Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What does a Tire Changer do?

Answer: A Tire Changer takes Tires off of Wheels (called demounting) and puts Tires onto Wheels

(called mounting).

Q: What is the difference between a Tire, Wheel, and Rim?

A: A Wheel is the round

piece that surrounds the Wheel. The outer edge of the Wheel, where the Tire attaches to the
Wheel, is called the Rim.

Q: What are the steps in the process of demounting a Tire and then mounting a new Tire?

A: The steps are: Secure the Wheel on the Turntable, deflate the Tire, break the Bead, demount the

Tire, mount the new Tire, inflate the new Tire, then remove the Wheel from the Turntable.

Q: What does “break the Bead” mean?

A: A Tire is held on the Rim of a Wheel by the Tire Bead sitting between the Rim Lip and the Bead

Retainer of the Rim. The air in the Tire holds it in place. When you “break the Bead”, you move the
Tire Bead out of its location between the Rim Lip and the Bead Retainer, which is required if you
want to take the Tire off of the Wheel.

metal

piece that attaches to the Vehicle’s axle. A Tire is the round

rubber

Q: Can I break the Bead without fully deflating the Tire?

A: No, do not do this.

The air pressure energy in a Tire, even if not fully inflated, can be considerable. If you were to
attempt to break the Bead of a Tire not fully deflated, that air pressure energy would be released
all at once, possibly injuring or, in rare cases, killing the Operator or bystanders.

Q: What thing should I always do when working with the RV1 Tire Changer?

A: You must match Rim Width for the Tire you are mounting. The result of a mismatch is that the Tire

could literally explode off the Wheel when you reinflate it or while the Vehicle is being driven. In
both cases, people could be injured or killed.

Q: Where should I put my Tire Changer?

A: What you want is a flat Concrete floor with room around it that is also near where you work on

Tires. Ideally, you want it a little off the beaten path, as you must – for safety – keep everyone
away from the Tire Changer while it is in use. For safety, no one other than the Tire Changer
Operator should be within 30 feet of the Tire Changer while it is being used.

Q: Why isn’t there a plug on the end of the Power Cord?

A: 220 VAC plugs vary by region, so you need to use one that is appropriate for the power outlet

where you will be using your Tire Changer. You
power cord and plug in accordance with applicable electrical codes.

Finding a Location

Keep the following in mind when deciding on a location:

• Power source. The Tire Changer needs to be near an appropriate 220 VAC power source.

• Floor. The Tire Changer is best used on a flat, Concrete floor.

• Accessibility. You need some space to move the Wheels whose Tires you are going to change

to and from the Tire Changer.

• Danger. When a Tire is on the Tire Changer, especially during Inflation, you need to keep

everyone far away from it; only the Tire Changer Operator should be near it. Except for the Tire
Changer Operator, all other people must be kept at least 30 feet away from the Tire Changer.

Do not set up the Tire Changer in a well-travelled area

• No water. The Tire Changer has electronic components. If the Tire Changer gets wet while

turned on, those electronic components will most likely short circuit and have to be replaced.

.

⚠ WARNING Do not use the Tire Changer if it is sitting in water. You will almost certainly short

circuit the electronic components in the Tire Changer and you could electrocute
yourself.

Unpacking

Use caution when taking the Tire Changer out of its shipping container. You do not want to damage
the unit, misplace any of the components that come with it, or hurt anyone.

⚠ CAUTION Make sure to use an appropriate lifting device, such as a forklift or pallet jack, to

move the Tire Changer while it is on its pallet. Make sure only personnel who are
experienced with material handling procedures are allowed to move the Tire
Changer. The Tire Changer is heavy and the weight is not evenly distributed;
dropping or knocking over the unit may cause equipment damage or personal
injury.

We recommend you unpack the Tire Changer in the area where you are going to set it up.

To unpack the Tire Changer:

1. Where the Cover meets the Pallet, push the metal tabs all the way down, on all four sides.

2. Lift the Cover off.

You may have to apply some force to get all of the metal tabs free; they sometimes stick a little.

3. Remove the plastic wrap around the Tire Changer and other components.

4. Remove the Accessory Box.

5. Remove the shipping bolts that are holding the Tire Changer to the Pallet.

6. Move the Tire Changer off the Pallet, then move it to the desired location.

⚠ CAUTION Ranger recommends having at least two people move the Tire Changer; it is heavy

and the weight is not evenly distributed. If it is dropped or falls, it could cause
injuries and the Tire Changer could be damaged.

