15 9.0 INSTALLATION 9.1 Spaces required to position the machine When choosing the place of installation, remember to observe current standards on safety at the workplace. - The tyre changer needs to be connected to the electrical mains and to the compressed air supply. The machine should therefore be installed near such energy sources. - Furthermore, the chosen place of installation must avail of the spaces indicated in drawings 4-4/A at least, so that all of its parts are able to work without any restrictions. If the tyre changer is the type with an electric motor, it is forbidden to use it in an explosive environment unless it is a version specifically designed for such purpose. Lifting point Fig. 4b 9.2_Positioning Fig. 4 Fig. 4a Position the tyre changer on flat, smooth and non-slippery ground of suitable load-bearing capacity. Use lifting equipment of suitable load-bearing capacity that is able to take the weight of the tyre changer (at least 450 Kg.); to lift the machine, use a transport strap with minimum load-bearing capacity of at least 500 kg. The machine must not necessarily be anchored to the ground, but if you prefer to do so, drill 100 mm deep holes in the ground by the 4 holes of the machine bed using a 10-mm bit for concrete of suitable length. Insert suitable metal anchor dowels in the holes drilled and secure firmly. If the tyre changer is installed outdoors, it must be sheltered by an appropriate structure to protect it against atmospheric events. The place where the tyre changer is installed must be equipped with an electrical safety system with efficient earthing and also supplied with appropriate differential 16A circuit breaker. The place of installation must avail of a pneumatic connection with minimum working pressure of 8 bar. Once you have finished positioning the machine, slide the safety pin out that prevents the arm from tipping accidentally (fig. 4b). Put the pin away safely with the accessories supplied so that it can be used again if the machine is moved somewhere else. 15

16 9.3_Commissioning Before you connect the machine electrically, check the nameplate fitted on it to make sure the electrical power supply to which it will be connected matches the electrical arrangement of the manufacturer. Work on the electrical system, even if trivial, must be carried out by professionally qualified personnel. The manufacturer is not liable for machine damages caused by the incorrect electrical connection of the same, different to the instructions herein.. When moving the machine around to position it initially or if it is moved in the future to a different location, it must be disconnected from the electrical and pneumatic power sources. - Connect the machine to the electrical mains, which must have line fuses and an efficient earthing system, pursuant to current standards. It must also be connected to an automatic differential circuit breaker calibrated at 16 A. NOTE: If the machine is supplied without an electrical plug, the user shall fit one (at least 16A) that is suitable for the voltage of the machine and that complies with current standards. - Connect the machine to the compressed air system using the fitting on the lubricator at the back of the machine. 16

17 10.0_OPERATIONAL TEST A B H V C E D S F G T U R S Q P - Press pedal M and the wheel positioner P should raise; to lower the wheel positioner, lift the same pedal upwards. - Press pedal L on L2 and the spindle flange R should turn clockwise. Press the pedal L on L1 and the spindle flange R should turn anti-clockwise. I L2 L1 L M N NB: If the flange should turn in the opposite direction to that indicated, you need to invert two wires on the plug, if it is three-phase. - Turn selector A to the right to block the movement of the bead breaking carriage; in this situation, the carriage will only move in work mode (over stroke) by pressing button G, at the back of the control panel. If the selector is turned to the left (unblocked), the only movement possible will be that of approaching the bead breaking carriage (right - left) using buttons C and D. - Press button E and the upper bead breaking carriage S will move upwards; press button X and the carriage will lower. - Press button F and the lower bead breaking carriage will move downwards; press button Y and the carriage will rise. - Press button B and turn the bead breaking carriage Q, the latter will move out from the work position. Release the button and the hook will block again. To move the carriage to the work position, turn the latter towards the machine and make sure the hook blocks it. - To turn the bead breaking disc, move handle U towards handle T and simultaneously accompany the disc support by hand downwards or upwards. - With the pedal I right down, the vertical arm V moves to the work position; with pedal I raised, the arm V tilts backwards out of the work position. - Press pedal N to start inflating the tyre; if you wish to deflate the tyre, use button H at the side of the gauge. All the procedures are to be performed without using a tyre, making sure that no other parts of the machine interfere with the movements when performing them. 17

18 11.0_IDENTIFYING AND CHECKING THE RIM AND TYRE Before you start to demount the tyre, it is of CRUCIAL IMPORTANCE to identify the measurements of the rim and of the tyre. Also make sure neither is damaged. ATTENTION: These procedures are very important and are to be performed to reduce risks of the tyre bursting when re-mounting the tyre on the rim and inflating it. All rims bear an indication of their diameter, width, number of humps etc. If we take the picture below as an example, you can see that: A= 8 Nominal width of the rim in inches (1 inch =24.5 mm) B = J Size of the flange C = 15 Nominal diameter of the rim D = H2 It indicates if there is a double hump (anti bead removing edge) A B C D 8Jx15H2 The tyre bears a considerable amount of details, among which are the dimensions, type and maximum speed. For example: 205/65 R 15 91H TL A B C D E F G A = 205 indicates the width of the tyre, in other words the distance between the sides, expressed in millimetres. B = 65 is the ratio expressed in percentage between the height of the section and its width. C = R Type of tyre (R = radial) D = 15 indicates the keying diameter in inches (diameter of wheel), which must be the same as the rim. E = 91 is the index of the maximum load born for each wheel. F = H is the maximum admitted speed of the tyre. (H= 210Km/h) G = TL means that the tyre is Tubeless ATTENTION: It is strictly forbidden to mount tyres on rims that have different parameters (diameter and width). It is also forbidden to mount tyres with different dimensions compared to those stated in the logbook. 18

