10.1 Electrical checks
BEFORE STARTING UP THE TIRE-CHANGER, BE
SURE TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE LOCA-
TION AND OPERATION OF ALL CONTROLS AND
CHECK THEIR PROPER OPERATION (SEE PAR.
“CONTROLS”).
CARRY OUT A DAILY CHECK OF MAINTAINED-
TYPE CONTROLS CORRECT FUNCTIONING,
BEFORE STARTING MACHINE OPERATION.
11.0 CONTROLS
11.1 Control unit
It consists of two levers (Fig. 14 ref. A) and of two push buttons
(Fig. 14 ref. B) and a lever (Fig. 14 ref. C), with different functions,
fit onto a single control block.
The control unit can be used to move the upper and lower bead-
breakers and the tool and place them in the working position.
The control unit therefore governs all the movements necessary for
a complete bead-breaking, assembly and disassembly operation:
•
bead rollers vertical shift movement.
•
introduction of the bead breaker rollers inside the rim,
•
mounting tool vertical shift movement.
The upper lever and button (A-B (UPP)) control the upper bead
breaker roller, vice versa the lower lever and button (A-B (LOW))
control the lower bead breaker roller.
Each lever has three positions:
- the first one (Fig. 14 ref. 1) is rest position, that keeps the bead
rollers into their current position.
- the second one (Fig. 14 ref. 2) (pressed lever, maintained-type
control) operates upper bead breaker roller descent (UPP. lever)
and/or lower bead breaker roller rise (LOW. lever).
- the third one (Fig. 14 ref. 3) (lever’s lifting) operates upper bead
breaker roller’s rise (UPP. lever) and/or lower bead breaker roller’s
descent (LOW. lever).
Pressing UPP. or LOW. maintained-type push buttons (Fig. 14
ref. B), the corresponding cam introduces the bead breaker roller
into the rim.
The control unit is also equipped with the lever (Fig. 14 ref. C) which
controls the ascent and descent of the tool:
- lift the lever to move the tool upwards;
- lower the lever to move the tool downwards.

This is done completely manually. Press the release push button
(Fig. 15 ref. 1), then operate the handle (Fig. 15 ref. 2), for the
manual positioning of the upper and lower bead rollers and the tool
on the correct diameter of the wheel fixed onto the chuck, through a
concurrent lever’s thrust and return movement. Releasing the push
button, the rollers lock into their current position.
The cylinder (Fig. 15 ref. 3) makes the entire operation described
above easier. The cylinder is activated when, after pressing the
button (Fig. 15 ref. 1), a slight pulling or pushing movement of the
knob is performed (Fig. 15 ref. 2). The intervention force of the
cylinder can be adjusted (Fig. 15 ref. 3) by acting on the regulator
(Fig. 15 ref. 4), located on the solenoid valve protection casing
(Fig. 15 ref. 5).

11.3 Bead pressing device operating unit
It is made up of an handle control (Fig. 16 ref. 1), positioned on the
device. This handle control allows to operate the vertical movement
of the presser roller (Fig. 16 ref. 3). Lift the lever (Fig. 16 ref. 2) to
operate the upwards movement, and lower the lever (Fig. 16 ref. 2)
to perform the downwards movement. The device arm positioning
next to the tire is a completely manual operation.

11.4 Pedalboard
“Pedal A” has two maintained action operative positions. When
it is pushed downwards it controls chuck motor clockwise rotary
movement. When the pedal is lifted upwards it operates the op-
posite movement.
THE CHUCK UNIT SPEED CAN BE CONTINU-
OUSLY ADJUSTED UP TO THE MAXIMUM
SPEED THROUGH A PROGRESSIVE PRESSURE
ON THE PEDAL, ONLY IN CLOCKWISE DIREC-
TION.
“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 function. A continu-
ous pressure supplies air at a controlled pressure (max 4.2 ± 0.2
bar / 60 ± 3 psi).
DO NOT CHANGE THE SET OPERATING PRES-
SURE VALUE BY MEANS OF THE MAXIMUM
PRESSURE VALVES. THE MANUFACTURER
SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INJURY
OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM UNAUTHORISED
CHANGES.
Version with tubeless inflation
The inflation pedal has two functions. The supply of air at max. con-
trolled pressure as in the previous version, and a second function of
a jet of air from the inflation nozzle to assist the beading in of the tire.
DO NOT CHANGE THE SET OPERATING PRES-
SURE VALUE BY MEANS OF THE MAXIMUM
PRESSURE VALVES. THE MANUFACTURER
SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INJURY
OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM UNAUTHORISED
CHANGES.

12.0 USING THE MACHINE
12.1 Precaution measures during tire removal and fitting
Before fitting a tire, observe the following safety rules:
• rimandtiremustalwaysbeclean,dryandingoodcondition;if
necessary, clean the rims and check that:
- neither the bead nor the tread of the tire are damaged;
- 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);
• adequatelylubricatethecontactsurfaceofrimandthetirebeads,
using specific tire lubricants only;
• replacetheinnertubevalvewithanewvalve,ifthetiretubehas
a metal valve, replace the grommet;
• alwaysmakesurethat tire andrimsizesarecorrect for their
coupling; on the contrary, never fit a tire unless you are sure it is
of the right size (the rated size of rim and tire is usually printed
directly on them);
• donotusecompressedairorwaterjetstocleanthewheelson
the machine.
12.2 Preliminary operations - Preparing the wheel
• Removethewheelbalancingweightsfrombothsidesofthewheel.
REMOVE THE VALVE STEM AND ALLOW THE
TIRE TO COMPLETELY DEFLATE.
• Establishfromwhichsidethetireshouldbedemounted,checking
the position of the groove.
• Findtherimlockingtype.
• Trytoestablishthespecialtypesofwheels,suchas“EH2”and
“EH2+”,inordertoimprovelocking,beadbreaking,assemblyand
disassembly performances.
WHEN HANDLING WHEELS WEIGHING MORE
THAN 10 KG (22 lbs) AND/OR WITH A FRE-
QUENCY OF MORE THAN 20/30 WHEELS PER
HOUR, THE LIFTING DEVICE SHOULD BE USED.
12.3 Use of the lifting device
CARRY OUT A DAILY CHECK OF MAINTAINED-
TYPE CONTROLS CORRECT FUNCTIONING,
BEFORE STARTING MACHINE OPERATION.
1. After placing the wheel on the lifting plate (see Fig. 18), press
the lifting device drive pedal (Fig. 19 ref._1) downwards and
bring the wheel to a level where it can be shifted to the chuck
by hand (see Fig. 19).
