USE OF THE EQUIPMENT

11.1 Precaution measures during tire removal and fitting
Before fitting a tire, observe the following safety rules:

  • rim and tire must always be clean, dry and in good condition; if necessary, clean the rims and check that: – neither the bead nor the tread of the tire are damaged;
  • the rim does not have any dents and/or deformations (especially for alloy rims, dents can cause internal micro-fractures, that pass unobserved at visual inspection, and can compromise the solidity of the rim and constitute danger even during inflation);
  • adequately lubricate the contact surface of rim and the tire beads, using specific tire lubricants only;
  • replace the inner tube valve with a new valve, if the tire tube has a metal valve, replace the grommet;
  • always make sure that tire and rim sizes are correct for their coupling; never fit a tire unless you are sure it is of the right size (the rated size of rim and tire is usually printed directly on them);
  • do not use compressed air or water jets to clean the wheels on the equipment.

11.2 Preliminary operations
In view of the tire changer structure and of its intended use, the operator must work with large diameter and heavy wheels/tires. The utmost care while moving the wheels is recommended: make use of other operators, properly trained and with suitable clothes.
THE CAREFUL LUBRICATION OF THE TIRES BEADS IS RECOMMENDED, IN ORDER TO PROTECT THEM FROM POSSIBLE DAMAGES AND TO FACILITATE MOUNTING AND DEMOUNTING OPERATIONS.

11.3 Preparing the wheel

  • Remove the wheel balancing weights from both sides of the wheel.
    REMOVE THE VALVE STEM AND ALLOW THE TIRE TO COMPLETELY DEFLATE.

  • Establish from which side the tire should be demounted, checking the position of the drop center.

  • Find the rim locking type.

WHEN HANDLING WHEELS WEIGHING MORE THAN 500 KG (1102.5 LBS) A FORK-LIFT TRUCK OR A CRANE SHOULD BE USED.

11.4 Wheel clamping
DUE TO THE SIZE AND WEIGHT OF THE WHEEL/ TIRE, MAKE USE OF A SECOND OPERATOR TO HOLD THE WHEEL INTO VERTICAL POSITION, IN ORDER TO ENSURE SAFE OPERATIVE CONDITIONS.
MAKE SURE THAT RIM CLAMPING IS DONE PROPERLY AND THAT THE GRIP IS SECURE, TO PREVENT THE WHEEL FROM FALLING DURING MOUNTING OR REMOVAL OPERATIONS.
 DO NOT CHANGE THE SET OPERATING PRESSURE VALUE BY MEANS OF THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE VALVES. THE MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INJURY OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM UNAUTHORISED CHANGES.

Rotary RWC101 R501Plus Tire Changer - FIGURE 14

THE OPENING/CLOSING MOVEMENT OF THE SELF CENTERING CHUCK GENERATES A GREAT DEAL OF COMPRESSIVE FORCE DURING THE WHEEL LOCKING/UNLOCKING PHASE. KEEP HANDS/FINGERS OR ANY PART OF THE BODY AWAY FROM MOVING CLAMPS AT ALL TIMES.
All wheels must be clamped from the inside.
CLAMPING ON THE CENTRAL FLANGE IS ALWAYS SAFEST.
FOR WHEELS WITH DROP CENTER RIMS SECURE THE WHEEL SO THAT THE DROP CENTER IS FACING OUTWARDS COMPARED TO THE SELF-CENTERING CHUCK.
IF IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CLAMP THE RIM IN THE HOLE OF THE DISC, CLAMP ON THE BEAD SEAT CLOSE TO THE DISC.
TO SECURE WHEELS WITH ALLOY RIMS ADDITIONAL PROTECTIVE JAWS ARE AVAILABLE. THEY ALLOW YOU TO WORK ON THE RIMS WITHOUT DAMAGING THEM. THE PROTECTIVE JAWS ARE FITTED ONTO SELF-CENTERING CHUCK NORMAL JAWS BY MEANS OF A BAYONET CONNECTION.
To clamp the wheel proceed as follows:

