Tyres may burst due to the following circumstances:
1. The wheel rim and tyre are not the same size.
2. The tyre or wheel rim is damaged.
3. Thetyrehasbeeninatedbeyondthemaximumtyrepressurerecommendedbythemanufacturer.
4. The operator has not observed the safety instructions.
Proceed as follows in this case:
1. Remove the valve cap from the valve.
2. Ensure that the valve connection is pressed completely over the valve thread.
3. Ensure that the tyre and wheel rim are the same size.
4. Lubricate both the tyre bead and wheel rim with tyre mounting paste, relubricating if neces-
sary.

This activity may only be performed by specially trained personnel. Keep any persons away from the tyre changer who are
not directly involved in the procedure.
11. Transporting/relocating the machine
Please use a forklift or pallet truck to move the machine. Disconnect the tyre changer from the power supply and the pneumatic
connections, raise the baseplate and insert the forklift/pallet truck forks underneath. Then anchor the tyre

Note:
The new location of the tyre changer should also meet safety requirements.
12. Maintenance
Caution:
Maintenance work can only be carried out by appropriately trained personnel. In order to extend the
service life of the machine, it should be serviced in good time in accordance with the manual. A failure to
do so will adversely affect the reliable operation of the machine and may even increase the risk of injury to
operators and other bystanders. The average service life expectancy of the machine is about 15 years, depending on the
usage. Following this, the machine must be disposed of properly. Disconnect the unit from the terminals if the machine is not
used for a longer period of time.
Caution:
Disconnect the tyre changer from the power supply and the pneumatic connections before commencing maintenance. Actuate
the jaw opening and closing pedal and the turntable rotating pedal 3~4 times so that all the compressed air still in the machine
can escape. Damaged parts must be replaced by suitably trained personnel using spare parts provided by the manufacturer.
Clean the machine once a day after use. Remove any dirt on the turntable once a week
and grease the jaws.
The following maintenance operations must be carried out at least once a month: Check
the oil level in the oiler, topping up with SAE30 oil if necessary.
Screw on with a hexagonal wrench (E). Depending on the connection to the compressed
air, rstpressthejawopening/closingpedalorturntable rotating pedal5-6times,then
check if oil in the oiler is dripping down. A drop of oil should drip down every two rotations
during continuous operation, otherwise turn the screw (D) that control the oil inlet (Fig. 9)
usingaatscrewdriver.
