Unpacking
Once you have found an appropriate location for the Tire Changer, you can take off the Cover, take it
off the shipping Pallet, move it to the desired location, and then get it ready for operation.
Use caution when taking the Tire Changer out of its shipping container
. You do not
want to damage the unit, misplace any of the components that come with it, or hurt anyone.
⚠
WARNING
Make sure to use an appropriate lifting device, such as a Forklift or Pallet Jack, to
move the Tire Changer while it is on its shipping Pallet. Make sure
only
personnel
who are trained in and experienced with material handling procedures are allowed
to move the Tire Changer. The Tire Changer is heavy and the weight is not evenly
distributed; dropping or knocking over the unit may cause equipment damage or
personal injury. BendPak Ranger recommends having at least two people work
together to move the Tire Changer.
We recommend unpacking the Tire Changer as close as possible to the desired final location.
To unpack the Tire Changer
:
1.
At the bottom of the Cover, push all of the metal tabs all the way down, on all four sides.
You may have to apply some force to get the metal tabs facing all the way down.
2.
Lift the Cover off.
⚠
CAUTION
Ranger recommends having at least two people lift the Cover off; it is heavy and
awkward. If it is dropped or falls, it could cause injury or equipment damage.
3.
Remove the Accessory Box.
4.
Move the uninstalled Storage Cabinet and Bead Breaker Mechanism out of the way.
5.
Remove the bolts that hold the Tire Changer to the Pallet.
6.
Move the Tire Changer off the Pallet, then move it to the desired location.
The Tire Changer can be moved off the Pallet using a Forklift under either of the sides or by lifting it
using an appropriate lifting device (such as a Shop Crane) with a strap secured around the top of
the Tilt-Back Tower (but
not
around either of the Assist Towers).
⚠
WARNING
Use extra care when moving the Tire Changer off the shipping Pallet. The Tire
Changer is heavy and the weight is not evenly distributed. Dropping or knocking
over the unit may cause equipment damage or personal injury.
7.
Remove the plastic wrap around the Tire Changer and other components.
Note
: Many of the Tire Changer components have been greased for shipping. BendPak Ranger
recommends having some rags nearby when unpacking, as you will almost certainly
touch something that is greased.
8.
Untie the components that are tied together and remove the wood stabilizing pieces.
9.
Clean the shipping grease off of the components that will be touched during normal operation of
the Tire Changer, as letting them stay greased would hinder normal operation.
You can leave the Shaft greased.
