INSTALLATION __________________________________________________________
1) Attach the tire ramp (item 45) and retractor bar (item 46) to the Model 5500 with hardware provided.
Tighten nylon lock nuts enough to allow free rotation at pivot points (see page 2)
2) Position the Model 5500 on a solid level floor leaving a minimum of 36 inches of clearance on operation
sides and 24 inches of clearance on valve tray side.
3) Attach a 1/4 NPT quick coupler nipple (not provided) into the fitting located on lower frame on valve tray
side of machine. Use 1/4 inch air hose with 100 p.s.i. minimum.
OPERATION _____________________________________________________________
1) Make sure the spreader platform is in the lowest position.
2) Pull the spread hook arms out into the upright position.
3) Roll the tire up the ramp and onto the spreader platform rollers. Steady tire with hand and insert spread
hooks between tire beads.
4) Raise the spreader platform to comfortable working height using the platform lift foot valve.
5) Adjust spread hooks to proper height for the tire size being repaired. The spread hook arms are held in
position with a hitch pin. To adjust the spread hook arms, pull the hitch pin and move spread hook arm
up or down to one of the four adjustment holes. Most larger truck tires will use the uppermost adjustment
holes. Both spread hook arms must be adjusted to the same height.
6) Spread tire to desired width using the hand operated valve attached to accessory tray. If tire is lifted off
tire rollers when it is spread, the spread hook arms are positioned too high and should be lowered.
7) After tire repairs are complete, lower the spreader platform to lowest position.
8) Remove spread hook arm pressure and remove spread hook arms from the tire bead.
9) Standing at the end of the ramp, pull the tire down the ramp using both hands.
MAINTENANCE __________________________________________________________
Monthly: On the spread cylinder, remove the slotted plug from the tee fitting at the end of cylinder and put
in a few ounces of 10 or 20 weight oil. On the lift cylinder, put few ounces of oil in the ¼ inch hole in top
cover plate.
