Operation; Bead Breaking - SICE S 45 Manual De Instrucciones

WARNING!
During all operations, keep hands and other parts of the body as far as possible from moving parts of the machine.
Necklaces, bracelets and too large clothes, can be dangerous for the operator.
WARNING!
The optional PT 250 accessory and/or other specific accessories are required to work on RUN FLAT, LOW PROFILE
or UHP wheels. For use of the accessories and the correct operating procedure, refer to the manuals supplied
with the accessories themselves, approved by WDK.
WARNING!
Bead breaking must be done with the utmost care and attention.
When the bead breaker pedal is operated the bead breaker arm moves quickly and powerfully.
Anything within its range of action can be in danger of being crushed.
WARNING!
Remember to remove all weights from both sides of the rim before operating the machine.
1) Deflate the tyre completely and remove the valve core.
2) Close the table top gripper slides completely.
WARNING!
Bead breaking with the table top slide grippers open can crush the operator's hands.
During bead breaking NEVER touch the walls of the tyre with your hands.
3) Open the bead loosener by hand by pushing it towards the outside. Place the wheel up against the rubber wheel support (13, Fig. P).
Bring the blade (14, Fig. P) against the bead about 1 cm from the edge of the rim (See Fig. R).
WARNING! Position the blade as to operate the side
of the tyre and not of the rim.
4) Push the blade (14, Fig. P) into the tyre by depressing pedal (3, Fig. P).
Repeat this process at different points around the tyre and on both sides
until the beads are completely loosened.
WARNING: During bead breaking, care must be taken
not to deform the tyre too much as this may damage it.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of damage to the valve and the pressure sensor (if installed), only break the bead with the
valve and sensor at 90° to the bead breaker pressure point (at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock).
Before proceeding with the bead breaking procedure, it is essential to identify the type of tyre being worked on
(especially when working on RUN FLAT, LOW PROFILE or UHP tyres).
