SAFETY DEVICE
4
The tyre-changer is equipped with several safety devices to grant the utmost safety at work:
1) Check valve on the chuck opening hydraulic line (inside the rotating union, see Fig. B/1). This prevents the wheel from
falling from chuck down to oor if the hydraulic circuit accidentally breaks.
2) Pilot operated seal check valve (see Fig. B/2)
It prevents the chuck holder from falling down if the hydraulic circuit accidentally breaks.
3) Pressure relief valve. Two available, one preset at 130 bar ±10% for the self-centering chuck (ref. 1 – B/3) and one
preset at 170 bar ±10% for using the machine functions (ref. 2 – B/3).
It limits the pressure in the hydraulic circuit and ensures correct operation of the plant.
4) motors overload cut-outs (inside the electric unit). They get engaged in case the motor overheats, so preventing it from
burning out.
If the tyre-changer is equipped with the RC Radio Control, the mobile control stand is connected with the machine frame through
a steel wire that prevents the operator from going too far so working without seeing the machine.
CAUTION! Removing or tampering with safety devices represents a violation of the European Safety Regulations and relieves
the manufacturer of any and all liability for injury to persons or damage to things caused or referable to such acts.

CONTROLS DESCRIPTION
The mobile control stand (g. C) enables the operator to work at any position around the machine. On this mobile
stand the following controls are located:
- the joystick 1(1, g. C) in position A let the chuck holder move away from the tool holder; in position Bit moves
it in opposite direction; in position Dit moves the chuck arm holder rightwards and the tool holder leftwards
simultaneously (so they get close to each other); in position E it moves the chuck arm holder leftwards and the
tool holder rightwards simultaneously (so they get far from each other).
- The joystick 2 (2, g. C) controls all the tool’s movements; in position F (up) it brings the tool arm to “rest
position”; in position G (down) it brings the arm in “work position”; in position H(left) it controls 180° anti-clockwise
rotation of the tools; in position I(right) it controls opposite rotation so bringing the tools in the initial condition.
- Switch 3 (3, g. C) if pushed up to position L it makes the chuck rotate at the double of the speed set when
selecting position M(up).
- Switch 4 (4, g. C) let the chuck holder arm and the tool holder arm move at the same time either at high speed
(pos. N) or at reduced speed (pos. O)
- Switch 5 (5, g. C), if pushed up to pos. P, it let the chuck jaws open (LOCK), if pushed down to pos. Qit let
the chuck jaws close (UNLOCK)
- Switch 6 (6, g. C) let the chuck move up (pos. R) and down (pos. S)
- The balance pedal (7, g. C) let the chuck rotate in the direction shown by the arrow stuck on both pedal sides
(Tand U).
REMARKS: all the controls available in the mobile column are very sensitive, so granting the smallest movement
with the highest precision.
On the tyre-changer, knob (19, g. D) is also available for replacing the mounting tool whenever necessary (f.i. to
install the RT tubeless roller tool)

Always remember that the stronger is the tyre’s adherence to rim, the slower must be the disk’s
penetration.
7) Use the joystick (2, g. C, page 9) to move the tool arm to rest position, move it up and turn the tool by
means of the proper knob. Move the tool arm to the left of the wheel to be demounted, lower it and move it
to work position (g. G)
ATTENTION!
Do not keep your hands on the tool when moving it to work position, because they could
get trapped between tool and wheel.
5) Let the wheel rotate and, at the same time, let the bead breaking disk move forward, with a stick-slip
motion, following the rim prole as well as possible.
6) Go on until the rst bead is fully detached.
To facilitate this operation, grease tyre bead and rim edge while the wheel is rotating.
ATTENTION!
To avoid any risk when greasing the beads, make the wheel rotate CLOCKWISE if you are
greasing the outer bead, COUNTERCLOCKWISE if you are greasing the inner bead.
8) Use the joystick (1, g. C, page 9) to move chuck and tool arm until this one is in the inner side of the
wheel.
9) Use the joystick (2, g. C, page 9) to move the arm back to work position and turn the tools by 180°
Set the mobile control unit in work position
Repeat the operations described by point 5) and 6) until the second bead is fully detached.
NOTE: during bead breaking operation, the nger tool (18, g. G) can be lowered so that it won’t be an
obstacle.

