IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR CHANGING SMALL AND
MEDIUM SIZE TIRES
READ ENTIRE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE YOU
CHANGE TIRES WITH THIS UNIT.
WARNING: If you don’t know how to use tire-changing tools – STOP!
Tire changing should only be done by trained persons. Improper tire changing can
result in injury or death.
Here are some safety rules to follow for using this tire machine, tire tools and
equipment:
1. Always wear approved safety eye protection when servicing tires and wheels and
whenever using hand tools.
2. Follow all tire and rim manufacturers' instructions when changing and inflating tires.
Ensure that tire and rim sizes match. Mismatched components can cause serious
injury during inflation.
3. While inflating tire, use clip-on chuck with sufficient length of hose, and hand-held
pressure valve to inflate tires. Do not use flammable materials when mounting or
demounting tires. Keep clear of trajectory zone.
4. Never use a tire tool for anything except mounting or demounting tires.
5. Use the right tool. Don’t force a small tool or attachment to do the work of a larger
industrial tool. Don’t use a tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.
6. Check for damaged or broken parts. Check for other conditions that may affect its
operation. Do not use damaged parts. Any part that is damaged should be replaced.
If replacement parts are needed, use only identical replacement parts. Only use
accessories intended for use with this tool. Approved replacement parts and
accessories are available from Ken-Tool. Check mounting bolts for proper tightness
prior to each use.
7. Completely deflate tire before attempting to break the bead or demount the tire from
rim. This requires removing the valve core and probing the valve with a wire to
remove any obstructions which may prevent air from escaping.
8. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
9. Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
10. Always return bead breaker to highest position with arm retracted when not in use, to
prevent possible injury.