Refer to Finding a Location and Clearances for additional location information.

RV1 Wheel Guardian™ Tire Changer 13 P/N 5900089 — Rev. A — March 2019

Anchoring the Tire Changer

The Tire Changer has holes for anchoring it into place; anchoring is optional.

Note: You are not required to anchor your Tire Changer. BendPak Ranger recommends doing

so, as the Tire Changer applies a certain amount of force at various times during the
changing of a Tire. Anchoring it ensures it will not move during operation.

The Anchor Bolts (sometimes called Wedge Anchors) mentioned in the following procedure are
supplied with the Tire Changer.

To anchor the Tire Changer:

1. Make sure the Tire Changer is in the desired location.

Remember that you need to allow some space around the Tire Changer. Refer to Finding a

Location for additional information.

2. Using the holes as guides, drill the holes for the Anchor Bolts.

Go in straight; do not let the drill wobble. Use a carbide bit (conforming to ANSI B212.15-1994).

The diameter of the drill bit must be the same as the diameter of the Anchor Bolt. So if you are
using an M10 diameter Anchor Bolt, for example, use an M10 diameter drill bit.

4. Make sure the Washer and Nut are in place, then insert the Anchor Bolt into the hole.

The Expansion Sleeve of the Anchor Bolt may prevent the Anchor Bolt from passing through the
hole in the Base Plate; this is normal. Use a hammer or mallet to get the Expansion Sleeve through
the Base Plate and into the hole.

Even using a hammer or mallet, the Anchor Bolt should only go into the hole part of the way; this is
normal. If the Anchor Bolt goes all the way in with little or no resistance, the hole is too wide.

Adjusting the Foot Pedal Covers

The Tire Changer has two Foot Pedal Covers, both shown in the drawing in the Components
section.

During shipping, the eight bolts that hold the Foot Pedal Covers in place can get pushed up, the result
being that when you are ready to use the Tire Changer, the Foot Pedals do not work correctly.

To make sure this does not happen, you need to adjust the Foot Pedal Covers
Tire Changer into normal operation.

The eight bolts are all 6 mm hex bolts, so you will need a 6 mm hex wrench for this procedure.

Important: Do not perform this procedure until after the Tire Changer is anchored in place, if you

are going to anchor it.

To adjust the Foot Pedal Covers:

1. Loosen each of the eight 6 mm hex bolts that hold the Foot Pedal Covers in place.

RV1 Wheel Guardian™ Tire Changer 15 P/N 5900089 — Rev. A — March 2019

Connecting to an Air Source

The Tire Changer requires a 15 to 25 CFM Air Source with an operating air pressure of 140 to 165 PSI
(9.6 to 11.4 bar).

The Tire Changer uses pneumatic and electrical energy; if your organization has Lockout/Tagout
policies, make sure to implement them after connecting to the Air Source.

The incoming Air Source connects to the Tire Changer via the Air In connector on the left side of the
Regulator/Filter. You need to provide a fitting for the Air In connector; it is not supplied.

Drawing not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown. Note that the air lines going to the Assist
Tower/Tire Inflations and the Foot Pedals/Pneumatics come connected and ready for use; no
installation or adjustment is required.

There are three main components of the Air Source:

• Incoming Air. The Tire Changer requires an air source of 15 to 25 CFM that has an operating air

pressure of 140 to 165 PSI (9.6 to 11.4 bar). You need to supply a fitting for the Air In connector.

• Regulator / Filter. Removes contaminants from the Incoming Air. It also includes a gauge that

shows the operating air pressure of the Incoming Air. If you see water in the Water Sight Gauge,
you can drain it using the Water Drain Plug. Refer to Maintenance for more information. Air that
passes through the Regular/Filter – that does not go to Foot Pedals or other pneumatic
components of the Tire Changer – are routed to the Assist Tower and to Tire Inflations.

• Oiler / Lubricator. Puts pneumatic oil, for lubrication, into the Incoming Air. This lubricated air is

routed to the Foot Pedals and other pneumatic components of the Tire Changer. It is very
important to make sure the oil feed rate is correct, 1 or 2 drops of oil per use of the Up or Down
Foot Pedals. Refer to Maintenance for more information.

RV1 Wheel Guardian™ Tire Changer 16 P/N 5900089 — Rev. A — March 2019

Connecting to a Power Source

The Tire Changer has to be connected to a 208-230 VAC power source.

