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.

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.

Bead Loosening

1. After locking the wheel on the chuck, remove the

valve core and deflate the tire completely.

2. Position the bead loosening disc in one of the

square holes in the carriage closest to the outer edge of the tire.

3. Rotate the tire. While the tire is rotating, slowly

advance the bead loosening disc to contact the tire bead. Adjust the chuck up or down so the disc is close to the rim.

Do not contact the rim with the bead loosening disc. Damage to the rim may result.

4. Once the rim edge is cleared, the chuck may be

lowered to move the disc closer to the tire bead. Continue moving the disc toward the machine until the bead is loosened.

5. While the tire is still rotating, apply a liberal

amount of tire lubricant to the tire bead and the rim.

6. Raise the chuck and back the tool away from the

tire, being careful not to contact the rim.

7. Move the bead loosening disc to the rear of the

tire and repeat the steps above to loosen the rear bead.

Note:

Tire lubricant is very important in the demounting and mounting process. While the bead loosening tool is pushing the bead away from the rim edge, liberally lube both beads and the rim. FAILURE TO APPLY LUBE COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE TIRE BEAD.

Note:

Applying a liberal amount of lube to the tire sidewall prior to bead loosening will make the tire more pliable and therefore reduce the likelihood of damage to the sidewall.

Demounting

1. If the rim has an inclined edge of 15 degrees, con-

tinue the bead loosening procedure for the rear bead until the tire has been pushed off the rim.

The bead opposite the disc must be in the drop center of the rim. Damage to the bead may occur if the bead is not in the drop center.

2. If the rim has no edge, or has a stiff sidewall,

retract the disc and remove it from the carriage. Place the combo tool and tee into position near the outer rim edge.

CAUTION

Tubeless, Duplex, and Supersingle Tires

3. Tighten the locking handle and move the tool into

position near the edge of the rim, as shown above.

4. Insert the bead lifting tool between the rim and

bead at a point near the right side of the tool.

5. Pry the bead out over the rim.

Note:

You may have to assist the bead opposite the tool into the drop center. Use one of the tire tools to pry the top bead into the drop center.

6. Rotate the wheel counterclockwise while main-

taining pressure on the bead lifting tool until the first bead is off.

7. Repeat the steps above for the rear bead.

8. Retract the tool and remove the tire.

Mounting

1. LUBE BOTH BEADS LIBERALLY.

2. Roll the tire onto the carriage and lean it back

against the rim.

3. Position the combo tool near the edge of the rim

as shown. DO NOT CONTACT THE RIM.

4. Securely clamp the vise grip to the rim edge at a

position to the left of the combo tool. Rotate the chuck clockwise until the vise grip hooks the inner bead and lifts the tire.

5. Continue rotating the chuck until the first bead is

mounted. Avoid rotating the vise grip into the

combo tool.

6. Remove the vise grip and repeat the steps above

to mount the outer bead.

When mounting a tire, the bead must be started in the drop center of the rim. Failure to use the drop center could result in damage to the tire bead.

Note:

It may be necessary to push the bead(s) into

the drop center during the mounting process.

Note:

Tire lubricant greatly reduces the force needed to demount or mount a tire. Liberally lube each bead and rim edge while the bead loosener disc holds the bead away from the rim. FAILURE TO APPLY LUBE COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE TIRE BEADS.

Bead Loosening and Demounting

1. After chucking the wheel, position the bead

loosener disc against the sidewall within 1/4 inch of the lock ring. Do not contact the ring.

2. Rotate the wheel and slowly advance the bead

loosener disc until the bead is loosened. LIBERALLY LUBE THE TIRE BEAD AND RIM.

3. Use the ring tool to remove the lock ring(s).

4. Raise the tire and move the bead loosening disc

into position on the inner bead. Do not contact the rim.

5. Rotate the wheel and slowly advance the disc to

push the tire about half way off the wheel. Push the valve stem inside the wheel, then finish pushing the tire off the wheel.

The tube will be damaged if the operator fails to push the valve stem into the wheel before completely removing the tire.

Mounting

1. Roll the tire onto the carriage, and align the rim to

the center of the tire.

2. Liberally lube both beads and the rim. Slowly

advance the carriage and guide the tire onto the rim. Stop about 1/3 of the way on and insert the tube.

3. Place the bead loosening disc in the carriage.

Position it against the tire bead and push the tire onto the rim.

4. With the disc pushing on the outer sidewall, install

the ring(s).

CAUTION

Wheels with Lock Rings

Bead Loosening

1. Remove the valve core. Deflate the tire away from

the machine and remove any calcium chloride or other substances from the tire prior to rolling the wheel onto the tire changer.

2. After locking the wheel on the chuck, move the

bead loosening disc into position near the edge of the rim.

Note:

Apply a liberal amount of lube to the tire sidewall. This will regain some of the original flexibility of the rubber, thus reducing possible damage to the sidewall.

3. Rotate the wheel and slowly move the bead loos-

ening disc into the sidewall until the bead is loosened.

4. Continue to rotate the tire and apply a liberal

amount of lube to the bead and the rim.

5. Move the bead loosening tool to the inner bead

and repeat the above steps.

Note:

Demounting

1. Advance the combo tool close to the rim, with the

finger past the rim edge.

2. With the spade tool inserted between the rim and

the outer bead, on the right of the combo tool, pry the bead out over the rim edge.

3. Rotate the wheel counterclockwise while main-

taining pressure on the spade tool until the outer bead is demounted. Push the valve stem inside the rim and pull the inner tube out of the tire.

