ATTENTION!

The TC289 Tire Changer now has an improved turntable size. Please

read the information below.

Due to our continuous efforts to improve our products’ features and performance, the
published specifications of these products are sometimes updated to maintain accuracy.

Your TC289 Tire Changer has a new, larger sized turntable. The clamping ranges that are
listed on pages 8 and 15 in the TC289 Installation and Service Manual have been
changed to show this improvement. The new turntable clamping ranges are listed below:

External Clamping Range

Position 1) 11 7/8" - 26"
Position 2) 12 7/8" - 27"
Position 3) 13 3/4" - 28"

Internal Clamping Range

Position 1) 13 7/8" - 27 7/8"
Position 2) 14 5/8" - 28 7/8"
Position 3) 15 5/8" - 29 7/8"

External Locking Rim Dimension

(With Flip Adapters in the ATV Configuration)
Position 1) 4 7/8" - 19"
Position 2) 5 3/4" - 20"
Position 3) 6 3/4" - 20 7/8"

External Locking Rim Dimension

(With Flip Adapters in the Motorcycle Configuration)
Position 1) 15" - 29 1/8"
Position 2) 15 7/8" - 30"
Position 3) 16 7/8" - 31"

Note: The ranges listed above are actual measurements in inches. These do not indicate
specific wheel sizes. Most vehicle wheels are larger than their nominal size. For example,
a 16” wheel may be up to 17.5” in actual diameter.

Because of variances in wheel designs, a specific clamping range measurement does not
guarantee that a particular wheel size can always be clamped into place.

CHAPTER 3 – TRANSPORTATION, UNPACKING AND STORAGE

3.1 TRANSPORTATION

x The tire changer must be transported in its original packaging and kept in the position shown

on the package itself.

x The packaged machine may be moved by means of a fork lift truck of suitable capacity. Insert

the forks at the points shown in figure 3.

3.2 UNPACKING

x Remove the protective cardboard and the nylon bag.
x Check that the equipment is in perfect condition, making sure that no parts are damaged or

If in doubt do not use the machine and contact your retailer.

3.3 STORAGE