A Power Cord with no Plug is provided with the unit. You need to have a licensed, certified Electrician
wire the open end of the Power Cord to an appropriate 208-230 VAC NEMA 30 Amp Plug.

Refer to Plug Wiring Information for additional wiring information.

⚠ WARNING All electrical work

Additional electrical information:

• Make sure wiring is done in accordance with National Electric Code (NED) and local codes and

standards covering electrical apparatus and wiring.

• Operation with no Ground can damage electronics and could create a shock hazard.

• Damage caused by improper electrical installation (not grounding the unit, for example) voids the

warranty.

• The Tire Changer uses pneumatic and electrical energy; if your organization has Lockout/Tagout

policies, make sure to implement them after connecting to the power source.

• Make sure that adequate wire sizes are used, service is of adequate amp rating, the supply line

has the same electrical characteristics (voltage, cycles, and phase) as the motor, and that no other
equipment is operated from the same line.

• Electrical codes may require “hard-wiring” when the machine is anchored to the floor. Consult a

Prepare the Tire Lube Bucket

The Tire Changer comes with a Tire Lube Bucket (to hold your Tire Lube) and a Tire Lube Brush (to
apply your Tire Lube).

BendPak Ranger does not include any Tire Lube with the Tire Changer, as there are many options
available.

⚠ CAUTION Only use Tire Lube that is approved by the Tire manufacturer. Using non-approved

Tire Lube could corrode the Wheel or cause Tire/Wheel slippage and vibration
issues.

Be sure to use enough lubricant without using too much. The point of lubricant is to
reduce the friction between the Tire Bead area and the Rim. What you are looking for is a lubricant that
is slippery when wet but not slippery once dried. If you notice excessive amounts of lubricant on the
Tire or Rim, remove it.

There is a location on the Tire Changer for the Tire Lube Bucket near the Quick-Nut.

Drawing is not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown. View is from above.

coated with oil to protect them. Until you clean the oil off of them, either wear gloves, keep a
rag handy, or be prepared to wash your hands frequently.

The Quick-Nut has multiple parts.

The parts of the Quick-Nut and their functions are:

• Handle. Lets you easily pick up the Quick-Nut and move it around.

• Quick-Release Lever. Lets you quickly put on or take off the Quick-Nut. Twist both Levers to

prevent the Wings from engaging the threads in the Threaded Shaft; release when you want the
Wings to engage the Threaded Shaft.

• Wing. Used to tighten the Quick-Nut on, or loosen it from, the Threaded Shaft, depending on

whether you are securing the Wheel on the Turntable or taking the Wheel off the Turntable. After
securing a Wheel to the Turntable, fold up the Wings to get them out of the way.

• Cones and Adapters. The Quick-Nut has several different sized Cones and Adapters you can

use to firmly secure the Wheel in place. The two large metal Cones come with yellow plastic
protectors for securing aluminum rims (so you do not scratch or mar the rims).

• Threaded Shaft. Goes into the hole in the center of the Turntable, which holds the Wheel in

place.

There is a location on the Tire Changer to hold the Quick-Nut when it is not being used; refer to the
drawing in Components for the exact location.

Lube the Post

The Tire Changer Post needs to be lubed so that both Tool Arms can easily slide up and down as
required.

The Tire Changer comes from the factory with a packet of petroleum jelly for lubing the Post. The
packet is located inside the Lube Bucket.

⚠ CAUTION

The petroleum jelly for lubing the Post is not a Tire Lube

to lube Tires. Once the Post is lubricated with the petroleum jelly, do not lean on it
or touch it. When you run out of the provided petroleum jelly, you can replace it with
more petroleum jelly or Vaseline®.

. Do not use it

Test the Tire Changer

Make sure the following items have been done before putting the Tire Changer prior to normal
operation:

• Check for pneumatic (air) pressure. The Tire Changer requires pneumatic energy to

perform many of its functions. You can press the Lock Button on the Tool Arm Handle to make
sure the Tire Changer is getting air; you will hear a whoosh of air when you press the button if it is
getting air. If it is not, check the air source.

• Test the power source. Other Tire Changer functions require electric power. Step on and hold

down the Rotation Foot Pedal to check for electric power. If the Turntable turns, you have electric
power.

• Test the Laser. Press the Laser On/Off button to see if the red laser dot appears on the

Turntable. If it does, the Laser is working.

