READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING
TO USE YOUR NEW TIRE CHANGER.
1) THIS TIRE CHANGER OPERATES ON COMPRESSED AIR AND ELECTRICITY.
YOU MUST DISCONNECT THE TIRE MACHINE FROM BOTH POWER SOURCES
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL, REPAIR, OR MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE
TIRE CHANGER. COMPRESSED AIR IS STORED IN THE INFLATION TANK AND
AIR SUPPLY SYSTEM OF THE TIRE CHANGER. ALL COMPRESSED AIR MUST BE
EVACUATED FROM THE MACHINE BEFORE ANY REPAIRS CAN BE ATTEMPTED.
COMPRESSED AIR IS VERY DANGEROUS. AIR CAN BE EVACUATED FROM THE
SYSTEM BY PRESSING AND RELEASING ALL AIR CONTROL FOOT PEDALS.
THE SOUND OF ESCAPING AIR WILL CEASE AS THE COMPRESSED AIR IS
PURGED FROM THE SYSTEM. USE COMMON SENSE.
2) ALL REPAIR WORK SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED,
MECHANICALLY INCLINED PERSON. ANY COMPETENT PERSON THAT IS ABLE
TO UNDERSTAND WRITTEN AND SPOKEN (ENGLISH) INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD
BE ABLE TO INSTALL AND SERVICE THIS MACHINE. IF YOU ARE NOT

SKILLS TO HELP INSTALL YOUR TIRE CHANGER OR MAKE ANY NECESSARY
FUTURE REPAIRS. REMEMBER TO DISCONNECT THE TIRE CHANGER FROM
ALL POWER SOURCES BEFORE MAKING ANY REPAIRS OR ADJUSTMENTS.
3) KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND DRY. ALLOW PLENTY OF ROOM TO INSTALL
YOUR TIRE CHANGER. MAKE SURE THAT ALL MOVING PARTS OF THE TIRE
CHANGER REMAIN UNOBSTRUCTED WHEN THE MACHINE IS IN OPERATION.
4) THE TIRE CHANGER IS TO BE USED BY PERSONS 16 YEARS OR OLDER, THAT
ARE SKILLED IN THE OPERATION OF AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE EQUIPMENT.
5) KEEP SMALL CHILDREN AWAY FROM WORK AREA. SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY MAY OCCUR IF THE MACHINE IS NOT OPERATED PROPERLY.
6) STORAGE OF EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE IN A DRY AREA TO INHIBIT RUST. IF
THE MACHINE IS NOT TO BE USED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. PLEASE
DISCONNECT FROM BOTH THE ELECTRICAL AND AIR SUPPLY.
7) DO NOT WEAR LOOSE FITTING CLOTHES OR JEWELRY WHEN OPERATING
YOUR TIRE CHANGER. Moving machine parts (while in operation) could become
tangled with loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair resulting in personal injury or death.

8) PAY ATTENTION AT ALL TIMES WHEN OPERATING THE TIRE CHANGER. DO
NOT USE THE MACHINE IF YOU ARE TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. STAY ALERT AT ALL TIMES. USE COMMON SENSE. KEEP
HANDS AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS.
9) CHECK THE TIRE CHANGER FOR DAMAGED OR WORN PARTS BEFORE
OPERATING. Damaged or worn parts will affect the performance of the tire changer.
These defective parts may cause personal injury or damage to the wheel/tire assembly.
REPLACE ANY DAMAGED OR WORN PARTS IMMEDIATELY; TO ASSURE
PROPER PERFORMANCE OF YOUR TIRE CHANGER.
10) REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES. Use only authorized replacement parts
for your tire changer. Counterfeit parts or accessories may result in damage to the machine,
wheel/tire assembly, or personal injury. Authorized parts are only available from your
distributor.
11) PERIODIC MAINTENANCE SHOULD BE PERFORMED AT REGULARLY
SCHEDULED INTERVALS. Daily inspection of the machine and a weekly maintenance
schedule will keep your machine working at optimal performance. Maintenance should be
performed by qualified personnel.
12) DO NOT USE THE MACHINE FOR TASKS THAT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE. The tire
changer bead breaker is NOT designed to crush rims
13) MAKE SURE THE MACHINE CAN BE EASILY DISCONNECTED FROM THE AIR
AND ELECTRIC POWER SOURCES. The electrical disconnect socket and the air
disconnect coupler should be in close proximity to the operator, in case the machine needs
to be quickly disconnected from either power source.

