3.0 SAFETY DEVICES
PERIODICALLY, AT LEAST MONTH-
LY, CHECK THE INTEGRITY AND
THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE
SAFETY AND PROTECTION DE-
VICES ON THE MACHINE.
All the machines are equipped with:
• man-operated controls (immediate stop of operation
when the control is released) for all operating devices;
• mandrel rotation;
• tool translation;
• bead breaking roller translation.
• Non-adjustable pressure limiter.
This allows inflation of tyres in reasonable safety.
Inflation of tyres to over 4,2 ± 0,2 bar (60 PSI) is
not allowed.
• Controls logic disposition.
Its function is to prevent the operator from danger-
ous mistakes.
• Fixed guards and shelters
The machine is fitted with a number of fixed guards
intended to prevent potential crushing, cutting and
compression risks.
These protections have been realized after risks
evaluation and after all machine operative situations
have been considered.
All protections, specially the rubber ones, have to be
periodically checked in order to evaluate their wear
state.
PERIODICALLY CARRY OUT THE
MAINTENANCE OF THE PROTEC-
TIONS, SHELTERS AND SAFETY
DEVICES IN GENERAL, AS INDI-
CATED IN CHAPTER 13. ROUTINE
MAINTENANCE.
• Motor protection devices.
The new “Invemotor” motor is equipped with elec-
tronic protection devices. They stop the motor if
working defected conditions appear to avoid that the
motor itself can be damaged and that the operator
safety can be compromised (overvoltage, overload,
overtemperature). For other details, see the chapt.
14 “Fault-Finding”.
3.1 Residual risks
The machine was subjected to a complete analysis of
risks according to reference standard EN ISO 12100.
Risks are as reduced as possible in relation with tech-
nology and product functionality.
This manual stresses possible residual risks, also
highlighted in pictograms on the present manual and
adhesive warning signals placed on the machine: their
location is represented in “PLATE LOCATION ON MA-
CHINE INFORMATION TABLE” on page 5.
4.0 GENERAL SAFETY RULES
• Any tampering with or modification to the machine
not previously authorized by the manufacturer ex-
empts the latter from all responsibility for damage
caused by or derived from said actions.
• Removing of or tampering with the safety devices or
with the warning signals placed on the machine leads
to serious dangers and represents a transgression of
European safety rules.
• Use of the machine is only permitted in places free
from explosion or fire hazard and in dry places
under cover.
• Original spare parts and accessories should be used.
THE MANUFACTURER DENIES
ANY RESPONSIBILITY IN CASE
OF DAMAGES CAUSED BY UNAU-
THORIZED MODIFICATIONS OR
BY THE USE OF NON ORIGINAL
COMPONENTS OR EQUIPMENT.
• Installation must be conducted only by qualified
personnel exactly according to the instructions that
are given below.
• Ensure that there are no dangerous situations dur-
ing the machine operating manoeuvres. Immediately
stop the machine if it miss-functions and contact the
assistance service of an authorized dealer.
• In emergency situations and before carrying out any
maintenance or repairs, disconnect all supplies to
the machine by using the main switch.
• The machine electrical supply system must be
equipped with an appropriate earthing, to which
the yellow-green machine protection wire must be
connected.

• Push buttons “F” have a maintained action position
and they control the vertical translation of the upper
bead breaker roll. When pressed in its lower part
(F2), it operates the downwards translation. When
pressed in its upper part (F1), it operates the up-
wards translation. When push button (F1) is pressed,
the release of the cam of the upper bead breaker roll
is also operated, if it has been previously introduced
with push button (D).
• Push buttons “G” have a maintained action posi-
tion and they control the vertical translation of the
lower bead breaker roll. When pressed in its lower
part (G2), it operates the downwards translation.
When pressed in its upper part (G1), it operates
the upwards translation. When push button (G2)
is pressed, the release of the cam of the lower bead
breaker roll is also operated, if it has been previously
introduced with push button (E).
• Push button “H” has a maintained action position.
When pressed, it controls the tool vertical down-
wards translation.
• Push button “I” has a maintained action position.
When pressed, it controls the tool vertical upwards
translation.
11.2 Pedalboard
“Pedal A” has two maintained action operative posi-
tions. When it is pushed downwards it controls man-
drel motor clockwise rotary movement. When the pedal
is lifted upwards it operates the opposite movement.
NOTE:The mandrel unit speed can be continuously
adjusted up to the maximum speed through
a progressive pressure on the pedal, only in
clockwise direction.
“Pedal B” has a different function according to the
version present on the machine.
Version with inflation with pressure gauge
The inflation pedal in this version has only one func-
tion. A continuous pressure supplies air at a controlled
pressure (max 4 ± 0,2 bar 60 PSI).

