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 opera-
tion when the control is released) for all operating
devices;
• mandrel rotation;
• tool translation;
• bead breaking roller translation;
• side bead breaking;
• lifting device (only for G8945V.26S - G8945ITV.26S
- G8945D.26S - G8945ITD.26S models);
• fixed protections and guards.
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 (only for G8945D.26
- G8945ITD.26 - G8945D.26S - G8945ITD.26S
models)
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”.
• 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.

it like a fan.
It is also possible to unnail the cardboard box from
the pallet it is fixed to. After removing the packing,
and in the case of the machine packed fully assembled,
check that the machine is complete and that there is
no visible damage.
If the machine is packed dismantled into its principal
parts, after removing the packing, lay the individual
parts on the floor and check them for any missing
components, damage, or irregularity.
If in doubt do not use the machine and refer to pro-
fessionally qualified personnel (to the seller).
The packing (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, nails,
screws, timber, etc.) should not be left within reach
of children since it is potentially dangerous. These
materials should be deposited in the relevant collec-
tion points if they are pollutants or non biodegradable.
THE BOX CONTAINING THE FIX-
TURES IS CONTAINED IN THE

8.0 WORKING ENVIRONMENT CONDI-
TIONS
The machine must be operated under proper condi-
tions as follows:
• temperature: 0° + 55° C
• relative humidity: 30 - 95% (dew-free)
• atmospheric pressure: 860 - 1060 hPa (mbar).
The use of the machine in ambient conditions other
than those specified above is only allowed after prior
agreement with and approval of the manufacturer.
8.1 Working position
In Figure 4 it is possible to identify working positions
A and B.
Position A is the main position for wheel fitting and
removal with the mandrel, while position B is ideal to
follow tyre inflation operations.
Working in these positions allows better precision and
speed during operating phases as well as greater safety
for the operator.
8.2 Installation space
Fig. 4
USE THE MACHINE INDOORS OR IN A ROOFED
AREA. PLACE OF INSTALLATION MUST BE
DRY, ADEQUATELY LIT AND IN COMPLIANCE
WITH APPLICABLE SAFETY REGULATIONS.
The location of the machine requires a usable space
as indicated in Fig. 4. The positioning of the machine
must be according to the distances shown. From the
control position the operator is able to observe all the
machine and surrounding area. He must prevent unau-
thorized personnel or objects that could be dangerous
from entering the area.
The machine must be fixed on a flat floor surface,
preferably of cement or tiled. Avoid yielding or irregu-
lar surfaces.
The base floor must be able to support the loads trans-
mitted during operation.
This surface must have a strength of at least 500 kg/m².
The depth of the solid floor must be sufficient to guar-
antee that the anchoring bolts hold.
8.3 Lighting
The machine does not require its own lighting for
normal working operations. However, it must be used

9.0 MACHINE ASSEMBLY
After having freed the various components from the
packing check that they are complete, and that there
are no anomalies, then comply with the following in-
structions for the assembly of the components making
use of the attached series of illustrations.
9.1 Anchoring system
The packed machine is fixed to the support pallet
through the holes prearranged on the frame. Such
holes can be used also to fix the machine to the ground,
through floor anchor small blocks (excluded from sup-
ply). Before carrying out the definitive fixing, check that
all the anchor points are laid down flat and correctly
in contact with the fixing surface itself. If not so, insert
shimming profiles between the machine and the fixing
lower surface, as indicated in Fig. 5.

12.0 USING THE MACHINE
12.1 Precaution measures during tyre re-
moval and fitting
Before fitting a tyre, observe the following safety rules:
• always use clean, dry and in good condition rims
and tyres; in particular, if necessary, clean the rims
after all the balancing weights (as well as the adhesive
weights on the inner side) have been removed, and
make sure that:
- 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. Use 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.
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 point.
• Try to establish the special types of wheels, such as
“TD” and “AH”, in order to improve locking, bead
breaking, assembly and disassembly performances.
12.3 Bead breaking with side vane
After preparing the wheel as described in the previous
point, follow the instructions given below to carry out
the bead breaking procedure:
1. Position the wheel as indicated in Fig. 20 and move
the bead breaker tool toward the edge of the rim.
Fig. 20
2. Press the pedal (Fig. 19 ref. 4) and activate the
bead breaker tool to remove the bead. If the bead
does not detach the first time, repeat the operation,
on different points of the wheel, until it has come
away completely.
3. Reverse the position of the wheel and repeat the
operation on the other side.
4. Lubricate the tyre carefully along the entire circum-
ference of the bead on both sides.
FAILURE TO LUBRICATE MIGHT
CAUSE FRICTION BETWEEN THE
MOUNTING TOOL AND THE TYRE,
AND WOULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO
THE TYRE AND/OR THE BEAD.