• Test the Tire Lift. Step on and hold down the Up Foot Pedal. If the Tire Lift starts moving up,

then the Tire Lift is working. You do not need to have a Tire on the Tire Lift to test it.

• Make sure there is Tire lubricant available. Your shop probably has a brand of Tire lube

that it prefers. Make sure some is in the Lube Bucket on the Tire Changer. Always use Tire lube; it
just makes changing Tires easier, including helping to prevent damage to the Tire and the Wheel.

• Make sure the Turntable turns. Step on and hold down the Rotation Foot Pedal. If the

Turntable starts turning, then the Turntable is working.

• Test both Tool Arms. Use the Tool Arm Handle to move both Tool Arms in or out together.

Use the Upper and Lower Tool Arm Controls to move the Upper Tool Arm and Lower Tool Arm,
respectively, up and down separately.

Before You Change a Tire

⚠ DANGER Do not use the Tire Changer unless you have been properly trained and have read

the entire Installation and Operation Manual. Tire changing must only be done by
trained personnel. Failure to understand and follow proper procedures will result in
injury or death.

Before you change a Tire, you should:

• Remove weights. Check the Wheel to make sure that all clip-on and adhesive weights (from

having the Tire balanced) have been removed.

• Deflate the Tire. Some shops have their technicians do this before putting the Wheel on the

Tire Changer, others when it has been mounted and secured on the Tire Changer. The Tire

Fully

Changer supports either option.
To make sure a Tire is fully deflated, remove the Valve Core from the Valve Stem. You should use a

Valve Core Tool for this, but if you do not have one, you may be able to use needle-nosed pliers.

• Have Tire lubricant ready. Tire Lubricant makes the process of demounting and mounting

Tires much easier. If you do not use Tire Lubricant, you significantly increase the chances of
damaging the Wheel and the Tire. Tire Lubricant is not provided with the Tire Changer.

• Check for damage. Especially with expensive Wheels, make sure to check them for any

damage before changing the Tire. Depending on the circumstances, if you find any damage you
might want to discuss that damage with the owner of the Vehicle and/or photograph the damage.
If you work in a shop, talk to your supervisor regarding shop policies in this area.

Additionally, damaged Wheels and Tires are dangerous to work with. If you are not sure whether a
Wheel or Tire is too damaged to work with, talk to your supervisor.

deflate Tires before working on them.

• Understand Performance Wheels. Before servicing performance Wheels, review the

Performance Wheels section of this manual.

• Identify the Narrow Side/Drop Center of the Wheel. The rule is: the Narrow Side/Drop

Center side of the Wheel gets put onto the Tire Changer facing up. For most Wheels, this means
the side of the Wheel facing the outside of the Vehicle goes on top, because that’s where the
Narrow Side/Drop Center side is on most (but not all) Wheels.

The following drawing shows two Wheels and identifies the Narrow Side, Drop Center, and Wide
Side of each.

Some aftermarket and OEM performance Wheels are reverse drop-center Wheels, meaning the
Narrow Side/Drop Center side of the Wheel is closer to the inside of the Vehicle. The rule still holds
for these Vehicles: the Narrow Side/Drop Center side of the Wheel gets put onto the Tire Changer
facing up.

The Steps in Changing a Tire

Changing a Tire consists of multiple steps:

1. Place the Wheel on the Turntable. Use the Tire Lift and the Up Foot Pedal to get a Wheel

onto the Turntable.

2. Secure the Wheel. It is important for the Wheel to stay in place on the Turntable. Use the

Quick-Nut to do this.

⚠ DANGER It is extremely important to carefully secure every Wheel you work on. When

pressurized Tires fail, they can literally explode. The better the Wheel is secured,
the better off everyone in your garage will be if a pressurized Tire fails. Note that
even if you carefully secure the Wheel with the Quick-Nut, you must still take
precautions (described throughout this manual) with pressurized Tires. The
Quick-Nut can control the Wheel, in most cases, but cannot control what
happens to the Tire portion if it were to explode. Bystanders can be seriously
injured or even killed if a pressurized Tire explodes.

3. Deflate the Tire. There is a lot of energy stored in a Tire when it is inflated. You must fully

deflate the Tire before you can change it. If you do not, that energy will be released when you try to
change it, which could result in the Tire exploding, causing injury and even death to the Operator
or bystanders.

fully deflated

the Body of the Valve Stem.