19 12.0_POSITIONING THE VALVE Fig. 6 shows a rim in the form of a clock, so that, following the various processing phases described hereafter, (chapter entitled Mounting and Demounting), you can position the valve and its sensor correctly so as not to damage them. ATTENTION: To avoid damaging the valve and the pressure sensor, if the latter is installed, you must always arrange the valve in the position indicated, following the instructions when mounting and demounting the tyre. fig.6 fig _TYRE CLASSIFICATION LOW PROFILE tyres (UHP) are those in which the height (H) and the width (C) have a ratio lower than 0.5 (i.e. low profile series 45 stands for a ratio of H/C = 0.45). For tyres to be considered as LOW PROFILE (UHP), they must also have a maximum speed code of equal to and/or higher than V. RUN-FLAT tyres are those which, even when they have no internal pressure, allow you to continue to drive the vehicle for a preset number of miles and at a preset speed. These parameters change from one manufacturer to another. The market currently offers 2 different types of RUN-FLAT tyres: - Those with REINFORCED SIDE (SELF-SUPPORTING) where, thanks to a different mix and a reinforced structure, the shoulder of the tyre is able to bear the weight of the vehicle even when the pressure in the tyre is zero. - Those with INTERNAL SUPPORT have a ring inside the rim that bears the side of the tyre when there is no pressure inside it. The internal support may be made of plastic (Pax-Sistem) or of metal (Support-Ring). The tyre changer is able to handle all types of LOW PROFILE (UHP) and all types of RUN-FLAT tyres with REINFOR- CED SIDE; for other types, refer to the specific instructions of the dedicated accessories, if available. The mounting and demounting procedure is the same, be it a RUN-FLAT tyre with REINFORCED SIDE (SELF-SUP- PORTING) or a LOW PROFILE tyre (UHP). ATTENTION: It is of crucial importance to follow the instructions very carefully in order to avoid irreparable damages to the tyre, which could compromise the vehicle s safety. All tyres that are not within the categories stated above are to be considered as standard tyres. 19

20 14.0_CLAMPS FOR CONVENTIONAL RIMS A conventional rim is a wheel of a vehicle with rim of steel or light aluminium alloy, with a drop centre hole and channel near the outer edge of the rim. For other types of rims, please consult the chapters on the accessories available on request. - Using a special tool, remove any counterweights on the rim, being particularly careful not to damage the rim. If the wheel positioner is available: - Make sure none of the tools are in the work zone of the wheel positioner so that it is free to position the wheel correctly. - Position the wheel on the spindle using the wheel positioner, as follows: - Arrange the wheel on the left roller of the machine, vertically with the external edge of the tyre facing the left. - Using the lifting pedal, raise the platform and the wheel up to the flat position and align the drop centre hole of the wheel with the spindle flange. - Lower the LIFT and centre the driving pin. For rather wide wheels (wider than 24 ) or when using the optional flange for back-to-front wheels, you may need to widen the plastic rollers of the lift and/or change the tilt of the rollers before lifting. Driving pin Spindle flange Wheel Positioner Wheel positioner pedal Extending rollers 20

21 There is a driving pin on the spindle flange that is to be fitted in one of the rim clamping holes. Position the ring nut hub and the appropriate nose on the spindle flange in relation to the diameter of the drop centre hole. Proceed as follows to couple the hub correctly: - Turn the hub clockwise by hand until you find the exact coupling position. - Press the hub and turn clockwise by 90 as far as it will go. - Release the pin and make sure it raises by approximately 10mm, otherwise turn it slightly clockwise and/or anticlockwise forcing the pin upwards so that it lifts. - Position the nose in contact with the rim, perfectly centred with the drop centre hole. The nose has a split that must match-up (if necessary) with the driving pin. - Tighten the ring nut so that it moves up to the nose and continue to tighten so that the wheel is pushed firmly on the flange of the spindle. ATTENTION: Before you start any work on the wheel, make sure it is clamped perfectly on the spindle 14.1_OVER RUN Procedure used to make it easier to remove high-sided tyres DO NOT USE FOR UHP AND RUN-FLAT TYRES Upper bead breaker Lower bead breaker Take the disc up to the tyre so that the lower edge of the disc exceeds the edge of the rim. Take the disc up to the tyre so that the lower edge of the disc exceeds the edge of the rim. Pull the release lever upwards to release the disc. Push the release lever downwards to release the disc. Remove the tyre following the instructions given hereafter. Remove the tyre following the instructions given hereafter. 21

