Mount/Demount Tool Adjustment
To Adjust Lock Tightness
With lock handle unlocked, loosen jam nut (ref. 1) and
adjust pin (ref. 2) until a slight firmness is obtained, then
tighten jam nut and check. Also recheck tool head lift at
this time.
Pressure Limiter Maintenance
DANGER
Operating a tire changer with a defective,
improperly adjusted, or by-passed pressure
limiter could cause an operator to acciden-
tally over pressurize a tire, resulting in a tire
explosion with severe injury or death to the
operator or bystanders.
Always be sure that the pressure limiter is
present and is operating properly.
DANGER
Never inflate tire above manufacturer’s rec-
ommended pressure after bead is seated.
Pressure limiter is set at 60 PSI. Any required
inflation above 60 PSI should be performed
in an inflation chamber/safety cage or
securely mounted on the vehicle if an infla-
tion chamber is not available. A tire explo-
sion may cause personal injury or death to
operator or bystanders.
The pressure limiter helps prevent inflation of standard
size or larger tires or tubes beyond 60 PSI to minimize
risk of explosion. This device is for the safety of the
operator and bystanders. Proper operation of the pres-
sure limiter is essential to safe operation of the machine.
Check operation of the pressure limiter as shown and
described below at least monthly:
1. Remove tires and/or wheels from the machine.
2. Connect the inflation hose to an empty service
tank with a pressure gauge (gauge should read 0). Use
a certified tank with at least 250 PSI pressure rating.
3. Depress inflation pedal to position 1 to start airflow
through the hose and into the tank. Maintain a steady
pressure for constant flow.
