2.1. Ensure the air valve is in the "off" position before connecting to
the air supply.
2.2. You will require an air pressure between 100 and 150psi.
2.3. WARNING! Ensure that the air supply is clean and does not
exceed 150psi. Too high an air pressure and/or unclean air will
cause excessive wear and may cause damage and/or
personal injury.
2.4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the
tyre changer.
2.5. Clean the compressor air inlet filter screen weekly. The
recommended hook-up is shown below.
2.6. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for
unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum hose
diameter should be 10mm I.D. and fittings must have the same
inside dimensions.
2.7. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses
for wear and make certain that all connections are secure.

4. OPERATION - TC961
The TC961 Tyre Changer is manually operated - no air supply is
required. It is designed for removing/fitting tyres from/to most sizes of
open-centre wheels (see Section 3 Specifications). Do not use the tyre
changer for any other purpose.
If tyres are to be changed on aluminium wheels the optional tyre bar,
Sealey model no. TC963, must be used to prevent damage to the wheel
rims.
IMPORTANT! Never attempt to fit or remove a tyre without first
lubricating both beads.
4.1. Bead breaking
4.1.1. Deflate the tyre and remove all balance weights.
4.1.2. Lift the bead breaker clear of the tyre changer foot.
4.1.3. Place the wheel on the foot of the tyre changer, locating the rim
as indicated. Position the bead breaker spade under the rim
flange (fig. 1).
4.1.4. Put the tyre bar into the bead breaker socket.
4.1.5. Pull down firmly on the bar and repeat around the rim until the
bead is free.
4.1.6. Turn wheel over and repeat to free the other bead.
Note: When bead breaking on TD or TDX wheels the wheel must be
horizontal. Locate the rim on the foot of the tyre changer and
support the opposite side of the wheel with a suitable piece of
timber.
4.2. Tyre removal
4.2.1. Lubricate both tyre beads with an approved rubber lubricant.
4.2.2. Remove the wheel retaining sleeve from the centre post.
4.2.3. Place the wheel onto the stand with the narrow bead seat
uppermost.
4.2.4. Replace the wheel locating clamp onto the centre post (fig. 2),
inserting the wheel peg into one of the wheel mounting holes.
4.2.5. Turn the wheel clockwise on the stand until it locks.
4.2.6. Insert the ball end of the tyre bar beneath the top bead and press the opposite side of the bead down into the wheel well.
4.2.7. Lever the bar against the wheel location clamp and rotate the bead over the rim (fig. 3).
4.2.8. If a tube is fitted, tighten the locating clamp thumb screw to prevent wheel lifting and then pull out the tube.
4.2.9. Lift the tyre up and repeat the procedure for the lower bead.
4.3. Tyre fitting
4.3.1. Lubricate both tyre beads with an approved rubber lubricant.
4.3.2. Mount and lock the wheel to the stand as in 4.2.2. to 4.2.5.
4.3.3. Place the lower bead of the tyre over the wheel rim and insert the fitting head of the tyre bar
between the bead and the rim with the bead on the ledge of the fitting head.
4.3.4. Lever the bar against the wheel location clamp and rotate the bead over the rim (fig. 4).
4.3.5. Fit a tube if appropriate and then seat the upper bead in the same manner.
5. OPERATION - TC962
The TC962 Tyre Changer is air assisted. It is designed for removing/fitting tyres from/to most sizes of
open-centre wheels (see Section 3 Specifications). Do not use the tyre changer for any other purpose.
Alloy Wheels. If tyres are to be changed on aluminium wheels the optional tyre bar, Sealey model no.
TC963, must be used to prevent damage to the wheel rims (See fig.5b). Use a rim sheild to protect the
wheel finish when levering a bead over the wheel rim.
IMPORTANT! Never attempt to fit or remove a tyre without first lubricating both beads.
5.1. Bead breaking (For 18” wheels refer to section 5.4)
5.1.1. Deflate the tyre and remove all balance weights.
5.1.2. Place the wheel under the bead breaker, locating the rim as indicated. Position the bead breaker
ram so that the spade is under the rim flange (fig. 5).
Note: Before operating breaker place one foot on the wheel, opposite the spade, to prevent wheel
‘kick-up’.
5.1.3. Open the air valve slightly (See fig.5a) to lower the spade - do not use full pressure. Check that
the spade is firmly set on the tyre bead, close to the rim and then increase the pressure
gradually until the bead breaks free.
5.1.4. Rotate the wheel and repeat around the rim until the whole bead is free.
5.1.5. Turn wheel over and repeat to free the other bead.
Note: When bead breaking on TD or TDX wheels the wheel must be horizontal. Locate the rim on
the foot of the tyre changer and support the opposite side of the wheel with a suitable piece of
timber.
5.2. Tyre removal
5.2.1. Lubricate both tyre beads with an approved rubber lubricant.
5.2.2. Remove the wheel retaining cone from the centre post.
5.2.3. Place the wheel onto the rubber mat on the stand with the narrow bead seat uppermost.
5.2.4. Replace cone over centre post and fit locating pin though post and both sides of cone tube.
(Precautions should be taken to protect the finish of an alloy wheel from the pressure exerted
by the cone)
5.2.5. Activate the bead breaker - this will pull down the centre post and so clamp the wheel.
WARNING! Make sure that feet and legs are clear of the spade when carrying out this operation.
5.2.6. Insert the ball end of the tyre bar beneath the top bead and press the opposite side of the bead
down into the wheel well.

INCORRECT POSITIONING FOR 18” WHEEL CORRECT POSITIONING FOR 18” WHEEL
5.4 BEAD BREAKING ON 18” WHEELS.
With an 18” wheel resting on the tyre changer foot there is insufficient clearance at ‘X’ in fig.8 to access the tyre bead. To remedy this
situation refer to fig.9. Butt the tyre up against the end of the tyre changer foot as shown at ‘B’ in fig.9. Take hold of the handle on the ram
mechanism and pull it away from the main support so it is at an angle as shown at ‘A’ with the spade close to the bead. Note: Before operating
breaker place one foot on the wheel, opposite the spade, to prevent wheel ‘kick-up’. Position the bead breaker ram so that the spade is under the
rim flange. Open the air valve slightly to lower the spade - do not use full pressure. Check that the spade is firmly set on the tyre bead, close to
the rim and then increase the pressure until the bead breaks free . To proceed refer back to section 5.1.4.
