Operator Protective Equipment
Personal protective equipment helps make tire ser-
vicing safer. However, equipment does not take the
place of safe operating practices. Always wear durable
work clothing during tire service activity. Loose fitting
clothing should be avoided. Tight fitting leather gloves
are recommended to protect operator’s hands when
handling worn tires and wheels. Sturdy leather work
shoes with steel toes and oil resistant soles should be
used by tire service personnel to help prevent injury
in typical shop activities. Eye protection is essential
during tire service activity. Safety glasses with side
shields, goggles, or face shields are acceptable. Back
belts provide support during lifting activities and are also
helpful in providing operator protection. Consideration
should also be given to the use of hearing protection if
tire service activity is performed in an enclosed area, or
if noise levels are high.

Remember R.I.M.
Three Simple Steps To Help Keep Shops Safe
R.I.M. is a training program developed by Hennessy Industries to help keep tire technicians safe. By following
the basic principles of R.I.M., technicians can avoid situations that can cause catastrophic accidents like tire explo-
sions.
R.I.M. stands for read, inspect, and mount:
Read the tire size on a new tire before mounting to make sure it is the proper size for the wheel.
Inspect the wheel for cracks, rust, and or other damage that could cause an unsafe situation.
Mount the tire safely, making sure not to put any part of your body over the tire during inflation.
The most serious of possible accidents is a tire explosion. This is often caused by a tire/rim mismatch.
If a tire explodes on a tire changer, pressure causes it to fly straight up at tremendous speed. If a technician is
standing over the tire, he can be seriously injured or killed.
Hennessy’s R.I.M. program allows the technician to avoid situations that can cause tire explosions and other
accidents. The full program, including training videos, brochures, posters, and other materials, are available from
Coats distributors nationwide.

Use lifting equipment of suitable load-bearing capacity that is able to take the weight of the tire changer.
To lift the machine (fig. 2), use a transport strap with minimum load-bearing capacity of 970 lb. (440 kg).
After tire changer positioning, take off the transport strap.
After having positioned the machine, in its final
location, remove the accidental tilting safety pin from the
arm (fig. 3).
Put the pin together with the other standard
accessories delivered with the machine, for any future
need.

Important: Always read and follow operating instructions. • 11
Set Up
Connect the machine to the electrical power supply, which must have line fuses and an efficient grounding
system, meeting current standards. It must also be connected to an automatic differential 20A circuit breaker.
NOTE: If the machine is not supplied with an electrical plug, the user shall install a 20A plug that is suitable for
the voltage of the machine and complies with current standards.
Connect the machine to the compressed air supply using the fitting on the lubricator on the back of the
machine.
Loosen the control panel bracket locking cap screw and pivot cap screw, adjust it to a convenient position
for operation, then tighten the cap screw.

12 • Important: Always read and follow operating instructions.
Wheel Clamping Operation with Smart Lock
1. Check the correct wheel positioning on the clamping chuck.
Insert SMART LOCK making the centering cone fit the rim hole
correctly, leaving no space among SMART LOCK nut, the rim and the
Tire-Changer clamping chuck.
2. Keeping the handle pressed down (to avoid residual play),
tilt the locking lever vertically.
3. During wheel clamping operation the Quick-Release system moves
automatically to hooking position (click).
Check the perfect wheel locking onto the clamping chuck before
performing any bead breaking, demounting or mounting operation.
Wheel Unlocking
4. Once the operations on the wheel are completed,
lift up the Quick-Release system outer sleeve.
5. Tilt down the locking lever to unlock SMART LOCK,
in order to pull out the locking nut and remove the
wheel from the clamping chuck.
Plastic protection to avoid
any damage to alloy rim
Tightening Adjustment
The clamping force of SMART LOCK could be loosened after a long time use by a progressive wearing of some
components, this revealed by a progressive slack of the locking lever.
To restore / increase / decrease the SMART LOCK tightening: press the yellow adjustment button and,
by means of the adjustment knob, start turning manually the conical terminal thus acting on the expanding nut.
Then, release the button and keep on turning the conical terminal until the button pops up again.

Important: Always read and follow operating instructions. • 13
Positioning the Valve
Fig. 6 shows a rim in the form of a clock. In the following
Mounting and Demounting process steps, you will position
the rim with clock directions, so that the valve and pressure
sensor do not get damaged.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the valve and pressure sensor,
(if installed) you must always arrange the valve in
the position indicated, following the instructions
when mounting and demounting the tire. fig.6
Tire Classification
LOW PROFILE tires (UHP) are those in which the height (H) and the width (C) have a ratio lower than 0.5 (i.e.
low profile series 45 stands for a ratio of H/C = 0.45).
For tires to be considered as LOW PROFILE (UHP), they must also have a maximum speed code of equal to
or higher than V.
RUN-FLAT tires are those which, even when they have no internal pressure, allow you to continue to drive the
vehicle for a preset number of miles and at a preset speed. These parameters change from one manufacturer to
another. The market currently offers 2 different types of RUN-FLAT tires:
• Those with REINFORCED SIDE (SELF-SUPPORTING) where, thanks to a different mix and a reinforced
structure, the shoulder of the tire is able to bear the weight of the vehicle even when the pressure in the tire
is zero.
• Those with INTERNAL SUPPORT have a ring inside the rim that bears the side of the tire when there is no
pressure inside it. The internal support may be made of plastic or metal.
The tire changer is able to handle all types of LOW PROFILE (UHP) and all types of RUN-FLAT tires with
REINFORCED SIDE; for other types, refer to the specific instructions of the dedicated accessories, if available.
The mounting and demounting procedure is the same, be it a RUN-FLAT tire with REINFORCED SIDE (SELF-
SUP-PORTING) or a LOW PROFILE tire (UHP).
CAUTION
It is crucial to follow the instructions very carefully in order to avoid irreparable damages to the tire,
which could compromise the vehicle’s safety.

14 • Important: Always read and follow operating instructions.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
TPMS, Tire Pressure Monitoring System is an electronic system designed to monitor the air pressure inside the
tires through special sensors mounted inside the wheels, which provide real-time tire-pressure information and
inside temperature data to the vehicle’s electronic control unit. Tire pressure system alerts the driver when the
tire pressure falls 20% below the recommended pressure, thus increasing your safety on the road.
This chapter describes the correct positioning of TPMS valve during the different working stages, in order to
avoid any damage.
Bead Loosening:
Place TPMS valve at “2:00 o’clock” position.
Start pushing on the tire bead using the upper
bead loosening disk.
Demounting tool positioning:
Place TPMS valve at “2:00 o’clock” position. Bring the
demounting tool into working position. While spinning the
wheel, insert the demounting tool into the drop center
level. Stop tire rotation when the valve reaches 11 o’clock
position.
Upper Bead demounting:
Spin the clamping chuck (clockwise) by pressing pedal 1
until the valve reaches “1 o’clock” position (at about 10 cm
from the demounting tool) so as to avoid possible damages
to the TPMS valve.
Warning: Rim and Tire must spin together as one,
during bead demounting operations, to avoid displacement
of TPMS sensor.
Lower Bead demounting, with demounting tool:
Place TPMS valve below the demounting tool at
“12:00 o’clock” position.
Lower Bead demounting, with bead loosening disk:
Place TPMS valve towards the bead loosening disk.
Lower Bead mounting:
Place TPMS valve at “5:00 o’clock” position, in any case
at about 10 cm from traction point.
Upper Bead mounting:
Place TPMS valve at “5:00 o’clock” position, in any case
at about 10 cm from traction point.