  • make sure the front bead breaker arm is in open position (Fig._16 ref._2);
  • place the wheel in vertical position onto the platform;
  • move the wheel close, by keeping it in vertical position, until grazing self-centering chuck jaws;
  • use the corresponding control (Fig._13 ref._G-H) to position the coaxial self-centering chuck with the wheel center, in order to make jaws edges skim wheel edge;
  • adjust the opening of the self-centering chuck through the corresponding control (Fig._13 ref._M-N) according to the type of rim to be locked;
  • tilt the wheel at approximately 15° towards the self-centering unit;
  • operate the control (Fig._13 ref._M) until the wheel is completely clamped;
  • check both that the rim is clamped and centered correctly, and that the wheel has been raised above from the floor (Fig._13 ref._G),
    so that it does not slip during the following operations.

KEEP ON OPERATING RIM CLAMPING CONTROL, UNTIL REACHING THE MAXIMUM OPERATING PRESSURE (130 BAR- 1885 PSI).
THE CAREFUL LUBRICATION OF THE TIRES BEADS IS RECOMMENDED, IN ORDER TO PRO- TECT THEM FROM POSSIBLE DAMAGES AND TO FACILITATE MOUNTING AND DEMOUNTING OPERATIONS.
AFTER COMPLETION OF TIRE MOUNT/DEMOUNT OPERATIONS DO NOT LEAVE THE WHEEL CLAMPED ON THE SELF-CENTERING CHUCK AND NEVER LEAVE IT UNATTENDED.

11.5 Bead breaker arms’ functioning
During the working phases, the the front bead breaker arm (Fig._16 ref._2) can maintain two firm positions, that is:

  1. “working” position (wheel front side) (Fig._16 ref._3);
  2. “off-work” position (Fig._16 ref._2).

In “working” position” (Fig._16 ref._3) the front bead breaker arm is in front of the tire, just next the rim. From this position it can perform the different tire bead breaking and mounting-demounting operations.
The adjustment of the correct “working” position of the rear bead breaker arm (Fig._16 ref._4) is performed through handle’s rotation (Fig._16 ref._1).

11.6 Tubeless tires
11.6.1 Bead breaking
NEVER PLACE ANY PART OF YOUR BODY BETWEEN THE BEAD BREAKER ROLLER AND THE TIRE.
THROUGHOUT TIRE MOUNTING/DEMOUNTING OPERATIONS, CHECK THAT THE WHEEL IS FIRMLY CLAMPED BY THE EQUIPMENT CHUCK.

  1. Clamp the wheel on the self-centering chuck as described in “WHEEL CLAMPING” paragraph;
  2. move the self-centering chuck to working position (rise fully home) (Fig._13 ref._G);
  3. move to work position A (Fig._5);
  4. move rear bead breaker arm (Fig._17 ref._1) to work position with the roller at approximately 5 mm (0.2”) form rim’s edge, using the lateral handwheel (Fig._17 ref._2).
  5. move front bead breaker arm (Fig._17 ref._3) to work position, using lever (Fig._13 ref._1-F).
  6. carry out bead breaking of front bead first, then bead-break rear bead, by turning self-centering chuck counter-clockwise (Fig._17 ref._4);Rotary RWC101 R501Plus Tire Changer - FIGURE 16
  7. carry on turning self-centering chuck while generously lubricating tire rim and bead with a suitable lubricant. The more the tire adheres to the rim, the slower should bead breaking rollers advance.

THE BEAD BREAKING ROLLERS MUST NOT EXERT PRESSURE ON THE RIM BUT ON TIRE BEAD.
USE ONLY TIRE LUBRICANTS. SUITABLE LUBRICANTS CONTAIN NO WATER, HYDROCARBONS, OR SILICON.

