1 Review of the different functions
Before using the tyre changer, control and check all functions with the operating part to ensure the
machine is working properly. This should be done before each mounting process.
WARNING!
When operating the tyre changer, pay attention to all moving parts. Make
sure there is enough safety clearance so that the moving parts do not contact
you. Make sure there are no other people in the work area.
WARNING!
Always keep enough safety clearance when loosening the mounting arm so
that it does not tilt outwards under tension.
WARNING!
Ensure that there are no persons or objects in the working area of the
machine.
WARNING!
When closing the chuck, the process must be stopped immediately when the
minimum position is reached.
When tightening the rim, stop immediately when the maximum pressure is
reached. For aluminium rims, check the clamping pressure and set it lower if
required.
Failure to comply with this instruction may result in serious damage to the
tyre changer.
1.3.2 Precautions during tyre mounting
Before mounting the tyre, the following precautions must be observed:
Only mount undamaged, clean, dry rims and tyres that are in good condition.
Remove old balance weights.
Check rim and tyre for damage, especially aluminium rims. Do not mount if damaged.
Check that the rim and tyre size match.
Before dismantling, let all air out of the tyre.
Before mounting, coat the rim and tyre well with tyre lubricant to avoid damage.
Always use a new valve.
The tyre changer is not splash-proof, so do not clean wheels on the machine with water jets.

1.3.3. Operating the tyre changer
This instruction manual only details the function of the machine; it does not replace professional training
and qualification of operating personnel.
WARNING!
All tyre changers have movable or adjustable controls. It is essential to ensure
that the operator always finds a working position where he can safely track
and view all work steps.
1.3.4. Clamping the wheel
WARNING!
When tightening the rim, make sure that the clamping jaws are correctly
positioned on the rim to prevent the wheel from falling down.
There are different types of truck rims (Fig. 8 E/1-E6).
Use the four clamping jaws to select the appropriate clamp for the rim.
Place the tyre on the inside of the table for the mounting arm.
Move the table until just before the clamping jaws.
Lower the clamping head to the centre of the rim.
Open the clamping jaws until they are smaller than the diameter of the mounting hole.

First, the tyre bead must be completely pressed off from both sides
of the rim with the bead breaker roller. During this process, the
mounting paste is applied to the rim and the tyre bead.
Start with the upper bead.
Place the bead breaker roller on the outside of the tyre. In order to
complete the assembly without any damage, the roller must be
positioned around 1 cm from the edge of the rim flange.

Inflating the tyre
The maximum tyre pressure may not exceed 3.5 bar.
All parts of the body should be kept away from the tyre.
During operation the noise level can reach 85 dB (A), so the operator should take
appropriate protective measures.
A tyre explosion under pressure can be very dangerous. A tyre explosion can cause
serious injury to the operator and may even be fatal.
Inflate the tyre only after placing the wheel in an approved inflation chamber.
Do not stand in the vicinity of the wheel or cage during inflation.
Do not exceed the maximum inflation pressure recommended by the manufacturer.
Ensure that the tyre has been fully lubricated.
Start the inflation process.
If the air volume of the tyre inflator is not sufficient to push the tyre
over the wheel rim, you can increase the air volume by removing
the inner valve. This must be replaced quickly afterwards.
Ensure that the tyre has been inflated to the correct pressure.
Consult the manufacturer’s specifications to establish this.
If the tyre pressure is too low, this can lead to increased wear and
decrease the service life of the tyre. The inside of the tyre can also
be damaged.
The tyre pressure must be checked once a week.
Only check the tyre pressure at normal tyre temperatures (i.e. the
vehicle has not been driven for more than an hour and not more
than 2-3 km)
