of air at controlled pressure (max 4,2 ± 0,2 bar 60 PSI), and a second
function of a jet of air from the inflation nozzle to assist the beading
in of the tire.
The maintained control pedal (Fig. 8 ref. 2) operates the handling
of the wheel lifting device. Pulling the pedal downwards the lifting
device starts its rise while, on the contrary, pulling the pedal up-
wards the lifting device starts descending. Releasing the pedal at
any time will provoke the lifting devices stop.
The pedal (Fig. 8 ref. 3) has two maintained control operative
positions. When it is pushed downwards it controls chuck motor
clockwise rotary movement. When the pedal is lifted upwards it
operates the opposite movement.

12.0 USING THE MACHINE
12.1 Precaution measures during tire removal and fitting
Before fitting a tire, observe the following safety rules:
• rimandtiremustalwaysbeclean,dryandingoodcondition;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);
• adequatelylubricatethecontactsurfaceofrimandthetirebeads,
using specific tire lubricants only;
• replacetheinnertubevalvewithanewvalve,ifthetiretubehas
a metal valve, replace the grommet;
• alwaysmake surethat tire andrim sizesare correct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);
• 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
TIRE TO COMPLETELY DEFLATE.
• Establishfromwhichsidethetireshouldbedemounted,checking
the position of the groove.
• Findtherimlockingtype.
• Trytoestablishthespecialtypesofwheels,suchas“TD”and
“AH”, in order to improve locking, bead breaking, assembly and
disassembly performances.
WHEN HANDLING WHEELS WEIGHING MORE
THAN 10 KG AND/OR WITH A FREQUENCY OF
MORE THAN 20/30 WHEELS PER HOUR, A LIFT-
ING DEVICE SHOULD BE USED.
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.
11.3 Bead breaking vane control knob
The side bead breaker control device consists of a handle placed
on the bead breaker itself and equipped with 2 push buttons.
The maintained action push button (Fig. 9 ref. 1), when pressed,
operates vane progress towards the tire, while maintained action
push button (Fig. 9 ref. 2), when pressed, operates vane opening
outwards.
Fig. 9

12.3 Bead breaking
After preparing the wheel as described in the previous point, fol-
low the instructions given below to carry out the bead breaking
procedure:
1. Position the wheel as indicated in Fig. 10 and move the bead
breaker tool toward the edge of the rim.
PLACE THE VANE SO THAT IT CAN OPERATE
ON TIRE SIDE AND NOT ON THE RIM.
Fig. 10
2. Move the bead breaker vane closer by pushing the push button
(Fig. 10 ref. 1) until the bead has detached. 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 tire carefully along the entire circumference of the
bead on both sides.
FAILURE TO LUBRICATE MIGHT CAUSE FRIC-
TION BETWEEN THE MOUNTING TOOL AND
THE TIRE, AND WOULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO
THE TIRE AND/OR THE BEAD.
NEVER INSERT ANY PART OF YOUR BODY
BETWEEN THE BEAD BREAKER TOOL AND
THE TIRE, OR BETWEEN THE TIRE AND THE
WHEEL SUPPORT.
12.4 Use of the lifting device

12.5 Wheel clamping
All wheels must be locked on the rubber plate (Fig. 14 ref. 1) through
the central hole using the proper locking device (Fig. 14 ref. 2).
Fig. 14
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. Dowel the wheel (Fig. 15 ref. 1) on the rubber plate and check
that the dragging pin (Fig. 15 ref. 2) enter in a hole placed on
the rim hub.
Fig. 15
IF THE WHEEL HUB IS HIGHER THEN THE
DRAGGING PIN (FIG. 16 REF. 2), USE THE EX-
TENSION (FIG. 16 REF. 1) SUPPLIED ON ISSUE.

ESSARY FOR CARRYING WORK AND IN ANY
CASE NEVER LEAVE IT UNATTENDED.
12.5.1 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. 22 ref. 1). We suggest you a constant
replacement of it and in any case if there are visible damages (see
Fig. 22).