11.6.2 Demounting
THROUGHOUT TIRE MOUNTING/DEMOUNTING OPERATIONS, CHECK THAT THE WHEEL IS FIRMLY CLAMPED BY THE EQUIPMENT CHUCK.
Tubeless tires can be removed in two ways:

  1. Lubricate both rim and tire.
    Move the lower bead into rim drop center and start pushing with rear bead breaker arm (Fig._18 ref._1), when the tire is tilted activate front bead breaker arm’s return movement (Fig._18 ref._3) and its shift to rest position (Fig._18 ref._2). Move the rear one forward (Fig._18 ref._1) until the tire comes out.
    Move rear bead breaker arm (Fig._18 ref._1) to rest position.Rotary RWC101
R501Plus Tire Changer - FIGURE 17

  2. When working with very hard and low-profile (supers ingle) or with very wide tires, after the bead breaking of the two beads and after rim and tire lubrication, the first bead can be removed by using the tool (Fig._19 ref._1). After the bead has been loaded onto the tool (Fig._19 ref._1) through lever (Fig._19 ref._2), turn the self-centering chuck CLOCKWISE (Fig._19 ref._4); the second bead is removed by using rear bead breaker arm (Fig._19 ref._3).Rotary RWC101 R501Plus Tire Changer - FIGURE 18

THE REMOVAL OF THE BEADS FROM THE RIM CAUSES THE TIRE TO FALL. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE IS STANDING IN THE WORK AREA.
WHEN DEMOUNTING VERY HEAVY TIRES LOOK AT THE PROCESS AND AREA AROUND THE CHANGER CLOSELY BEFORE COMPLETING THE OPERATION.

11.6.3 Mounting
THROUGHOUT TIRE MOUNTING/DEMOUNTING OPERATIONS, CHECK THAT THE WHEEL IS FIRMLY CLAMPED BY THE EQUIPMENT CHUCK.
Tubeless tire fitting is normally done with front bead breaker roller; if the wheel is especially hard to fit, use the tool.
With bead breaker roller
Proceed as follows:

  1. secure the rim to the self-centering chuck according to the procedure described in “WHEEL CLAMPING” paragraph;

  2. adequately lubricate tire beads and rim bead seats with a suitable lubricant using the supplied brush;
    USE ONLY TIRE LUBRICANTS. SUITABLE LUBRICANTS CONTAIN NO WATER, HYDROCARBONS, OR SILICON.

  3. mount clamp (optional) (Fig._20 ref._1) on the external edge of the rim in the highest point as shown in Fig._20;Rotary RWC101 R501Plus Tire Changer - FIGURE 19 THE CLAMP (OPTIONAL) MUST BE TIGHTLY SECURED TO THE EDGE OF THE RIM.

  4. move to work position B (Fig._5);

  5. completely lower self-centering chuck. Roll the tire on the platform and hook it to clamp (Fig._21 ref._1) (optional).

  6. lift the self-centering chuck with the tire hooked and turn it clockwise 15-20 cm (5.9”-7.9”); the tire will position itself sideways in relation to the rim (see Fig._21);Rotary RWC101 R501Plus Tire Changer - FIGURE 20

  7. move front bead breaker roller to work position (Fig._16 ref._3);

  8. position the front bead breaker roller (Fig._22 ref._2) so that it is at approximately 1.5 cm (0.6”) from the edge of the rim. Fitting clamp (optional) (Fig._22 ref. _1) is at “12 o’clock”. Turn self-centering chuck clockwise until bringing the clamp to the closest point to the front bead breaker roller (“8 o’clock”) (Fig._22 ref._1);Rotary RWC101 R501Plus Tire Changer - FIGURE 21

  9. move bead breaker roller away from the wheel;

  10. remove the clamp (optional) and fit it in position (3 o’clock) outside the second bead;

  11. turn self-centering chuck counterclockwise until clamp (optional) is at “12 o’clock”;

  12. move the bead breaker roller forward until it is inside the edge of the rim by about 1-2 cm (0.4”-0.8”), making sure it is approximately 5 mm (0.2”) from rim edge. Start clockwise rotation making sure that, after a 90° turn, the second bead begins sliding in the rim drop center;

  13. once insertion is completed, move the roller away from the wheel, move it to “off-work” position and remove clamp (optional);

  14. lower self-centering chuck until the wheel rests on the floor;

  15. move to work position A (Fig._5);

  16. close self-centering chuck jaws completely, making sure the wheel is held up to avoid dropping;
    MAKE SURE THAT THE WHEEL IS SECURELY CLAMPED TO AVOID IT FALLING DURING REMOVAL. FOR HEAVY AND/OR VERY LARGE WHEELS USE AN ADEQUATE LIFTING DEVICE.

