ANCHORING
It is not essential to anchor the machine to the floor,
however, the floor must be smooth and level. When anchor-
ing to a concrete floor use the mounting holes that are pro-
vided in the frame. Make sure the machine is solid and level
and supported evenly on all anchor points. Solid shims may
be used if necessary. (See Fig 8.5)

PSI maximum pressure. The safe operating pressure Fig 9.3)
range for this model is between 110 PSI and 175 PSI
at the machine. A 1/4” ID hose (or pipe) for connection Fig 9.3
to the machine is satisfactory. Sufficient air pressure
­­­­­
assures good performance.

1. Connect the Air Supply to the Air Drier / Oiler. A proper

fitting (not included) to match the supply line of the air
supply connection is required. Use Teflon tape on the NPT
thread of the fitting. This connection is located on the right
side of the rear of the machine. (See Fig 9.1)

ELECTRICAL SOURCE

NOTE:
THIS ADJUSTMENT WILL REQUIRE AT LEAST TWO
OPERATORS TO PERFORM.

OILER ADJUSTMENT
1. Check Oil Level on Oil Level Gauge. (See Fig. 9.2) 1. This unit requires power from a 15 amp electrical circuit.
If Oil level is low refer to Section 15, for filling instructions. The unit is supplied standard with a 110 Volt power cord
and plug. (See Fig 10.1). Please remember that ALL F
Fig 9.2 models are standard 220 V only.

2. Refer to the serial tag of the machine for specific

electrical requirements. Have a licensed electrical techni-
cian perform any necessary changes to the power source
and power cord before plugging in the unit. The electrical
source must have a solid connection between ground and
building ground.

BEAD LOOSENING
1. Deflate tire completely by removing the valve core from
the valve stem. (See Fig 11.1)

Fig 11.1

7. Turn wheel around and repeat procedure on the other

side of the wheel. This should be the long side of the drop
center. It will be easier to clamp the wheel to the table top if
the lower bead is loosened last. (See Fig. 11.4)

Fig 11.4

2. The clamps on the table top may extend beyond the

table top itself. To avoid damaging the clamps and/or
wheel, move the clamps to their full inward position before
positioning a tire for bead loosening.

3. Always loosen the bead on the narrow side of the wheels

drop center first. (See Fig. 11.5 for description of the drop
center)
4. Pull the bead breaker blade away from the machine and
roll the wheel into position. If servicing a performance wheel
or any other wheel with Tire Pressure Sensor (see section
12), make sure that the valve stem is either in the 12 o’clock
or 6 o’clock position.
5. The Bead Breaker Arm Adjustment Rod limits or extends
the movement of the arm. Set the Rod as appropriate to the
tire and wheel being serviced. (See Fig. 11.2)
8. Determine the mounting side of the wheel. The mounting
Fig 11.2 side is the narrow side of the drop center. (See Fig. 11.5)

6. Position the bead breaker blade against the tire next

to, but not on, the rim or the sidewall of the tire. Press the
breaker pedal to actuate the blade and loosen the bead. It

ALLOY WHEELS
Some manufacturers offer wheels with little or no drop
center. These are not DOT approved. The tire or wheel - or
both - can be damaged and the tire could explode under
pressure, resulting in serious injury or death. If you attempt
to mount/demount this type of wheel, use extreme caution.

 DEMOUNTING TUBE TYPE TIRES 3. Lubricate both tire beads liberally with tire manufacturer’s
approved lubricant. (See Fig 13.3)
1. After both tire beads are loosened, try to remove the
tube. If you can not remove the tube lubricate the beads Fig 13.3
and rim liberally.

2. Position the demount head and bead lifting tool as

described earlier paying careful attention not to pinch the
tube. Depress the table top pedal and rotate only a short
distance at a time. This allows you to stop the process
should you suspect the tube is getting pinched.

3. After upper bead is demounted, remove tube and

demount lower bead.

REMEMBER:
TABLE TOP ROTATION CAN BE STOPPED AT ANY
TIME BY REMOVING YOUR FOOT FROM THE ROTA-
