6.2 REMOVING THE TYRE
Before any operation remove the old wheel balancing weights and check that the tyre is deflated.
During arm tilting make sure that nobody stays behind the tyre-changer.
•Press pedal (H) to tilt the arm (P) thereby clearing the turntable.
•Spread the supplied grease (or grease of a similar type) onto the tyre bead.
Failure to use the grease supplied risks
causing serious damage to the tyre
bead.
During rim locking NEVER keep your hands under the tyre. For a correct locking operation set the tyre
exactly in the middle of turntable.
OUTER LOCKING
•
Position the clamps (G) according to the reference
mark on the turntable (Y) by pressing pedal (V) down
to its intermediate position.
•
Place the tyre on the clamps and, keeping the rim
pressed down, press the pedal (V) as far as it will go.
INNER LOCKING
•
Position the clamps (G) so that they are completely closed.
•
Place the tyre on the clamps and press down the pedal (V) to
open the clamps and thereby lock the rim.
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 tool.
•Return the arm (P) by pressing the pedal (H).
•Set the locking button (K) in position 2. Move th operating arm (M) until the mounting tool (I) rests on the rim upper edge. Then lock everything
by setting the locking button in position 1.
In this way, the arm gets locked both in a vertical and in a horizontal direction, while the mounting tool (I) is moved automatically of about 2
mm. from rim.
•With the lever (T) inserted between the bead and the front section of the mounting head (I), move the tyre bead over the mounting head
Note: 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)
Chains, bracelets, loose clothing or foreign objects in the vicinity of moving parts can represent a danger for
the operator.
•With the lever held in this position, let the turntable (Y) rotate in a clockwise direction by pressing pedal (Z) down until the tyre is completely
separated from the wheel rim (Fig. 17).
•In order to remove the inner tube, if there is one, without unlocking the mounting bar, tilt the arm (P) by pushing pedal (H) down.
•Repeat the operation for the other bead.
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 tool.