- Insert the lever (17, g. I) between rim and bead, at the right of the tool.
- Keeping the lever pressed, move the wheel down until the rim edge is at about 5mm. distance from the
nger tool
- Let the wheel rotate counterclockwise, keeping the lever pressed, until the bead is fully detached.
- Move the tool arm to rest position, then bring it to the inner side of the wheel.
- turn the nger tool by 180°, insert it between rim and bead (see g. L) and move it until the bead gets
close to the rim front edge (it is recommended to perform this operation while rotating the wheel)
move the rim from tool of about 4-5 cm. as to prevent the tool from releasing the bead.
Tubeless tyres can be removed in two different ways:
1) If the wheel doesn’t present any particular difculty, after bead breaking proceed pushing the bead breaking
disk against the tyre inner side until the two beads get out of the rim (see g. H).
2) if the wheel is a SUPERSINGLE type, or particularly hard anyway, it is not possible to proceed as described
above. In this case it is necessary to use the nger tool and proceed as described below:
- move the tool arm to the outside plane of the tyre
- let the wheel rotate and, at the same time, move the nger tool forward until it is introduced between
rim and bead, well anchored to the bead (see g. I)
- move the rim from tool of about 4-5 cm. as to prevent the tool from releasing the bead.
- Move the nger tool outward until the red spot in it gets close to rim outer edge.
Set the mobile control unit in work position C (g. B/8, page 13)

- Move the nger tool until the red spot in it is about 3 cm. inside the rim.
- Insert the lever (17, g. I) between rim and bead, at the right of the tool.
- Keeping the lever pressed, move the wheel down until the rim edge is at about 5mm. distance from the
nger tool, then let the wheel turn counterclockwise until the tyre is full detached.
Set the mobile control unit in work position B (g. B/8, page 13)
ATTENTION!
The detachment of the beads might cause the tyre to fall down. Always make sure there
are no by-standers inside the working area.
MOUNTING OPERATION
Tubeless tyres can be mounted using either the disk or the nger tool
If the wheel doesn’t present any particular difculty, it is suggested to use the disk; otherwise the nger tool
will be required.
MOUNTING OPERATION WITH DISK
Proceed as follows:
1) if the rim is released by the self-centering chuck, clamp it again as described in par. “WHEEL
CLAMPING”
2) grease beads and rim
3) set the in the highest position of rim outer edge (see g. M)
4) Set the tyre on the machine baseframe and lower the chuck (taking care to keep the gripper in highest
position) to hook the rst bead to the gripper.
5) Lift the rim with hooked tyre and let it rotate counterclockwise of about 15-20 cm. The tyre will set itself
slantways.
ATTENTION!
Make sure that the gripper is well secured to the
rim.

6) Set the disk against the second bead and turn the chuck until the gripper is in the lowest position (at 6
o’clock)
7) move the disk away from the wheel
8) remove the gripper and reinstall it again in the lowest position (at 6 o’clock) but out of the second bead
(see. Fig. N)
9) turn the chuck clockwise by 90° to bring the gripper to 9 o’clock.
10) Move the disk inwards of about 1-2cm. from the rim edge, taking care to let it at about 5mm. from the
prole. Start clockwise rotation checking the second bead that, after 90° rotation, shall start slipping into the
rim groove.
11) at the end of mounting phase, move the tool away from the wheel, tilt it to rest position and remove the
gripper
12) lower the chuck until the wheel rests on the machine baseframe.
Set the mobile control unit in work position C (g. B/8)
13) close the chuck jaws completely, taking care to hold the wheel to prevent it from falling off.
ATTENTION!!
This operation can be extremely dangerous. Do it manually only if you are certain you can
keep the wheel balanced. Heavy tyres (over 110kg) and/or oversize tyres (with diameter over
130cm) shall never be lifted by hand. Let them roll on oor and lift them by means of an
adequate mechanical lifting device.
14) Move the chuck as to release the wheel
15) Move the wheel away.
NOTE: according to the tyre you are operating on, you can decide to speed up the a.m. operation,
mounting both beads at the same time:
- proceed as described in point 1,2,3,4 above, but instead of xing the gripper to only one bead (see point
4), x it to both.
- Lift the rim with the hooked tyre on it and turn it counterclockwise of about 15-20 cm. (gripper at 10
o’clock)
- Proceed as described from point 10 to 15 above.
