the machine.
12.2 Preliminary operations
In view of the tyre changer structure and of its intended use, the
operator must work with wheels with large diameter up to 2700 mm
and with remarkable weight up to 3000 kg.
The utmost care while moving the wheels is recommended: make
use of other operators, properly trained and with suitable clothes.
THROUGHOUT TYRE MOUNTING AND DE-
MOUNTING OPERATIONS, THE SELF-CENTRING
CHUCK ROTATION SPEED CAN BE DOUBLED BY
ROTATING THE SELECTOR (FIG. 7 REF. C).
LOW SPEED IS RECOMMENDED FOR WHEELS
WITH GREAT DIAMETER AND WEIGHT.
THE CAREFUL LUBRICATION OF THE TYRE BEADS
IS RECOMMENDED, IN ORDER TO PROTECT
THEM FROM POSSIBLE DAMAGES AND TO
FACILITATE MOUNTING AND DEMOUNTING
OPERATIONS.
12.3 Preparing the wheel
REMOVE THE VALVE STEM AND ALLOW THE
TYRE TO COMPLETELY DEFLATE.
• Removethewheelbalancingweightsfrombothsidesofthewheel.
• Establishfromwhichsidethetyreshouldbedemounted,checking

• Findtherimlockingtype.
12.4 Wheel clamping
FOR WHAT CONCERNS THE DIMENSIONS AND
WEIGHT OF THE WHEEL TO BE LOCKED, MAKE
USE OF A SECOND OPERATOR WHO MUST HOLD
THE WHEEL INTO VERTICAL POSITION, IN OR-
DER TO ENSURE SAFE OPERATIVE CONDITIONS.
WHEN HANDLING WHEELS WEIGHING MORE
THAN 500 KG A FORK-LIFT TRUCK OR A CRANE
SHOULD BE USED.
MAKE SURE THAT RIM CLAMPING IS DONE
PROPERLY AND THAT THE GRIP IS SAFE, TO
PREVENT THE WHEEL FROM FALLING DURING
MOUNTING OR REMOVAL OPERATIONS.
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.

OPENING/CLOSING MOVEMENT OF THE SELF-
CENTRING CHUCK CAN GENERATE DANGER
OF SQUASHING, CUTTING, COMPRESSING.
DURING WHEEL LOCKING/UNLOCKING PHASE,
AVOID THAT PARTS OF HUMAN BODY COME
INTO CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS OF THE
MACHINE.
All wheels must be clamped from the inside.
Clamping on the central flange is always safest.
FOR WHEELS WITH GROOVED RIMS SECURE
THE WHEEL SO THAT THE GROOVE IS FACING
OUTWARDS COMPARED TO THE CHUCK.
If it is not possible to clamp the rim in the hole of the disc, clamp on
the bead seat close to the disc.
TO SECURE WHEELS WITH ALLOY RIMS ADDI-
TIONAL PROTECTIVE CLAMPS ARE AVAILABLE.
THEY ALLOW YOU TO WORK ON THE RIMS
WITHOUT DAMAGING THEM. THE PROTEC-
TIVE CLAMPS ARE FITTED ONTO THE CHUCK’S
NORMAL CLAMPS BY MEANS OF A BAYONET
CONNECTION.
To clamp the wheel proceed as follows:
- Move the tool holder arm to “off-work” position (Fig. 14 ref. 1)
with the help of the provided controls (Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 ref. H);
- Placethewheelverticalonthemachinetable;
- Translate the chuck carriage towards the tyre until the self-
centringarmsareinsertedinsidetherim;
- Adjust the opening of the self-centring chuck through the “open-
ing/closing”control (Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 ref. E/F) according to the
typeofrimtobelocked;
- Use the lever (Fig. 8 ref. A and Fig. 9 ref. I) to position the coaxial
chuck with the wheel centre, in order to make the clamps edges
skimthewheeledge;
- Operate the control (Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 ref. E) until the wheel is
completelyclamped;
- Make sure the rim is always correctly locked and centred, and
the wheel is lifted from the machine platform, in order to prevent
the rim from slipping in the following operations.
KEEP ON OPERATING RIM CLAMPING CONTROL,
UNTIL REACHING THE MAXIMUM OPERATING
PRESSURE (180 BAR), WHICH CAN BE CHECKED
THROUGH THE PREARRANGED PRESSURE

Locking with extensions
Whenever the rim exceeds the 50” in the locking point, use the ap-
propriate extensions (optional). To avoid damages or scratches on
light alloy rims, the special clamps supplied with the tyre changer
as an optional should be used.
AFTER COMPLETION OF TYRE MOUNT/DE-
MOUNT OPERATIONS DO NOT LEAVE THE
WHEEL CLAMPED ON THE SELF-CENTRING
CHUCK AND NEVER LEAVE IT UNATTENDED
ANYWAY.

12.5 Functioning of tool holder arm
During the working phases, the tool holder arm can maintain two
firm positions, that is:
1)“Working”position;
2) “Out of work” position.
In “working” position (Fig. 13 ref. 1) the tool holder arm is lowered
towards the chuck and from this position it executes the various tyre
bead breaking, demounting and mounting operations.
Fig. 13
In “out of work” position (Fig. 14 ref. 1): the tool holder arm is in a
vertical position and has to be brought in this position every time it
is not in use and in order to be shifted from one tyre side to another,
during the different working phases.
Fig. 14
The tool holder arm moves from “out of work” position to “working
position” through hydraulic cylinder.
IN WORK POSITION, THE SAFETY JACKS (FIG. 1
REF. 8) MUST BE HOOKED TO THE TOOL CAR-
RIAGE (FIG. 1 REF. 13).
To shift from “work” position to “off-work” position, the tool holder
arm moves by the handle control that activates the cylinder (Fig. 1
ref. 21).
12.5.1 Tools rotation

through handle control operation (Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 ref. C and D).
12.5.2 Tools unit extraction/insertion
The tools holder head has two working positions.
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS MUST BE CAR-
RIED OUT WITH THE TOOLS HEAD IN “OFF-
WORK” POSITION.
Remove the safety split pin (Fig. 15 ref. 1) and manually extract
the lever (Fig. 15 ref. 2) to change from one position to another.
Manually lift or lower the tools holder head until the locking holes
match (Fig. 15 ref. 3).
WHEN THE TOOL HOLDER HEAD IS LOWERED,
MOVE THE HEAD ITSELF DOWNWARDS WITH
THE FREE HAND.
When the new position has been reached, insert the lever again
(Fig. 15 ref. 2) in the provided hole and assemble the safety split
pin (Fig. 15 ref. 1) again.