Never work on a Tire unless you have personally confirmed that it is

. The best way to do this is to make sure the Valve Core has been removed from

4. Break the Bead. Tires stay in position because the Tire Bead is correctly seated between the

Bead Retainer and the Rim Lip of the Wheel (called the Bead Seat). To change a Tire, you must get
the Tire Bead out of the Bead Seat all the way around both sides of the Tire. This is called breaking
the Bead.

5. Demount the Tire. Once the Bead is broken, you still have to slide the Tire over the Rim Lip of

the Wheel to get it fully off. Once the Tire is demounted from the Wheel, you can move it out of the
way and then put on the new Tire.

6. Mount the new Tire. Mounting a Tire is basically the opposite of the steps described above.

You first need to get the Tire over the Wheel (the opposite of demounting the Tire), then get the
Bead into position in the Bead Seat (the opposite of breaking the Bead), and then inflate the Tire
(the opposite of deflating the Tire).

7. Inflate the Tire: Bead Seal, Bead Seat, Inflate. The Tire inflation process consists of three

stages that could easily be considered a single process. Bead Sealing is putting in a small
amount of air pressure to push the Tire up against the Rim so that air does not leak out. Bead

Seating is putting in more air pressure to “pop” the Tire Beads into position in the Bead Seat.
Inflation is adding air pressure to the Tire manufacturer’s recommended pressure after the Bead

has been seated.

8. Remove the Wheel from the Turntable. Remove the Quick-Nut, slide the Wheel onto the

Tire Lift, and then use the Down Foot Pedal to lower it down to the ground.

RV1 Wheel Guardian™ Tire Changer 32 P/N 5900089 — Rev. A — March 2019

Placing a Wheel on the Turntable

When you want to take the Tire off of a Wheel (called demounting the Tire), you must first put the
Wheel onto the Tire Changer Turntable.

To put a Wheel onto the Turntable:

1. Make sure you are wearing ANSI-approved eye protection: safety glasses, face shield, or goggles.

2. Review the requirements in Before You Change a Tire.

3. Move the Wheel onto the Tire Lift.

4. Press and hold the Up Foot Pedal.

The Tire Lift rises and moves the Wheel over the Turntable.

Make sure the Narrow Side is facing up.

5. Release the Up Foot Pedal and then put the hole in the middle of the Wheel directly over the

Turntable.

6. Align a Lug Hole in the Wheel over the Alignment Pin on the Turntable.

Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown.

RV1 Wheel Guardian™ Tire Changer 33 P/N 5900089 — Rev. A — March 2019

Secure the Wheel

Securing the Wheel ensures it stays in place while you demount or mount the Tire.

To secure a Wheel on the Turntable:

1. Select an appropriate Adapter or Cone.

You want the Adapter or Cone to go into the hole in the center of the Wheel without going all the
way through and touching the Turntable.

2. If you are using a Cone, you also need to use the Turntable Spacer on the Turntable and under the

hole in the center of the Wheel; this prevents the Cone from touching the Turntable.

3. Put the Quick-Nut into place.

Make sure to use the correct Cone (and Turntable Spacer) or Adapter with the Quick-Nut.

4. Hold the Handle up and adjust the Threaded Shaft until the Threaded Shaft goes all the way down

into the top of the Turntable.

Important: Make sure the Threaded Shaft goes down into the Turntable. If it does not, the

Quick-Nut will not correctly hold the Wheel in place.

5. Hold the Quick-Release Levers to the side to quickly pass most of the threads in the Threaded

Shaft.

6. When the Adapter or Cone is all the way down, release the Quick-Release Levers and turn the

Wings clockwise until the Quick-Nut is securely tightened.

7. When the Wheel is secured by the Quick-Nut, flip up the Wings to get them out of the way.

When you need to remove the Quick-Nut later, reverse the process: flip down the Wings, turn the
Wings counter-clockwise until the Quick-Nut is untightened, then hold the Quick Release Levers to
the side and pull up the Quick-Nut.

RV1 Wheel Guardian™ Tire Changer 34 P/N 5900089 — Rev. A — March 2019

Deflate the Tire

If you have not done so already, you need to fully deflate the Tire.

⚠ DANGER Never attempt to demount or mount an inflated Tire. You must fully deflate it first.

Attempting to demount or mount an inflated Tire will result in injury
or death.

