4.3 COMMISSIONING
Any electric connection job must be carried out by professionally qualified
personnel.
Make sure that the power supply is right.
Make sure the connection of the phases is right. Improper electrical hook-up
can damage motor and will not be covered under warranty.
xCheck to make sure the characteristics of your systems correspond to those required by the
machine. If you have to change the machine’s operating voltage, make the necessary
adjustments to the terminal board referring to the electric diagram in chapter 9.
xConnect the machine to the compressed air system by means of the air connection (Q) that
protrudes from the rear section.
Connect the machine to the electric network, which must be provided with lin
e
fuses, a good earth plate in compliance with regulations in force and it must b
e
connected to an automatic circuit breaker (differential) set at 30 mA.
Should the tire-changer be lacking in electric plug, the user must set one, which
is at least 16 A and which conforms to the voltage of the machine, in compliance
with the regulations in force.
4.4 OPERATING TESTS
xWhen pedal (Z) is pressed down the turntable (Y) should turn in a clockwise direction. When
pedal is pulled up the turntable should turn in an anticlockwise direction.
If the turntable turns in the opposite direction to that shown, reverse two of the
wires in the tree-phase plug.
xPressing the pedal (U) activates the bead breaker
(R); when the pedal is released the bead breaker
returns to its original position.
xPressing the pedal (V) opens the four clamps
(G); when the pedal is pressed again they close.
xPressing the trigger on the airline gauge cause
air to be released from the head.

4.5 TURNTABLE LOCKING VALUE ADJUSTING
The tire changer turntable is preset by the manufacturer on a range measure from 3.6” to 14” ext.
(clamping the rim outer side). It is however possible to change this dimension range from 10” to 22”
ext. in case of need when working on larger rims, shown in the figures below.
The obtainable value starts from a minimum of 3.6”-14” ext. until a maximum of 10” - 22” ext.
It is important to perform the above mentioned operation for all the 4 clamps to
avoid any unbalance in locking phase.

REV. 01 2013 15 / 24
CHAPTER 5 – OPERATION
Do not use the machine until you have read and understood the entire manual
and the warning provided.
Before carrying out any operation, deflate the tire and take off all the wheel
balancing weights.
The operation of the tire changer is divided into three parts:
a) BREAKING THE BEAD b) REMOVING THE TIRE c) MOUNTING THE TIRE
It is advised to equip the tire changer with the pressure regulator.
5.1 BREAKING THE BEAD
Bead breaking must be done with the utmost care and attention. When the bead
breaker pedal is operated the bead breaker arm moves quickly and powerfully.
Anything within its arrange of action can be in danger of being crushed.
xCheck that the tire is deflated. If not, deflate it.
xClose the turntable clamps completely.
Bead breaking with the clamps in open position can be extremely dangerous for
operator’s hands.
During bead breaking operations NEVER touch the side of the tire.
xPosition the wheel against the rubber stops on the right side of the tire changer (S).
xPosition the bead breaker (R) against the tire bead at a distance of about 1 cm from the rim (fig.
8). Pay attention to the blade, which must operate correctly onto the tire and not onto the rim.
xPress down the pedal (U) to activate the bead breaker and release it when the blade has reached
the end of its travel or in any case when the bead is broken.
xRotate the tire slightly and repeat the operation around the entire circumference if the rim and
from both sides until the bead is completely detached from the rim.

REV. 01 2013 16 / 24
5.2 REMOVING THE TIRE
Before any operation make sure to remove the old wheel balancing weights and
check that the tire is deflated.
During arm tilting make sure that nobody stats behind the tire changer.
xSpread the supplied grease (or grease of a similar type) onto the tire bead.
Failure to use the grease could cause serious damage to the tire bead.
During rim locking MEVER keep your hands under the tire. For a correct
locking operation set the tire exactly in the middle of turntable.
Make sure that the rim is firmly fixed to the clamps.
Never keep your hands onto the wheel: the arm recovery to “working position”
could set the operator at risk of hand crushing between rim and mounting head.
xLower the mounting bar (M) so that the mounting head (I) rests against the edge of the rim and
lock it using the lever (K). This will lock the arm in both vertical and horizontal direction and
move the mounting head (I) of about 2 mm from the rim.
xWith the lever (T) inserted between the bead and the front section of the mounting head (I),
move the tire bead over the mounting head.
xWith the lever held in this position, rotate the turntable (Y) in a clockwise direction by pressing
pedal (Z) down until the tire is completely separated from the wheel rim.
xRemove the inner tube if there is one and repeat the operation for the other bead.
In order to avoid damaging the inner tube if there is one, it is advisable to carry
out this operation with the valve about 10 cm right of the mounting head. (Fig.
16)
INNER LOCKING
xPosition the clamps (G) so that they are
completely closed.
xPlace the tire on the clamps and press the
pedal (V) to open the clamps and thereby
lock the rim.
OUTER LOCKING
xPosition the clamps (G) according to the
reference mark on the turntable (Y) by
pressing pedal (V) down to its
intermediate position.
xPlace the tire on the clamps and keeping
the rim pressed down, press the pedal (V)
as far as it will go.

REV. 01 2013 17 / 24
5.3 MOUNTING THE TIRE
It is utmost important to check the tire and rim to prevent tire explosion during
the inflating operations. Before beginning mounting operation, make sure that:
The tire and cord fabric are not damaged. If you note defects DO NOT mount
the tire.
The rim is without dents and is not warped. Pay attention to alloy rims, internal
micro-cracks are not visible to naked eye. This can compromise the rim and can
also be a source of danger especially during inflation.
The diameter of the rim and tire are exactly the same. NEVER try to mount a
tire on a rim if you cannot identify the diameter of both.
xLubricate the tire beads with the special grease in order to avoid damaging them and to
facilitate the mounting operations.
During rim locking MEVER keep your hands under the tire. For a correct
locking operation set the tire exactly in the middle of turntable.
When working with rims of the same size it is not necessary always to lock and
unlock the mounting bar; you only need to tilt and return the ram (P) with the
arm and the bar locked in their working positions.
Never keep your hands onto the wheel: the arm recovery to “working position”
could set the operator at risk of hand crushing between rim and mounting head.
Chains, bracelets, loose clothing or foreign objects in the vicinity of the moving
parts can represent a danger for the operator.
Fig. 9

REV. 01 2013 18 / 24
xMove the tire so that the bead passes below the front section of the mounting head and is
brought up against the edge of the rear section of the mounting head itself.
xKeeping the tire bead pressed down into the wheel rim channel with your hands, press down on
the pedal (Z) to rotate the turntable clockwise. Continue until you have covered the entire
circumference of the wheel rim (Fig. 12).
To prevent industrial accidents, keep hands and other parts of the body as far as
possible from the tool arm when the table top is turning.
xInsert the inner tube if there is one and repeat the same operations to mount the upper side of
the tire.
Demounting and mounting are always done with the clockwise turntable
rotation. Anticlockwise rotation is used only to correct operator’s errors or if
the turntable stalls.
