the tool arm.
6) Now depress the pedal (1, Fig. E) to begin clockwise rotation. Utilize the wheel's
drop-centre area by pushing down on the sidewall nearly opposite the head to reduce
tensional force on the bead as the wheel rotates.
N.B.: Insert the inner tube if the tyre has one.
7) Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the upper tyre bead.
CAUTION: With tubeless tyres, begin mounting with the valve at 4 o'clock
relative to the head.
8) Once the tyre is mounted, press the pedal (7, Fig. E) to move the column (8,
Fig. E) away from the work position.
9) Depress pedal (5, Fig. E) to release the wheel from the table top.
N.B. Demounting and mounting are always done with the table top rotating clockwise. Anticlockwise rotation is used only to correct opera-
tor errors or if the table top stalls.
SPECIAL WHEELS
If equipped with the optional PT150 accessory, the TC 205 / Liga C 220 can work with self-supporting run-flat tyres, low profile tyres and
UHP tyres.
The correct working procedures for these wheels are described in the instruction manuals provided with the specific accessories.
DANGER!!
Tyre inflation is dangerous.
Follow carefully all the cautions and instructions given.
A WHEEL CAN EXPLODE IF:
1) the diameter of the rim is not exactly the same at the tyre's.
2) the rim or tyre are defective.
3) if the maximum recommended pressure is exceeded during bead seating.
4) the tyre is inflated to a pressure higher than the maximum recommended by the manufacturer.
5) the operator does not observe the requisite safety regulations.
IMPORTANT: All the operations described in this section refer to machines equipped with an inflation gun.
Follow these steps:
1) Remove the valve stem.
10.5 BEAD SEATING AND INFLATING
DANGER!!
Tyre or rim failure under pressure is hazardous and any resulting explosion can propel the
tyre upward and outward with sufficient energy to cause serious injury or death to operator or
bystander.
Though this tyre changer is equipped with a pressure limiter set at 3.5 bar (50 Psi), it is not
intended to be a safety device to contain exploding tyres, tubes, rims or bead sealing
equipment and, hence, does not eliminate the risk of and damage from any such explosion.
