Safety
Failure to follow danger, warning, and caution

death to operator or bystander or damage to property. Do not operate this machine until you read

Operator Protective
Equipment
Personal protective equipment helps make tire servicing safer. However, equipment does not take the
place of safe operating practices. Always wear durable
work clothing during tire service activity. Loose fitting
clothing should be avoided. Tight fitting leather gloves
are recommended to protect operator’s hands when
handling worn tires and wheels. Sturdy leather work
shoes with steel toes and oil resistant soles should be
used by tire service personnel to help prevent injury in
typical shop activities. Eye protection is essential during tire service activity. Safety glasses with side
shields, goggles, or face shields are acceptable. Back
belts provide support during lifting activities and are
also helpful in providing operator protection.
Consideration should also be given to the use of hearing protection if tire service activity is performed in an
enclosed area, or if noise levels are high.

H.I.T. 5000H
Installation
It is not necessary to bolt the H.I.T. 5000H to the
floor. However, if desired, use the holes provided in
the base of the machine.
Most electrical codes require machinery
that is permanently installed to be wired
directly to the power source via conduit.
Remove the H.I.T. 5000H from the shipping pallet
and position on a relatively level and smooth floor,
preferably concrete.
Important:
Read this operators manual thoroughly
before attempting to change any tires. Also, actuate
the controls several times to become familiar with
their function and direction.
Electric Installation
The H.I.T. 5000H requires 220 volts, 60 cycle, single
phase power, with a 20 amp circuit. An optional model
is available for 110 volt, single phase.
Important:
Have a licensed electrician connect the
H.I.T. 5000H to the power source. The licensed electrician must sign the warranty registration card to validate the warranty.

The self-centering chuck is powered by the high pres-
sure hydraulic system to securely lock onto the wheel.
Important: The hydraulic pressure regulator knob,
located on the swinging pod front, should normally be
set to 1500 PSI. This pressure should be reduced when
mounting or demounting weak or light weight wheels.
1. Roll the wheel onto the platform with the drop
center (or the split ring) away from the chuck. Position
the valve stem between two of the jaw clamps so the
stem will not be damaged when the wheel is clamped.
2. Rotate the chuck until one of the jaw clamps is in
the 12 o'clock position.
3. Open the jaw clamps slightly larger than the open-
ing you are clamping, then move the jaw clamps up or
down to the approximate center of the wheel. Refer to
the wheel drawings on this page for suggested methods of clamping various types of wheels.
4. Lower the jaw clamps until you can position the
wheel on the top jaw clamp. Raise the chuck, which
will also raise the wheel off the platform.
5. Slowly retract the jaw clamps until the wheel falls
into the proper position for clamping. Clamp the wheel
by pulling the control lever toward you until the
hydraulic motor stalls. Release the handle and the
wheel is ready for mounting or demounting.
