Safety Instructions
WARNING
Failure to follow danger, warning, and caution
instructions may lead to serious personal
injury or death to operator or bystander or
damage to property. Do not operate this
machine until you read and understand all
the dangers, warnings, and cautions in this
manual. For additional copies of either, or

Owner’s Responsibility
To maintain machine and user safety, the responsibility
of the owner is to read and follow these instructions:
• Follow all installation instructions.
• Make sure installation conforms to all applicable
Local, State, and Federal Codes, Rules, and Regulations; such as State and Federal OSHA Regulations
and Electrical Codes.
• Carefully check the unit for correct initial function.
• Read and follow the safety instructions. Keep
them readily available for machine operators.
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.

Safety Instructions
WARNING
Only properly trained personnel should service tires on the H.I.T. 6000. Read all safety
and operation instructions thoroughly
before using the tire changer.
ALWAYS remove all wheel weights and the valve core
to deflate the tire before servicing.
ALWAYS cover the electric motor and switch box
before hosing down the tire changer. Be sure water
does not enter the motor or switch box.
ALWAYS disconnect the electric power and air supply
before attempting any maintenance.
ALWAYS keep all working surfaces clean and free of
tire lube buildup.
ALWAYS be aware of what each person is and will do
before attempting any two-person operation.
Bead Loosening
NEVER place anything between the bead loosener
disc and the tire/wheel.
NEVER place any part of your body between the bead
loosener disc and the tire/wheel, severe bodily injury
may result.
NEVER allow the bead loosener to contact the wheel,
wheel damage may occur.
Demounting & Mounting
NEVER stand on the working table while demounting
or mounting a tire.
Inflation
ALWAYS follow all applicable Local, State, and Federal
Codes, Rules, and Regulations; such as the Federal
OSHA Standard Number 1910.177.
NEVER seat beads or inflate a tire on the tire changer.
The H.I.T. 6000 is not designed as a safety device or
stand for bead seating or inflation.
ALWAYS use an approved inflation chamber or inflation
cage.
The following safety instructions are for one piece
wheels only. Refer to the manufacturer’s or R.M.A. procedures for multi-piece wheels.
ALWAYS use an approved inflation chamber or inflation
cage equipped with a grip chuck and a remote inflation
gauge and valve. DO NOT OVER INFLATE! Tire or wheel
failure during and after inflation may result in an explosion capable of causing severe injury or death.
ALWAYS inflate the tire to manufacturer’s recommended cold operating pressure.
NEVER reinflate a tire that has been run under-inflated
or flat without first demounting the tire and checking for
wheel and tire damage.
ALWAYS inspect the tire interior for loose or broken
cords, cuts, penetrating objects, and other damage
to the carcass. Discard tires that cannot be properly
repaired.
NEVER rework, weld, heat or braze wheels.
NEVER strike the tire or wheel with a hammer.
ALWAYS be sure the tire diameter exactly matches the
wheel diameter.
ALWAYS keep hands, feet, and other objects away
from moving parts while the machine in turned on.
ALWAYS place the narrow bead seat to the outside
when clamping. Failure to demount the tire from the
narrow bead seat side may cause damage to the tire
beads.
ALWAYS apply an approved rubber lubricant to rim
flanges and both tire beads before demounting or
mounting and seating the beads. NEVER use antifreeze,
silicone, or petroleum base lubricants.
ALWAYS clean and inspect the wheel.
NEVER mount a tire on a damaged or rusty wheel.
Wheel damage or rust may cause tire or wheel failure
during inflation. Explosion from failure may result in
severe injury or death of the operator and bystanders.
ALWAYS be sure the bead opposite the tool is in the
drop center before rotating the tire when demounting
or mounting to avoid damage to the tire beads.
DANGER
Tire failure under pressure can be hazardous.
Place the wheel inside an approved inflation
chamber or cage before inflating. Use an
approved remote inflation valve, hose, and
gauge. ALWAYS wear safety goggles for eye
protection. Do not stand beside the wheel
or cage during inflation. Keep hands and
other parts of the body out of the cage during inflation. Observe the tire pressure frequently. Do not exceed the manufacturer’s
recommended maximum inflation pressure.
Failure to follow these instructions may
cause the tire and rim to separate with tremendous force, resulting in serious personal
injury or death.
