4. Operating the Tire Changer (ME-T500)

Whāia ēnei mahi mō ngā mahi whakawhiti potae haumaru, whai hua hoki.

Whakaahua 4.1: Ka taea te whakarite clampkei runga i te tēpu hurihuri, e urutau ana ki ngā rahi o ngā potae rerekē.

Whakaahua 4.2: Simple foot-pedal controls for intuitive operation of the tire changer.

4.1 Te Pakarutanga o ngā Pīni

1. Position the wheel on the side-mounted bead breaker. Ensure the tire is flush against the machine to prevent movement.
2. Apply the bead breaker paddle to the tire sidewall, close to the rim but avoiding the tire pressure sensor (TPMS) valve.
3. Slowly actuate the bead breaker pedal to push the bead off the rim. The bead breaker provides up to 5500 LBS of force.
4. Repeat for both sides of the tire.

4.2 Clamping the Wheel

1. Place the wheel onto the turntable. The machine supports outside clampte (10"-19") me te roto o te whareampte rahi (12"-21").
2. Use the foot pedal to actuate the four clamping jaws, securing the wheel firmly. Ensure the jaws are properly engaged to prevent slippage.

4.3 Demounting the Tire

1. Lubricate both tire beads with mounting paste.
2. Position the stainless steel mounting head (bird head) just above the rim edge.
3. Use the tire lever to pry the top bead over the mounting head.
4. Hurihia te tēpu hurihuri mā te whakamahi i te pātara waewae hei tango katoa i te pirepire o runga.
5. Repeat for the bottom bead.

4.4 Mounting the Tire

1. Lubricate both tire beads and the rim edges with mounting paste.
2. Place the bottom bead of the new tire onto the rim, ensuring it sits in the drop center.
3. Position the mounting head and use the foot pedal to rotate the turntable, guiding the bottom bead onto the rim.
4. For the top bead, ensure the tire is pushed down into the notch of the rim. Use the tire lever to guide the top bead over the mounting head while rotating the turntable.

4.5 Te pikinga

1. Remove the wheel from the machine before inflating. Never inflate a tire while it is clamped i runga i te miihini.
2. Connect the inflation hose with pressure gauge to the tire valve.
3. Inflate the tire to the manufacturer's recommended pressure. Listen for the beads to seat with an audible 'pop'.

4.6 Operational Tips for Rim Protection

To prevent scratching alloy rims, especially during bead breaking and mounting/demounting:

• Use plastic bead breaker covers on the bead breaker paddle.
• Ensure the tire is flush against the bead breaker pad to minimize movement.
• When demounting/mounting, ensure the stainless steel bird head is properly adjusted to clear the rim. A slight gap (e.g., 1/4 inch) between the head and the rim is ideal to account for tire deflection.
• Whakamahia i nga wa katoa ample tire mounting paste on both beads and rim edges.
• Consider using additional plastic protectors on the clamping jaws if working with delicate rims.
