5. POSITIONING AND ASSEMBLY
5.1. The minimum required space around the machine is shown in g. 1. It should be bolted to a at/level surface using
appropriate xings as follows:
5.2. INSTALLATION
5.2.1. Locating The Tyre Changer:
5.2.1.1. Make sure Tyre Changer is tted/used on a dry, at, level,
oil/grease free, concrete surface capable of supporting the
weight of the Tyre Changer.
5.2.1.2. The Tyre Changer is designed for indoors use only.
8DO NOT install or use the Tyre Changer outdoors, or in
damp or wet locations.
5.2.1.3. Make sure to check the desired location for possible
obstructions such as a low ceiling, adequate working area,
access ways, exits. The Tyre Changer should be located in
an area free of ammable materials and liquids.
5.2.1.4. Make sure the Tyre Changer is located near enough to a
plug socket so it can be plugged into directly without the
use of an extension cable.
5.2.2. Mounting The Tyre Changer To The Floor
5.2.2.1. With assistance, and with the use of a lifting device, position
in the desired location. Use the four, 13mm (1/2”) machine
mounting holes located at the base of the Body as a template
to mark the points where four oor anchor holes will be
drilled in the oor surface. Then, temporarily remove the
Tyre Changer.
5.2.2.2. Where previously marked on the concrete oor surface,
drill four 13mm (1/2”) diameter, minimum 100mm deep,
anchor holes. NOTE: Be sure to blow out the cement dust
from the drilled hole.
5.2.2.3. Move the Tyre Changer back to the desired location, and align the four machine mounting holes at the base of the Body with the four
previously drilled oor anchor holes. If necessary, level the Tyre Changer by inserting steel shims between the base of the machine
and the concrete oor surface. DO NOT exceed more than 5mm thickness of shims.
5.2.2.4. Secure the Tyre Changer to the concrete oor surface, using four 13mm (1/2”) diameter concrete anchor bolts of appropriate length,
four washers, and four nuts (not provided).

6.2.1. Clean up any oil or rust from the rim, select the inner or outer clamp, then lock the rim on the turntable.
6.2.2. Spread the lubrication liquid or soap liquid around the lip of the tyre. Tilt the tyre against the rim and keep the front end upwards.
Operate the column tilt pedal g.2.8 to make the column return to the down position. Move the demounting head to rmly contact the
rim g.22. Position the left of the tyre lip above the tail of the demounting tool and the right under the hump g.26.
6.2.3. Press down the right side of the tyre as hard as possible and operate the turntable pedal g.2.11 to rotate the turntable clockwise to guide
the lip into the wheel.
6.2.4. If an inner tube is required, raise up the demounting head and insert the tube into position.
6.2.5. Mount the demounting head again. Adjust the position of the upper lip. Operate the turntable rotation pedal to rotate the tyre. At this
moment, continue pressing the lip. If the tyre deforms release the pedal at once. Rotate turntable in the opposite direction if required.
Restore the tyre to its original condition and try to mount again.
6.3. Standard Ination
WARNING! Take care when inating Tyre.
6.3.1. Check the air supply to see if the air connection is OK.
6.3.2. The machine is equipped with an ination gauge for monitoring the ination of the tyre and the ination pressure.
6.3.3. Remove turntable clamps from the tyre.