22 14.2_BEAD BREAKING DEFLATE the tyre completely by removing the valve before starting any work. - Using an appropriate tool, remove all the counterweights from the rim, being very careful not to damage it. ATTENTION: Do NOT start any work on the wheel before the tyre is completely deflated. - Before starting any work, make sure there is no pressure sensor, otherwise check its state of efficiency using a special tester - Position the bead breaking disc (as illustrated in fig. Phase 1 ) to remove the top part of the tyre. To do this, move the two levers together (re. A), accompany the disc support with your hand upwards Fase 1 and release the two levers so as to block the disc support. - Position the upper bead breaking carriage on the tyre using control buttons C and D on the control panel. - The bead breaking disc should be approximately 5mm from the outer edge of the rim. Block the disc in position by turning selector A. - Turn the spindle flange until the valve reaches the 2 o clock position. - Lower the bead breaking disc until it touches the tyre, using control buttons E to raise and X to lower. - At this stage, start to turn anti-clockwise. NB: The spindle flange can turn at 2 different speeds, which the operator may choose on a case-to-case basis for the most suitable working requirements. - When turning the tyre, push the bead breaking disc down under the edge of the rim and then press and hold down the over stroke function button G and continue pushing the disc down (in sections) until the bead of the tyre has come away from the rim. A B - Once the bead breaking disc has created enough space, start to lubricate carefully, both on the internal part of the rim and on the bead of the tyre; use a specific lubricant for tyres to do this. (phase 2) If there is a sensor, make sure it does not come into contact with the lubricant. - Once the tyre has come off the rim, put the bead breaking disc back in its initial position (out of the work zone). Release button G and raise the disc. Press button B and turn the bead breaking carriage outwards out of the work area Turn the bead breaking disc downwards (follow the instructions of phase 1 ) (ref. B) - Raise the lower bead breaking disc until it touches the tyre, using control buttons Y to raise and F to lower. - At this stage, start to turn anti-clockwise. NB: The spindle flange can turn at 2 different speeds, which the operator may choose on a case-to-case basis for the most suitable working requirements. 22

23 - When turning the tyre, push the bead breaking disc up under the edge of the rim and then press and hold down the over stroke function button G and continue pushing the disc up (in sections) until the bead of the tyre has come away from the rim. - Once the bead breaking disc has created enough space, start to lubricate carefully, both on the internal part of the rim and on the bead of the tyre; use a specific lubricant for tyres to do this. (phase 3) Note: for this type of process, you can get a better view of the bottom by exploiting the mirror fitted on the machine to position the bead breaking disc correctly. Fase 2 Fase 3 ATTENTION: While removing the rim, just press on the bead and never on the side of the tyre. 23

24 14.2_DEMOUNTING STANDARD TYRES - Proceed as follows to demount the tyre: - Turn the spindle until the valve is in the 1 o clock position (roughly 10 cm after the tool). - Position the assembly head over the rim and block it using control button K (ref. 1 fig. 10a/b); this will block the operating arm and the horizontal arm; the assembly head positions itself automatically at the correct distance from the rim. -Press the button in position 2; the arms unlock and the assembly head lowers onto the rim or down to the minimum service height. -Press the button in position 3; the arms unlock and the assembly head raises out of the work position - Press the button in position 1 and the operating arm and the horizontal arm lock.

31 16.0_INFLATION Tyres are to be inflated with utmost caution. Strictly follow the instructions hereafter because the tyre changer is NOT designed and manufactured to safeguard the user (nor anybody else standing near the machine) if the tyre should accidentally burst. ATTENTION! If the tyre bead fails to fit in place during inflation at the maximum pressure of 3.3 bar, you need to repeat the bead breaking and lubricating procedure of the tyre itself and then try inflating again. If the tyre should burst or the rim should break under pressure, operators could be seriously injured or even killed. Make sure the rim and the tyre are the same size. Also check the state of wear of the tyre and the rim to make sure there are no defects before starting to inflate. Inflate the tyre with short blasts of air and check the pressure frequently while inflating. All our tyre changers are automatically limited to an inflation pressure of 4.2 bar (61 PSI). NEVER EXCEED THE PRESSURE RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER WHATE- VER THE CASE. Keep hands and body as far away as possible from the tyre during inflation. Connect the inflation hose to the valve of the tyre. Make sure the rim and the tyre have the same diameter again. Make sure the rim and tyre are sufficiently lubricated; lubricate if necessary. Press and release the inflation pedal continuously, checking the pressure on the gauge frequently until the tyre bead fits completely on the rim. Continue inflating to reach the pressure recommended by the manufacturer. Always inflate in short blasts and always checking the pressure while doing so. Press the deflation button to deflate the tyre if, during inflation, the pressure exceeds the value recommended by the manufacturer. 31