1) BEFORE PERFORMING ANY SERVICES OR MAINTENANCE; ALWAYS
DISCONNECT THE TIRE CHANGER FROM ITS AIR SUPPLY SOURCE. DEPRESS
AND RELEASE AIR ACTUATED PEDALS SEVERAL TIMES TO EVACUATE ALL
COMPRESSED AIR FROM THE MACHINE AND DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD
FROM ITS ELECTRICAL SUPPLY SOURCE. (Don’t forget about the bead breaker)
2) TIRE CHANGER OPERATES ON CLEAN, DRY, COMPRESSED AIR REGULATED TO
125 PSI. DO NOT EXCEED 150 PSI INLET PRESSURE TO THE REGULATOR OR
MACHINE DAMAGE COULD OCCUR. AIR REGULATOR ON THE SIDE OF
MACHINE SHOULD BE SET NO HIGHER THEN 125 PSI.
3) THE AUTOMATIC OILER PROVIDES LUBRICATION TO THE MOVING PARTS OF
THE TIRE CHANGER. IF THE AUTOMATIC OILER IS NOT USED, ADD TWO DROPS
OF AIR TOOL OIL (DAILY) TO THE AIR SUPPLY LINE. THIS WILL HELP TO
PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LUBRICATION TO THE MOVING PARTS AND SEALS.
4) ALWAYS INFLATE THE TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE RECOMMENDED BY THE
TIRE MANUFACTURER. NEVER OVER INFLATE THE TIRE.
5) MAKE SURE THAT THE TIRE AND RIM SIZE ARE A PERFECT MATCH. SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY WILL RESULT IF THE TIRE SIZE AND RIM SIZE ARE
DIFFERENT AND THE INFLATED TIRE “BLOWS OFF” THE RIM WHEN INFLATED.
ALWAYS DISPOSE OF OLD TIRES ACCORDING TO LOCAL AND NATIONAL TIRE
DISPOSAL REGULATIONS.
6) TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR TIRE MACHINE DAMAGE, ALWAYS MAKE
SURE THE RIM IS FIRMLY SECURED ON THE TIRE CHANGER (with the clamping
jaws) BEFORE REMOVING, INSTALLING, OR INFLATING A TIRE.
7) NEVER PLACE YOUR HANDS BETWEEN THE WHEEL RIM AND THE JAWS
DURING THE LOCKING/CLAMPING STAGE. THE AIR OPERATED CLAMPING
JAWS EXERT AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF PRESSURE AND SEVERE PERSONAL
INJURY MAY OCCUR IF ANY EXTREMITIES ARE “CAUGHT” IN THE JAWS.

TO PRELIMINARY OPERATING TESTS
STEP 1: Connect the tire changer to its air and electrical supply sources, and allow adequate
time for the compressed air system to reach the recommended 150-PSI.
STEP 2: Depress the Reverse Pedal (3, Fig2) down; the turntable should turn in a clockwise
direction. Pull the pedal up and the turntable should turn anticlockwise.
STEP 3: Press the bead breaker pedal (1, Fig2) to activate the paddle.
When the pedal is released. The pedal should return to its original position.
STEP 4: Press the jaw clamp pedal (2, Fig.2) once to open the four jaws.
Press the pedal again to close the jaws.
TO BREAK TIRE BEAD:
CAUTION: Before you attempt to break the bead, the tire must be deflated fully.
This can be done by removing the valve core and allowing all the air to escape.
Remember that old tire/wheel assemblies and “junk yard” rims require special
considerations. The bead breaker system is very powerful, but certain older rims may
have been galled to the tires and it may be difficult for these “beads to be broken”.
Rust penetrating fluid will help to “loosen” the wheel and tire assembly before the
bead breaker is used. Frozen tires will also present a unique “bead breaking”
experience and care must be used when dealing with frozen wheel assemblies. All
wheel weights should be removed before breaking the bead or changing the tire.
STEP 1: Close the turntable clamping jaws completely (Fig. 3). This will prevent tires from
striking the turntable slides during the bead breaking process.

15
STEP 2: Open the bead breaker arm by hand. Place the wheel up against the Rubber Wheel
Support. Position the Bead Breaker Paddle against the bead (where the tire and the
rim meet…but the paddle needs to be held on the tire area…not the rim). (see Fig.4 )
STEP 3: Depress the bead breaker pedal fully to activate the paddle (Fig 5). Release pressure
on the bead breaker pedal when the blade has reached the end of its travel and / or
when the tire bead becomes free of the rim (“Broken”).
STEP 4: Rotate the tire slightly, and repeat the procedure around the entire circumference of
the wheel rim, until the bead is completely detached from the rim. (Fig.5)
STEP 5: Repeat the above steps for the other side of the wheel / tire.

Fig. 8
TO REMOVE THE TIRE FROM THE WHEEL:
CAUTION: Before carrying out this procedure; make sure the bead is broken free on
the wheel and all wheel weights are removed.
STEP 1: Spread tire lubricant liberally on the complete circumference of the broken tire bead.
NOTE: Failure to lubricate the tire bead may cause serious damage to the bead or tire
changer.
STEP 2: Place the wheel / tire evenly on the turntable.
To lock the wheel on the turntable, proceed as follows according to the wheel size:
OUTSIDE CLAMPING:
1. Position the four jaws by depressing the
jaw clamping pedal (Fig. 7) halfway
down.
2. Place the wheel on the four jaws and,
while keeping the wheel rim pressed
down, depress the jaw clamp pedal as far
as it will go.
3. As the jaws move in they will lock the
wheel. Check to make sure the wheel is
firmly secured by the jaws.
INSIDE CLAMPING:
1. Operate the clamping pedal until the
four jaws are completely closed (Fig 8).
2. Place the wheel over all four jaws.
Depress the jaw clamping pedal to open
the jaws, this will lock the wheel in
place.
3. Check to make sure the wheel is firmly
secured by the jaws.

