RV1 Wheel Guardian™ Tire Changer
16
P/N 5900089 — Rev. A — March 2019
Connecting to an Air Source
The Tire Changer requires a 15 to 25 CFM Air Source with an operating air pressure of 140 to 165 PSI
(9.6 to 11.4 bar).
The Tire Changer uses pneumatic and electrical energy; if your organization has Lockout/Tagout
policies, make sure to implement them after connecting to the Air Source.
The incoming Air Source connects to the Tire Changer via the Air In connector on the left side of the
Regulator/Filter. You need to provide a fitting for the Air In connector; it is not supplied.
Drawing not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown. Note that the air lines going to the Assist
Tower/Tire Inflations and the Foot Pedals/Pneumatics come connected and ready for use; no
installation or adjustment is required.
There are three main components of the Air Source:
•
Incoming Air
. The Tire Changer requires an air source of 15 to 25 CFM that has an operating air
pressure of 140 to 165 PSI (9.6 to 11.4 bar).
You need to supply a fitting for the Air In connector.
•
Regulator / Filter
. Removes contaminants from the Incoming Air. It also includes a gauge that
shows the operating air pressure of the Incoming Air. If you see water in the Water Sight Gauge,
you can drain it using the Water Drain Plug. Refer to
Maintenance
for more information. Air that
passes through the Regular/Filter – that does not go to Foot Pedals or other pneumatic
components of the Tire Changer – are routed to the Assist Tower and to Tire Inflations.
•
Oiler / Lubricator
. Puts pneumatic oil, for lubrication, into the Incoming Air. This lubricated air is
routed to the Foot Pedals and other pneumatic components of the Tire Changer. It is very
important to make sure the oil feed rate is correct, 1 or 2 drops of oil per use of the Up or Down
Foot Pedals. Refer to
Maintenance
for more information.
