fast or too slow, adjust the needle valve by using a screwdriver.
Check that a drop of oil is injected into the reservoir every 5-6
times the pedal is pressed down.
c. Problems due to Misoperation and Means of Settlement
 Make sure that the machine is well grounded to avoid electric
leakage.
 To prevent industrial accidents, do not place your legs between
the bead breaker and the wheel supporter. When the bead
breaker pedal is operated the bead breaker arm moves quickly
and powerfully. Anything within its range of action can be in
danger of being crushed.
 Bead breaking with the clamps in open position can be
extremely dangerous for operator's hands.
 ALWAYS keep hands and body back from inflating tire
 To prevent industrial accidents, keep hands and other parts of
the body as far as possible from the tool arm when the table
top is turning.
 Do not place your hands on the wheel: when moving the arm to
its working position your hand could be crushed between the
rim and the mounting head.
 During bead breaking operations NEVER touch the side of the
tire.

may also use part RAA-003 on assist arm to help until the upper
bead seals against the rim.
e. NEVER exceed the maximum inflating pressure given by the tire
manufacturer.
f. Check the state of wear of the tire and that it has no defects
before beginning the inflation stage. Never exceed the pressure
3.5 bar.
7. Maintenance
a. Frequently check the compressor oil level of the oiler in the back
of the machine.
b. If low, please refill with compressor oil. Do not use any other
type of oil. This keeps the air lines lubed and clean and greatly
extends the life of the machine.
c. Keep any air holes free of dirt.
d. Grease the spot where the rim clamp jaws move along the
turntable. This will let machine work easier and extend its life.
e. Make sure you do not exceed 145 PSI. Remember that the tire
changer does not have a pressure regulator. The gauge on the
back of the machine is simply that, a gauge. You must put a
pressure regulator on your compressor.
