P/N 5900158 — Rev. F - March 2022
Prepare the Lube Bucket
The Tire Changer comes with a Lube Bucket (to hold your Lube) and a Lube Brush (to apply your Tire
Lube).
BendPak Ranger does not include any Tire Lube with the Tire Changer, as there are many options
available.
⚠
CAUTION
Only use Tire Lube that is approved by the Tire manufacturer for the Tire you are
changing. Using non-approved Lube could corrode the Wheel or cause Tire/Wheel
slippage and vibration issues.
Be sure to use enough lubricant without using too much. The point of lubricant is to
temporarily
reduce the friction between the Tire Bead area and the Rim. What you are looking for is a lubricant that
is slippery when wet but not slippery once dried. If you notice excessive amounts of lubricant on the
Tire or Rim, remove the excess.
There is a location on the Tire Changer for the Lube Bucket: between the Bead Breaker and the
Turntable.
Top view. Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown.