Note:

It is possible to roll one or both beads(s) off the rim with the bead loosener disc instead of the combo tool. However, care must be taken not to damage the tube or the valve stem. By alternately rotating the wheel first counterclockwise, then clockwise, being careful not to pass over the valve stem, the tire may be demounted using this method. If the tire is wide, the rim is thin or weak, or the side wall is tough, do not use this method since the bead or the rim may be damaged.

Note:

Mounting

1. Lube both beads and the rim liberally.

2. Rotate the rim so the valve stem hole is directly

on the bottom, then roll the wheel onto the carriage.

3. Move the combo tool into position near the edge

of the rim.

Note:

Mounting of the outer bead is shown in order to see the position of the tools. Position of the tools will be the same for the inner bead.

4. Lean the tire against the rim and clamp the vise

grip on the edge of the rim to the left of the combo tool. Rotate the chuck to lift off the carriage.

5. Using one of the tire tools to assist the bead into

drop center, continue rotating the chuck until the inner bead is mounted.

6. Insert the inner tube and repeat the above steps

to mount the outer bead.

Note:

Avoid damage to the valve stem by never

allowing the stem to pass the stationary tool.

Demounting

1. By operating the carriage to the extended posi-

tion, the table will be rotated to the horizontal position.

2. Place the tire and rim over the table top by rolling

into place and then leaning back onto the table.

3. Again, using carriage handle, rotate table back to

vertical position. As this occurs, the tire and rim will follow and end up sitting on top of the table.

Ensure that table cylinder is retracted when the above operation is done so there will be no damage to the cylinder shaft.

4. When the table is in the vertical position, manually

center the tire and rim so that it lies perpendicular to the table cylinder.

5. Place the tire compressor on top of the tire and

pin it to the clevis affixed to the table cylinder.

Adjust the four arms of the compressor to just clear the lock ring. Tighten all of the "T" handles so they won't move.

Ensure at this point that the tire has been completely deflated and the valve core removed from the valve stem.

6. Compress the retaining ring and tire down enough

to clear the lock ring. Using the ring tool, remove the lock ring.

7. Extend the table cylinder and remove the com-

pressor, lock ring, retaining ring and rim seal.

8. Rotate table to the horizontal position. Remove

tire and rim, then replace them after turning them 180 degrees.

9. Rotate table back to vertical position.

Note:

Rim face should now be on bottom.

10. Reinstall compressor and pin it to the clevis

affixed to the table cylinder.

12. Remove compressor and rim from table top.

13. Rotate table to horizontal position and remove

inner and outer tire from table.

14. Roll tire onto carriage platform and clamp bead

into deepest "V" in jaws.

The hydraulic pressure regulator knob, located on the swinging pod front, should be set at minimum pressure. Also, care should be taken to ensure that the beads are not overly stretched.

15. Using the longest of the two nylon web straps,

place the strap around the top of the inner tire and the cross brace of the table linkage. The carriage should be in the retracted position. Using socket and ratchet, tighten strap as shown.

Note:

The vertical cylinder should be lowered to a

point where the tire just clears the carriage.

16. Move the carriage to the extended position,

thus pulling the inner tire out of the outer tire. If the two tires are not separated when the carriage has reached its extended position, further travel can be reached by raising the vertical cylinder until the two tires are separated.

17. Remove the web strap from the inner tire, and

remove the outer tire from the clamps of the machine.

CAUTION

Mounting

1. Place the two inner tire side plates into the car-

riage forward holes facing each other as shown above.

2. Place the shortest nylon web strap down on the

center of the two side plates.

Note: Ensure that the ratchet end of the strap is to the

outboard of the side plates and the flat side is facing up.

3. Roll the inner tire over the strap and between the

two side plates. Ensure that the two slits in the inner tire are placed opposite one another and parallel to the ground.

4. Compress the inner tire by pushing down on it

with the clamps.

Note:

The jaws should be spread to a point that the arms are parallel to the ground. While compressing the inner tire, ensure that the inner tire is maintained in a vertical position.

5. After the inner tire is compressed to its lowest

point, place strap around inner tire and tighten with socket and ratchet as shown above.

6. Raise the clamps and remove the strapped inner

tire from the side plates. Then remove the side plates from the carriage.

7. Roll the outer tire onto the carriage and clamp the

bead into the deepest "V" in jaws.

The hydraulic pressure regulator knob, located on the swinging pod front, should again be set at minimum pressure. Also, care should be taken to ensure that the beads are not overly stretched.

8. Place the two bead spreaders into the lower edge

of the bead with the other end hooked into the openings of the tire ramps (angles welded to the side rails). Then, lift the tire up until the bead is spread open slightly.

Note:

Apply a liberal amount of lube to the front bead of the outer tire and the edges of the spreaders in the area of the bead.

There are two methods of spreading the tire with the

roller tool.

Method A:

1. With the first bead removed, hook the roller tool

over the outer bead and move the tool away from the rim to spread the beads and gain access to the inside of the tire.

Method B:

1. With the tire completely demounted and the rim

removed from the clamps, hook the inner bead over the clamps and the roller tool over the outer bead. Move the tool away from the inner bead to gain access to the inside of the tire.

Tire Spreading

Note:

The wheel can be rotated with the roller tool still in place, but the tool should be moved toward the wheel slightly. This will relieve some of the pressure on the bead, thus avoiding any damage, which might occur from over stretching the bead.
