MAIN OPERATING
ELEMENTS
ATTENTION
Learn to know your machine: knowing ex-
actly how it works is the best guarantee of
safety and performance. Learn the function
and position of all the commands. Carefully
check that each machine command works
correctly. To avoid accidents and injury, the
equipment must be properly installed, cor-
rectly operated and subjected to regular
maintenance interventions.

Artiglio 50 - Kit PAX System 33

SET-UP
Preliminary checks
Check, on the gauge of the regulator filter +
lubricator unit, the presence of a minimum
pressure of 7 bar.
Check that the machine has been correctly
connected to the electrical power supply.
Special instructions
PAX System wheels with clipped insert
Some PAX System wheels are fitted with a
clipped insert (fig.8). In particular, they have
a groove around the circumference of the
outer edge of the rim. In this groove, there is
the clip of the insert. During the assembly of
the insert, it is therefore necessary to ensure
the correct coupling of the parts.
How to establish from which
side of the wheel the tyre
should be removed
See fig.8. On the PAX wheel, identify the
side with the diameter of the smaller rim A
and the diameter of the larger rim B.
The removal or assembly of the tyre must be
carried out by positioning the PAX wheel on
the turntable, with the side with the diam-
eter of the smaller rim A facing upwards.

Instructions for choosing the
substitute tyre
To take the greatest advantage of the char-
acteristics offered by a tyre, and to obtain
the necessary guarantees of safety during
the use, it is important to follow a series of
precautions when choosing it, and when
setting it up.
The dimensional and construction charac-
teristics, as well as the service characteris-
tics, can be identified via the words visible
on the side of the tyre cover.
Breaking down the designation of the meas-
urement of the tyre cover (e.g. 195/620 R
420 A - see fig.9) into its various elements,
you obtain the information required to set
up the machine correctly. In particular, the
value in millimetres of the outer diameter
of the rim of the PAX wheel being worked
(from the example above: 420).

Extracting the upper bead
Fig. 14 - (common procedure for Pax Sys-
tem with full-width or clipped support)
- Press the turntable rotation pedal and,
using the pneumatic command, gradually
begin the bead removal. At the same time,
lubricate the bead with a lubricating spray
(of the type recommended by the tyre
manufacturer) or, if no liquid lubricant is
available, with the special spray - fig. 14a.
- With the roller pressing against the bead,
you are advised to make the wheel com-
plete at least a couple of turns, in order
to soften the tension of the bead.
- In the space thus obtained between the
bead and the rim edge, the reglette will
be inserted - fig.14b.
- Insert the reglette as shown in fig.14c.
N.B.:
The reglette is inserted between the rim edge
and the bead (fig.15a). It is equipped with
a notch that allows you to insert the end of
the bead breaker lever.
ATTENTION
A reglette can be used for more than one
disassembly. It is necessary to check its
condition first, however. If the tang of the
reglette shows signs of wear and tear, you
are advised to replace it with a new one.

Inserting the reglette
Fig.15 - The reglette has a precise insertion
direction. The part with the seat for the lever
should be kept towards the outside of the
wheel. During the rotation movement to in-
sert the reglette, the tang of the reglette must
pass below the cylindrical roller - fig.15a.
- Raise the roller, using the pneumatic com-
mand lever fig.15b
- Insert the lever in the seat of the reglette fig.15c
- Raise the bead, levering towards the centre
of the wheel fig.15d
ATTENTION
Before raising the bead, it is important
to check that the lever is well inserted
under it.
Once the bead has been removed, extract
the reglette from the tyre immediately
fig.16
ATTENTION
Take care not to drop the reglette inside
the tyre. There is the risk that it will be left
inside during the subsequent assembly.
ATTENTION
Be very careful to avoid any contact be-
tween the bead of the tyre and the pres-
sure transducer, or between this and the
disassembly/assembly tools. Contact, with
abnormal stress, can damage the sensors
or create defects in the seal between the
valve and the rim.
