Operator Protective Equipment
Personal protective equipment helps make tire
changing safer. However, equipment does not take
the place of safe operating practices. Always wear
durable work clothing during tire service activity.
Shop aprons or shop coats may also be worn, how-
ever loose fitting clothing should be avoided. Tight
fitting leather gloves are recommended to protect
operator’s hands when handling worn tires and
wheels. Sturdy leather work shoes with steel toes
and oil resistant soles should be used by tire ser-
vice personnel to help prevent injury in typical shop
activities. Eye protection is essential during tire ser-
vice activity. Safety glasses with side shields, gog-
gles, or face shields are acceptable. Back belts
provide support during lifting activities and are also
helpful in providing operator protection.
Consideration should also be given to the use of
hearing protection if tire service activity is per-
formed in an enclosed area, or if noise levels are
high.
Failure to follow danger,
warning, and caution
instructions may lead to
serious personal injury or death to operator or
bystander or damage to property. Do not oper-
ate this machine until you read and understand
all the dangers, warnings and cautions in this
manual. Download a copy of the manual from