STEP 3: Lower the hex shaft until the mount/demount head (Fig. 9) rests next to the wheel and
on top of the tire. Then, lock the hex shaft in position, using the lock lever (Fig. 10,
11)
STEP 4: Insert the lever between the tire bead and the front section of the mounting head (Fig. 12).
STEP 5: Move the tire bead over the mounting head by pulling the lever over the
mount/demount head, and briefly pushing upward on the reverse pedal (Fig. 13).
NOTE: To avoid damaging the inner tube (if there is one), it is recommended to
perform step 7 with the inner tube valve stem positioned about 1” to the right of the
mounting head.
STEP 6: With the lever (Fig. 13) held in position, rotate the turntable in a clockwise direction
by fully depressing the reverse pedal. Continue until the tire is completely separated
from the wheel.
STEP 7: Remove the inner tube (if there is one), and repeat the above steps 6 through 9 for the
bottom side of the wheel / tire (See Fig. 14, 15).
Fig. 11
Fig. 13

18
TO MOUNT THE TIRE ONTO THE WHEEL:
CAUTION: Before carrying out this procedure, deflate the tire fully, and remove all
the wheel weights.
STEP 1: Spread tire lubricant liberally on the complete circumference of the tire bead to avoid
damage to the tire bead to avoid damage to the tire and to facilitate the mounting
procedure (Fig.16).
STEP 2: Lock the wheel, using the inner part of the clamping jaws.
NOTE: When you are working with wheels of the same size, it is not always
necessary to lock and unlock the hex shaft. Instead, move the swing arm sideways
with the hex shaft locked.
STEP 3: Move the tire so that the bead passes below the front section of the mounting head and
is brought up against the edge of the rear section of the mounting head. (See Fig. 17)
Keep the tire bead pressed down into the wheel rim channel with your hands (Fig. 18).
Keep hands clear of the mounting head. Then, depress the reverse pedal to rotate the
turntable clockwise. Continue this process throughout the entire circumference of the
wheel and tire.
STEP 4: Insert the inner tube (if there is one).
STEP 5: Repeat the steps above the mount the other side of the tire.

Fig. 17 Fig. 18

19
TO INFLATE THE TIRE:
CAUTION: An over inflated tire can fail, causing serious injury or even death to the
operator. Always make sure the wheel and the tire are of the same size. Check the
condition of the tire, and make sure it has no defects before beginning the inflation
process. Keep your hands and body as far away from the tire as possible. Inflate the
tire with brief jets of air, checking the air pressure frequently.
Never inflate a tire above and or below the air pressure recommended by the tire
manufacturer.
STEP 1: To inflate the tire, attach the air hose nozzle to the tire valve stem with the locking
lever in the “UP” position. Check the condition of the tire, and make sure the nozzle
is pressed down completely over the threads of the valve stem (Fig. 19).
STEP 2: When the air gauge nozzle is firmly in place, press the locking lever down to lock
onto the valve stem.
Remember to inflate the tire with brief jets of air, checking the air pressure frequently.
Once the proper air pressure has been reached on the gauge, disconnect the nozzle
from the valve stem and screw a valve core into the stem (Use caution when inserting
the valve core, air will blow out of the stem when the nozzle is removed). Re-attach
the nozzle and adjust the air pressure as needed.
NOTES:
Failure to follow all warnings and instructions may lead to serious personal injury or death to the
operator or a bystander.
NEVER exceed 50psi (3.5 bar) when seating beads or inflating tires.
If a higher tire inflation pressure is required, remove the wheel from the tire changer
and continue the inflation procedure with the wheel inside a special protection cage
(commercially available).
NEVER exceed the maximum inflation pressure given by the tire manufacturer.
ALWAYS keep hands and entire body back while inflating a tire.
ONLY specially trained personnel should be allowed to perform these operations.

The FRL consists of the air filter (moisture separator), pressure regulator, and lubricator. The
filter is designed to prevent excessive amounts of water (normally found in compressed air) from
contaminating the moving parts of the tire changer. The pressure regulator helps to regulate
pressure and prevent the valves, cylinders and other moving parts from being damaged by
excessive air pressure. The lubricator provides oil to the pneumatic parts located inside the tire
changer.

The air filter separates water
from the air as the air flows
into the machine. When the
water level reaches 50% of
the glass bowl, it is necessary
to drain the water by pulling
the locking ring and venting
the water.
Check the oil level in the lubricator at the
beginning of each work day. Keep the
reservoir filled with 50W SAE oil. Make
sure the air supply is disconnected from the
changer before removing the oil cap.
The oil indicato
