Before using the tyre changer, check all functions with the operating part to ensure the machine is working
properly. This should be done before mounting.
1.3.2 Precautions during tyre assembly
Before mounting the tyre, the following precautions must be observed:
Only mount undamaged, clean, dry rims and tyres that are in good condition.
Remove old balance weights.
Check rim and tyre for damage, especially aluminium rims. Do not mount if damaged.
Check that the rim and tyre size match.
Before dismantling, let all air out of the tyre.
Before mounting, coat the rim and tyre well with tyre lubricant to avoid damage.
Always use a new valve.
The tyre changer is not splash-proof, so do not clean wheels on the machine with water jets.