12.3 Wheel clamping
All wheels must be locked on the rubber plate (Fig. _ 15
ref. _ 1) through the central hole using the proper locking
device (Fig. _ 15 ref. _ 2).

Fig._15
NOTE: in case of use of rims without central hole, it’s
necessary to use the proper fixture (available
on demand).
To lock a rim proceed as follows:
1. Extract the central locking shaft and its cone (Fig._16
ref._1) through the proper handle (Fig._16 ref._2)
and, if necessary, turn it to facilitate its extraction.

12.0 USING THE MACHINE
12.1 Precaution measures during tyre re-
moval and fitting
Before fitting a tyre, observe the following safety rules:
• rim and tyre must be clean, dry and in good condi-
tion; if necessary, remove the balancing weights and
clean the rim. Check:
- neither the bead nor the tread of the tyre are dam-
aged;
- the rim does not produce dents and/or deformation
(especially for alloy rims, dents can cause internal
micro-fractures, that pass unobserved at visual
inspection, and can compromise the solidity of the
rim and constitute danger even during inflation);
• adequately lubricate the contact surface of rim and
tyre bead, using specific tyre lubricants only;
• replace the inner tube valve with a new valve, if the
tyre tube has a metal valve, replace the grommet;
• make sure that the tyre is the right size for the rim;
on the contrary, never fit a tyre unless you are sure
it is the right size (the rated size of the rim and tyre
is usually printed directly on each of them);
• do not use compressed air or water jets to clean the
wheels on the machine.
12.2 Preliminary operations - Preparing the
wheel
• Remove the wheel balancing weights from both sides
of the wheel.
REMOVE THE VALVE STEM AND
ALLOW THE TYRE TO COMPLETE-
LY DEFLATE.
• Establish from which side the tyre should be de-
mounted, checking the position of the groove.
• Find the rim locking type.
• Try to establish the special types of wheels, such as
“EH2” and “EH2+”, in order to improve locking, bead
breaking, assembly and disassembly performances.

7. For wheels with alloy rims, use the proper plastic
guard (Fig._22 ref._1).

Fig._22
NEVER LEAVE THE WHEEL FIT-
TED ON THE MACHINE FOR A
PERIOD LONGER THAN NECES-
SARY FOR CARRYING WORK AND
IN ANY CASE NEVER LEAVE IT
UNATTENDED.
To release the wheel, carry out the previously opera-
tions on the contrary way.
12.3.1 Reverse wheel pan protection
In case of use of reverse wheels, to protect the rim,
apply on the rubber platform a protection made of
a transparent plastic material available on demand
(Fig._23 ref._1). We suggest a constant replacement
of it and in any case if there are visible damages (see
Fig._23).

12.4 Bead breaking through vertical rollers
1. After having clamped the wheel, move the upper
bead breaker roll close (Fig._24 ref._2) to the rim
edge (Fig._24 ref._1), pressing push button (Fig._13
ref._F2).
2. Establish the tools diameter (rolls and tool) with
the help of push button L and of lever M.

Fig._24
3. Keep on approaching, activating wheel clockwise
rotation (see Fig._25) pushing the pedal (Fig._14
ref._A) and at the same time activate the push
button (Fig._13 ref._F2), keeping it pressed until
there's room enough for the roll to progress with
the cam.
THE BEADING DISC MUST EXERT
PRESSURE ON THE TYRE BEAD
BUT NEVER ON THE RIM.
USE VERY CAREFULLY THE VER-
TICAL BEAD BREAKING ROLLERS
IN ORDER TO AVOID POSSIBLE
HANDS CRUSHING.
