Secure the Wheel on the Turntable
Before you can demount a Tire, you must secure the Wheel on the Turntable.
The Tire Changer supports two ways of securing a Wheel:
•
External clamping
. The Clamps are on the outside of the Tire’s Rim, pressing inwards.
•
Internal clamping
. The Clamps are on the inside of the Tire’s Rim, pressing outwards.
As a general rule, steel Wheels clamp internally and custom and mag Wheels clamp externally. Check
with your supervisor if you are unclear about which method to use for a particular Wheel.
To secure a Wheel on the Turntable
:
1.
Make sure you are wearing OSHA-approved (publication 3151) Personal Protective Equipment:
leather gloves, steel-toed work boots, back belts, hearing protection, and ANSI-approved eye
protection (safety glasses, face shield, or goggles).
2.
Identify the Narrow side of the Tire; this side goes up.
3.
Determine which clamping method you are going to use.
–
If you are clamping externally, move the Clamps all the way
out
.
–
If you are clamping internally, move the Clamps all the way
in
.
4.
Put the Wheel onto the Turntable, either between the Clamps that are all the way out for external
clamping or over the Clamps that are all the way in for internal clamping.
5.
Secure the Wheel:
–
If you are clamping externally, move the Clamps
in
until the Wheel is being held firmly in place.
–
If you are clamping internally, move the Clamps
out
until the Wheel is being held in place.
Tip
Clamping externally can be difficult with some Tires. If you are having problems getting
the Clamps to clamp externally, press down on the Wheel from above. Pushing down
from above moves the Rim away from the Tire a little, making it a little easier for the
Clamps to grab the Rim.