To deflate a Tire:

1. If the Valve Stem has a Cap on it, remove the Cap.

2. Pull the Valve Core out of the Valve Body.

You can use a Valve Core Tool to remove the Valve Core. If a tool is not available, you may be able
to use needle-nosed pliers.

3. Make sure all of the air comes out of the Tire.

Important: Do not proceed with any other Tire changing activity until the Tire is

RV1 Wheel Guardian™ Tire Changer 35 P/N 5900089 — Rev. A — March 2019

fully

deflated.

Break the Bead

The Bead must be broken – on both sides of the Tire – before the Tire can be taken off the Wheel.

Important: Do not begin breaking a Tire’s bead until you are

sure

that the Tire is being held

securely in place and it is completely deflated.

The following procedure describes first breaking the bead on the upper side of the Tire and then on the
lower side of the Tire.

To break a Tire’s bead:

1. On both the Upper and the Lower Multifunction Tool, make sure the Bead Breaker Tool is

selected.

2. Turn on the Laser.

3. Move the Upper Multifunction Tool (using the Tool Arm) until the Laser is pointing at a spot on the

Tire that is about 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch away from the Rim Lip.

4. Using the Upper Tool Arm Control, bring the Upper Tool Arm down to about an inch over the Tire.

5. Check the location of the edge of the upper Bead Breaker Tool in relation to the edge of the Rim.

6. If necessary, use the Tool Arm to adjust the location of the upper Bead Breaker Tool.

RV1 Wheel Guardian™ Tire Changer 36 P/N 5900089 — Rev. A — March 2019

7. Using the Upper Tool Arm Control, push the upper Bead Breaker Tool down into the Tire about an

inch.

8. Step on the Rotation Foot Pedal and hold it down.

The Turntable begins turning clockwise.

9. Press and hold the Tool Adjustment Button.

The upper Bead Breaker Tool pushes down into the Tire until it gets below the edge of the rim and
then automatically moves in about an inch or two, depending on the geometry of the Tire.

The Bead Breaker Tool moves in because you pressed the Tool Adjustment Button.

10. Continue turning the Turntable.

11. When the Bead has been broken, release the Rotation Foot Pedal and the Tool Adjustment

Button.

The Bead Breaker Tool automatically returns to the starting location, where it was

before

you

pressed and held the Tool Adjustment Button.

12. Verify that the Bead has been broken all the way around the Rim on the upper side of the Tire.

The Bead is broken when the Tire Bead comes out from between the Rim Lip and the Bead
Retainer (the Bead Seat) all the way around the Tire.

13. When you have verified that the upper Bead has been broken, you can switch to the lower Bead.

14. Without changing the location of the Upper Tool Arm, check the Mirror to verify that the Bead

Breaker Tool on the Lower Multifunction Tool is at a spot on the Tire that is about 1/4 inch to 1/8
inch away from the Rim Lip on the lower side of the Tire.

The Upper Tool Arm and the Lower Tool Arm are synchronized

, so if the Upper Bead
Breaker is in the correct location to break the Bead on the upper side of the Tire (you can verify this
using the Laser), then the Lower Bead Breaker Tool is in the correct location to break the Bead on
the lower side of the Tire.

15. After verifying the location of the lower Bead Breaker Tool, use the Lower Tool Arm Control to push

the lower Bead Breaker Tool up into the Tire about an inch.

16. Press down the Rotation Foot Pedal and hold it down; the Turntable starts rotating.

17. Press and hold the Tool Adjustment Button.

The lower Bead Breaker Tool pushes into the Tire until it gets below the edge of the rim and then
automatically moves in about an inch or two, depending on the geometry of the Tire.

18. When the lower Bead has been broken, release the Rotation Foot Pedal and the Tool Adjustment

Button.

19. Verify that the Bead has been broken all the way around the Rim on the lower side of the Tire.

The Tire’s Bead is now broken. The next step is to take the Tire off the Wheel, called demounting.

RV1 Wheel Guardian™ Tire Changer 37 P/N 5900089 — Rev. A — March 2019

Demount the Tire

After the Bead is broken, you can take the Tire off the Wheel, called demounting.

Important: BendPak Ranger recommends using a liberal amount of lubricant; this makes the Tire

come off more easily and helps to prevent damage to the Wheel or the Tire.

⚠ WARNING Mounting a new Tire can be hazardous if not done correctly. Do not change a Tire

unless you have been trained to do so. Failure to understand and follow proper
procedures can result in injury or death.

