decorations. The operators with long hair must tie it back so that they could work
easily. The operator ought to equipe a suitable shoes.
5.2. TECHNICAL SERVICE, REPAIRS AND SPARE PARTS EXCHANGE
- Ser icing, maintenance work and spare parts exchange must be carried out by
authorised personnel.
- Before any ser ice work, disconnect the machine from the power supply.
- You must not use spare parts other than those supplied by the manufacturer.
- The machine’s spare parts and accessories ha e to meet safety regulations.
6. STORING
If the machine is to be stored for a long time, it must be disconnected from the power
supply, with the oil tank emptied, and co ered to protect it from externals (dust, oil
5

mist etc.). The parts which might get damaged in case they dry out ha e to be
lubricated.
7. SCRAPPING
When the machine is going to be scrapped, all the electric and electrical parts as well
as those made of plastic ha e to be disassembled, while the rest has to be scrapped
as the steel scrap.
The electric wires can be scrapped as the copper scrap.
8. RECOMMENDATONS AND WARNINGS CONCERNING OIL
Removing wasted oil
Wasted oil must not be poured to sewage, ditches, drainage canals or water ways. It
must be collected and brought to the oil waste utilization points.
Oil leakage or spills
Spilled oil must be wiped out by means of sand, ground or absorbent material. The
leakage surface needs to be degreased by means of sol ents to pre ent apour
retention.
Rules for oil use
•A oid a long-lasting contact of oil with your skin.
•Pre ent forming of apours or mist which e aporate to the atmosphere.
•Obser e the following hygiene requirements:
- a oid spilling with oil (wear special clothing, put protecti e co ers on the
equipment).
- wash your hands often with soap and water; do not use any irritating clining.
materials or sol ent which remo e the protecti e layer from your epidermis of
hands.
- do not dry your hands with dirty or oiled cloths.
- change the clothing which is soaked with oil, and put on a clean work clothing
e eryday.
- do not smoke or eat with your hands oiled.
•Also the following pre enti e measures must be taken into account:
- wear protecti e oil-resistant glo es.
Oil: the first aid principles
•Oil swallowing: Generally, no special treatment is required. Do not e oke omiting
to pre ent breathing the oil apours in or oil getting into the respiratory tract.
•Getting of oil into the respiratory tract: if, in case of reflexi e omiting, the oil gets
into the respiratory tract, the injured person needs to be taken to hospital
immediately.
•Breathing in the oil apours: In case of breathng in the oil apours or oil mist with
high oil concentration, the injured person needs to be taken in the open air.
•Getting of oil in the eyes: Wash the eyes with water.
•Oiled skin: Wash your skin with soap and water.

9. RECOMMENDATIONS ON FIRE-FIGHTING EQ IPMENT
While choosing the right fire-extinguisher, follow the recommendations below:
Dry inflammable matters
Water fire-extinguishers YES
Foam fire-extinguishers YES
Dry chemical fire-extinguishers YES*
CO2 fire-extinguishers YES*
YES* use only when there is no better fire-extinguisher nearby and when the fire is
modest.
Inflammable liquids
Water fire-extinguishers NO
Foam fire-extinguishers YES
Dry chemical fire-extinguishers YES
CO2 fire-extinguishers YES
Electric devices
Water fire-extinguishers NO
Foam fire-extinguishers NO
Dry chemical fire-extinguishers YES
CO2 fire-extinguishers YES
WARNING
The abo e gi en recommendation are of a general character. These are general
principles for fire-extinguishers’ use. Detailed application of each kind of
fire-extinguisher is pro ided by its manufacturer on customer’s order.

10.0 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
10.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The machine is designed to repair of faults 10”-22” steel and aluminium rims. The rim
repair is carried out by means of the hydraulic piston supplied with the suitable
shaped working tools.
The machine is supplied with a quick release hydraulic adapter to set the position
and mount a rim securely.
Repairs are easy, and the time of repair does not exceed few minutes. The working
end caps allow to fix a damaged rim in any place of its bend.
The straightening machine is supplied with:
- the working tools of different shapes to repair arious deformations;
- a set of centring rings to repair rims with different diameters of central holes;
- a de ice to locate rim deformations;
- mounting mechanical pressures with regulated set bolts;
- a le er for preliminary rim straightening.

10.3 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The machine is adapted to alternating current of 3 x 400 V / 50 Hz.
It is supplied with four-wire power supply cable; the green-yellow wire is a protecti e
conductor while the other three wires are the phase conductors.
The main power switch is located on the control box – figure 1.
The machine is supplied with two control panels. The description of particular parts of
each panel is presented in the figure 2. The electrical system scheme is presented in
the figure 6.
10.4 HYDRA LIC SYSTEM
Straightening and mounting operations on the machine are carried out by means of
the hydraulic ser o-motors. The use of the hydraulic pump pro ides the pressure of
200 bar – the working pressure at the o erflow al e is set at 160 bar. The
monoblock two-chamber hydraulic di ider enables to change the direction of the
ser o-motor pistons mo ement. The straightening piston’s control chamber is
switched by means of the hand le er, while the adapter piston’s chamber – by means
of the electromagnets (switched on by the control panel).
The capacity of the oil tank on the hydraulic pump is about 8 litres. The oil le el is
checked on the oil indicator – figure 3.
The hydraulic system’s scheme is presented in the figure 7.
11.0 WHEEL RIM STRAIGHTENING MACHINE OPERATION
The machine is supplied with the hydraulic system to mount wheel rims. Clamping is
carried by the hydraulic ser o-motor set in the central position by means of a suitable
adapter - figure 4.
There are three mechanical pressures supplied:
- a four-bolt mechanical pressure and a fi e-bolt mechanical pressure with regulated
setting of bolts from dimension 98 mm to dimension 140 mm.
- a uni ersal mechanical pressure (three-, four-, and fi e-bolt with regulated setting of
bolts from dimension140 mm to dimension 210 mm (dimensions 98-210 mm for the
three-bolt system).
