   Pressing the pedal (3) opens the four clamps; when the pedal is pressed again they close.
   Pressing the pedal (4) tilts the arm; when the pedal is pressed again it returns to its working position.
   When the pedal located on the left side of the machine is pressed down to the first gear, air is released from the airline gauge. Gauge will indicate the pressure after release of air.
   When the pedal located on the left side of the machine is pressed down to the second gear, air is released from the airline gauge along with a powerful jet from the nozzles located on the turntable clamps.
   Don’t lean on the turntable during this operation, possible dirty dust on the turntable could offend the operator’s eyes. For the same reason, be carefully as not to accidentally push the inflating pedal while working.

Operation

Don’t use the machine until you have read and understood the entire manual and the warnings it provides.
The operation of the tire changer is divided into three parts:

1. Breaking the bead
2. Demounting the tire
3.  Mounting the tire;

Warning: before carrying out any operation, deflate the tire and take off all the wheel balancing weights.

1. Breaking the bead
   Warning:when the bead breaker pedal is operated, anything within the action range of bead breaker arm can be in the danger of being crushed.
   Check that tire is deflated, if not, deflate it.
   Close the turntable clamps completely.
   Warning: bead breaker with the clamps in the open position can be extremely dangerous for operator’s hands; during the bead breaking operations never touch the side of the tire.
   Position the wheel against the rubber stop on the right side of the tire changer.
   Position the bead breaking blade against the tire bead at a distance of about 1 cm from the rim. Pay attention to the blade, which must be correctly onto the tire not onto the rim.
   Press down the pedal (2) to activate the bead breaker and release it when the blade has reached to the end of its travel or in any case when the bead is broken.
   Rotate the tire slightly and repeat the operation around the entire circumference of the rim and from both sides until the bead is completely detached from the rim.
   

2. Demounting the Tire
   Before any operations remove the old wheel balancing weights and check thatthe tire is deflated.
   When tilting the vertical arm, be sure that nobody stands behind the tire changer.
   Press down pedal (4), tilt the vertical arm, and clean the turntable.
   Spread the grease onto the tire bead.
   Failure to use the grease risks causing serious damage the tire bead.
   When clamping the tire, never have your hands under the tire. To clamp the tire correctly, position the wheel exactly at the center of the turntable.
   Rim locking from outside:
   Position the clamps according to the reference mark on the turntable by pressing the pedal down to its intermediate position.
   Place the tire on the clamps and, keeping the rim pressed down, press the pedal (3) as far as it will go.
   Rim locking from inside:
   Position the clamps so that it they are completely closed.
   Place the tire on the clamps and press down the pedal (3) to open the clampsand thereby lock the rim.
   Make sure the rim is firmly fixed to the clamps.
   Press the pedal (4), restore the vertical arm to its working position.
   Push out the locking button in the handle, release hex bar.
   Lower the hex bar until the mounting tools rests against the edge of the rim.
   Then lock it using the locking button in the handle. This way the mounting armis locked in a vertical and horizontal direction and the mounting head is automatically moved to a distance of about 2mm from the rim.
   Do not put hands on the wheel, when moving the mounting arm to its working position your hand could be crushed between the rim and the mounting head with the crowbar inserted between the bead and the front section of the mounting head, move the tire bead over the mounting head.
   WARNING: In order not to damage the inner tube, it there is one, it isadvisable to carry out this operation with the valve 10cm to the right of the mounting head. Chains, bracelets, loose clothing or foreign objectives in the vicinity of moving parts can cause danger to the operator.
   With the crowbar held in this position, rotate the turntable in a clockwise direction by pressing down on pedal (1) until the tire is completely separated from the wheel rim. To prevent industrial accidents, keep hands and other parts of the body as far as possible from the tool arm when the table top is turning.
   Remove the inner tube if there is one, need not release the mounting arm,press down pedal(4),directly tilt the vertical arm.
   Repeat the operation for the other tire bead
   

3. Mounting the Tire
   Warning: this checking of tire and rim is of utmost importance to prevent tire explosion during the inflating operation. Before beginning mounting operation make sure that:
   The tire and the cord fabric are not damaged. If you note the defects, do not mount the tire.
   The rim is without dents and is not warped. Attention with alloy rims, dents because internal micro-cracks not visible to naked eye. This can compromise the rim and also be the source of danger especially during inflation.
   The diameter of the rim and tire are exactly the same. Never try to mount a tire on a rim if you cannot identify the diameter of both.
   Lubricate the tire beads with the special grease in order to avoid damaging them and to facilitate the mounting operations.
   When tilting the vertical arm, make sure that nobody stands behind the tire changer.
   When you are working with the rims of the same size, it is not necessary always to lock and unlock the hex bar. Just tilt and restore the vertical arm with the horizontal arm and mounting arm locked.
   Move the tire so that the bead passes below the front section of the mounting head and is brought up against the edge of the rear section of the mounting head itself.
   Keep the tire bead pressed down into the wheel rim channel with your hands, press down on the pedal (1) to rotate the turntable clockwise. Continue until you have covered the whole circumference to the wheel rim; insert the inner tube (if there is one).
   Repeat the same operations to mount the upper side of the tire.
   WARNING: dismounting and mounting are always done with the clockwise turntable rotation. Anticlockwise rotation is used only to correct operator’s errors or if the turntable stalls.