  17. remove the wheel from the equipment by making it roller. By using particularly soft tires, it is possible to put on the rim both the beads at the same time, in order to operate only one time on the tire.

With tool
Proceed as follows:

  1. secure the rim to the self-centering chuck according to the procedure described in “WHEEL CLAMPING” paragraph;

  2. adequately lubricate tire beads and rim bead seats with a suitable lubricant using the supplied brush;
    USE ONLY TIRE LUBRICANTS. SUITABLE LUBRICANTS CONTAIN NO WATER, HYDROCARBONS, OR SILICON.

  3. mount the clamp (optional) (Fig._20 ref._1) on the external edge of the rim in the highest point.
    THE CLAMP (OPTIONAL) MUST BE TIGHTLY SECURED TO THE EDGE OF THE RIM.

  4. move to work position B (Fig._5);

  5. completely lower self-centering chuck. Roll the tire on the just next self-centering chuck and hook it to clamp (optional) (Fig._21 ref._1);

  6. lift the self-centering chuck with the tire hooked and turn it clockwise 15-20 cm (5.9”-7.9”); the tire will position itself sideways in relation to the rim (see Fig._21);

  7. close the front arm into working position (Fig._16 ref._3) and move the roller until it almost touches rim’s edge (Fig._13 ref. 1-D); after the entry of the first bead with roller (Fig._23 ref._1) and bead lever or clamp (optional) (Fig._23 ref._2) there’s space enough to lay the tool (Fig._23 ref._3) onto the rim by turning the self-centering chuck CLOCKWISE (Fig._23 ref._4);

  8. lay the tool (Fig._23 ref._3) onto rim’s edge;Rotary RWC101 R501Plus Tire Changer - FIGURE 22

  9. move the front roller (Fig._24 rif._1) at the same height of the drop center (Fig._13 rif. 1-D), place the bead lever or clamp (optional) (Fig._24 rif._2) under the same roller and turn self-centering chuck counter-clockwise until the second bead is applied;

  10. move the front arm to rest position (Fig._16 ref._2);Rotary RWC101 R501Plus Tire Changer - FIGURE 23

  11. lower self-centering chuck until the wheel rests on the floor;

  12. move to work position A (Fig._5);

  13. close self-centering chuck jaws completely, making sure the wheel is held up to avoid dropping;

  14. remove the wheel from the equipment by making it roller.

11.7 Tires with inner tube
11.7.1 Bead breaking
REMOVE THE LOCK NUT OF THE INNER TUBE VALVE TO ALLOW ITS EXTRACTION DURING TIRE REMOVAL PHASES; REMOVE THE NUT WHEN DEFLATING THE TIRE.
The beading procedure is the same one described for tubeless tires.
WHEN BEADING WHEELS WITH INNER TUBES, INTERRUPT THE FORWARD MOVEMENT OF THE BEAD BREAKER ROLLER AS SOON AS THE BEADS HAVE BEEN DISLODGED TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE INNER TUBE OR TO THE VALVE.

11.7.2 Demounting
THROUGHOUT TIRE MOUNTING/DEMOUNTING OPERATIONS, CHECK THAT THE WHEEL IS FIRMLY CLAMPED BY THE EQUIPMENT CHUCK.

  1. Introduce the tool between rim edge and tire bead;
  2. move to work position A (Fig._5);
  3. insert bead lever (Fig._25 ref._1) between the rim and the bead on the right-hand side of the tool;
  4. turn the wheel clockwise by keeping lever pressed until the bead has gone completely out;
  5. lower self-centering chuck until the tire rests on the floor; exert a certain pressure on it; this will create enough space to extract the inner tube;
  6. extract the inner tube and lift the wheel again;
  7. the second bead is removed by using rear bead breaker arm (Fig._25 ref._2).