Review the following points before mounting a new Tire:

• Check the Tire and Wheel to make sure they are an exact match.

• Check the Tire for damage;

• Make sure the Tire is both clean and free of balancing weights.

• Check the location of the TPMS and adjust the Tire if necessary.

• Make sure the Tire is

To mount a Tire:

1. Make sure you are wearing ANSI-approved eye protection: safety glasses, face shield, or goggles.

2. If the Wheel is not already secured on the Turntable, move the Wheel onto the Turntable and

secure it with the Quick-Nut.

Make sure the Narrow Side is facing up.

deflated.

.

3. Align a Lug Hole in the Wheel with the Alignment Pin on the Turntable, if desired.

4. Apply Tire lubricant liberally to both the upper and lower Beads of the Tire.

5. Set the Lower Multifunction Tool so that the Mounting Tool is pointing up.

6. Adjust the Mounting Tool so that the top of it is about an inch over the Wheel’s Rim bottom and

about half an inch from the Rim Lip.

7. Lift the new Tire over the Quick-Nut and place it on top of the Wheel with the Mounting Tool

between the Wheel and the Tire.

8. Push down on the Tire so that it is part way down the Mounting Tool.

9. Rotate the Turntable until the bottom edge of the Tire slips down over the top edge of the Wheel.

10. Lower the Lower Tool Arm.

The Tire slides down so that it is next to the Wheel.

11. Set the Upper Multifunction Tool so that the Mounting Tool is facing down.

12. Move the Mounting Tool down so that it is pressing into the top of the Tire.

The tip of the Mounting Tool should be pressing down about an inch past the Wheel Rim.

13. Move the Assist Tool into place; put it at about a quarter of the way around the Tire from the

Mounting Tool.

14. Rotate the Turntable; move the Assist Tool with the Tire as the Tire moves.

The Top Bead of the Tire slips over the Rim edge as the Wheel rotates.

15. Raise the Upper Multifunction Tool.

The Tire is now in place around the Wheel. The next step is to inflate the Tire.

RV1 Wheel Guardian™ Tire Changer 42 P/N 5900089 — Rev. A — March 2019

Inflate the Tire

The Tire inflation process consists of three stages:

•

Bead sealing

(after the new Tire has been mounted) so that air does not leak out.

•

Bead seating

Seat.

Inflation

•

If the Tire inflation process goes smoothly, these three stages could easily be considered a single
stage instead of multiple stages.

is putting in a small amount of air pressure to push the Tire up against the Rim

is putting in more air pressure to “pop” the Tire Beads into position in the Bead

is adding air pressure to the Tire manufacturer’s recommended pressure.

⚠ CAUTION The inflation process can produce some additional noise. BendPak Ranger

recommends wearing ear protection when inflating a Tire.

⚠ WARNING Do not exceed the maximum air pressure specified by the Tire manufacturer. This

increases the chances that the Tire could explode, causing injury or even death to
the Operator and bystanders.

Use the Pressure Gauge on the Tire Changer to monitor the air pressure in the Tire you are inflating.

⚠ DANGER If you are inflating a Tire that requires more than 60 psi,

Inflation Cage such as the RIC-4716 for safety purposes. If a Tire fails at

high pressure, it can explode and cause serious injury or death to anyone near it.
Using a Tire Inflation Cage helps reduce the danger.

To inflate a Tire:

1. Make sure you are wearing ANSI-approved eye protection: safety glasses, face shield, or goggles.

2. Make sure the Wheel on the Turntable is well secured with the Quick-Nut.

⚠ WARNING The Quick-Nut can hold the Wheel in place, but it cannot restrain a Tire that

explodes. To reduce danger during Tire inflation, no one other than the Tire
Changer Operator should be closer than 30 feet to the Tire and the Operator
should as far from the Tire as possible.

3. Make sure both the upper and lower Beads are lubricated.

4. Clip the Air Chuck to the Valve Stem of the new Tire.

5. Press and hold on the Inflation Foot Pedal for a second or two.

Air goes into the Tire and seals the Bead.

Bead Sealing takes very little air pressure, anywhere from 0 to 3 psi, which you can monitor on the
Pressure Gauge.

The purpose of Bead Sealing is to push the Tire up against the Rim so that air does not leak out
during the rest of the inflation process.

6. Check to make sure the upper and lower Beads are sealed against the Rim.

If the Beads are not sealed, try again, this time putting it slightly more air.

