14. Lower the wheel to the point where the roller
assembly can be moved forward without catching on
the rim.
15. Move the carriage out slowly while rotating the
tire, which will move the tire and insert off of the rim.
16. Remove the rim from the tire changer and set
aside.
17. Rotate the arms until one jaw is straight up.
18. Roll the tire and insert back onto the carriage.
Lean the tire assembly away from the machine and
move the carriage inward. When the tire is over the
jaws, raise the arms until the top jaw securely hooks
the bead of the tire.
19. Raise the tire and rotate until a second jaw has
hooked the bead.
The hydraulic pressure regulator knob,
located on the swinging pod front, should
again be set at minimum pressure. Also,
care should be taken to ensure that the
beads are not overly stretched.
Always keep your hands out of the jaw area.
20. Expand the arms and move the last jaw into
place. This may require using a screwdriver from the
back to guide the last bead into a secure position.
21. When all three jaws are properly holding the
bead, expand the arms as much as possible but not
exceeding 1500 psi.
22. Move the carriage all the way in and lower the
tire to the carriage.
23. Guide the 4 inch wide strap between the tire
and the run flat insert at top dead center and loop it
back through the center hole. Connect the strap
around the forward cross bar on the machine’s car-
riage.
24. Raise the tire to full height and move the car-
riage all the way out. If the insert does not come clear
in one stroke, bring the tire down and the carriage in
allowing the strap to be shortened. If the insert is
almost out, take up some slack by rotating the tire two
or three revolutions; twisting the strap.
Stand back when removing the run flat
insert, which can clear the tire quickly.
25. Remove the tire from the machine by retracting
the arms.