7. When the Beads are sealed, press and hold on the Inflation Foot Pedal to seat the Bead.

You should hear a pop as the Beads are seated.

8. Bead Seating takes more air pressure, usually requiring 7 psi or above.

Do not exceed 40 psi to seat the Bead

Always follow the Tire manufacturer’s recommended procedure for Bead Seating.

If air pressure gets to 40 psi but the Bead is not seated, let most of the air out of the Tire and try
again.

9. If the Bead is still not seated, you can use an air blast to try to seat the Bead.

If the Bead still does not seat, either get a different Tire or remove all air from the Tire and start the
inflation procedure over from the beginning.

Never exceed 40 psi to seat the Bead

10. When you have verified that both the upper and lower Beads are seated, press and hold the

Inflation Foot Pedal and inflate the Tire to the manufacturer’s recommended air pressure for the
Tire.

The typical inflation pressure for automobile Tires is from approximately 25 to 45 psi. Light truck
Tire inflation pressures typically cover a wider range.

Do not exceed

.

⚠ DANGER Inflating a Tire with a bypassed pressure limiter could result in the Tire exploding,

which could injure or kill bystanders or the Tire Changer Operator. Do not exceed
60 psi unless the Tire is in a Tire Inflation Cage.

11. When the Tire is correctly inflated, remove the Air Chuck from the Valve Stem.

The Wheel can now be removed from the Turntable.

Remove the Wheel from the Turntable

Once the new Tire has been correctly mounted on the Wheel and inflated, you can remove it from the
Turntable.

To remove a Wheel from the Turntable:

1. Take the Quick-Nut off and return it to its holder on the Tire Changer.

Flip down the Wings, turn the Wings counter-clockwise until the Quick-Nut is untightened, then
hold the Quick Release Levers to the side and pull up the Quick-Nut.

2. Press and hold the Up Foot Pedal to raise the Tire Lift.

3. Slide the Wheel off the Turntable and onto the Tire Lift.

4. Press and hold the Down Foot Pedal to lower the Tire Lift.

5. Move the Wheel off the Tire Lift.

Check the Water Level

Water coming in from the Air Source is pulled out of the incoming air by the Regulator/Filter and
dropped into the reservoir at the bottom.

This water needs to be drained periodically.

To drain water from the Regulator/Filter reservoir:

1. Check the Water Sight Gauge to see how much water is currently in the reservoir.

If the reservoir is one quarter (25%) or more filled with water, you need to drain it.

2. Disconnect the Air Source at the Air In connector.

3. Press upwards on the Water Drain Plug at the bottom of the reservoir.

The water drains out.

4. Release the Water Drain Plug.

5. Re-connect the Air Source.

RV1 Wheel Guardian™ Tire Changer 47 P/N 5900089 — Rev. A — March 2019

Check the Oil Feed Rate and Adding Oil

The built-in lubricator adds pneumatic oil to the Incoming Air. This ensures that all pneumatic
components of the Tire Changer receive the necessary lubrication, which maintains operating
performance, reduces wear, and extends service life.

It is very important to make sure the oil feed rate is correct, 1 or 2 drops of oil per use of the Up or
Down Foot Pedals, and that there is enough pneumatic oil in the Oil Reservoir of the Oiler/Lubricator.

To check the oil feed rate on the Oiler/Lubricator:

1. With the Air Source connected, press on the Up or Down Foot Pedal for several seconds, then

release.

You do not need a Tire on the Tire Lift, you just need to use a pneumatic tool.

2. Watch the Sight Glass to see how much pneumatic oil comes out each time you use the Up or

Down Foot Pedal.

Your goal is for 1 or 2 drops to come out each time.

3. If you are getting

4. If you are getting

Up or Down Foot Pedal again to check the output.

5. When you are getting 1 or 2 drops, stop turning the Adjustment Screw.

To add pneumatic oil to the Oiler/Lubricator:

1. Check the Oil Sight Gauge to see how much pneumatic oil is currently in the reservoir.

If the reservoir is less than one half (50%) filled with pneumatic oil, you need to add oil to it.

2. Disconnect the Air Source at the Air In connector.

3. Turn the Oil Reservoir counter-clockwise and pull it off.

4. Add SAE 10W Air Tool Oil or generic pneumatic oil to the reservoir.

5. Put the Oil Reservoir back in place, turning it clockwise until tight.
