Inspection and Preparation

Before beginning the tire-changing process:

  1. Inspect the Wheel: Check for any visible damage or wheel weights.
  2. Release Air Pressure: Remove the service cap and valve core to drain all air from the tire.

Breaking the Beads

  • Use the air-powered and hand-operated bead loosener, which provides a clear line of sight to the wheel and tire.
  • This feature minimizes the risk of damage to valuable customer wheels while maintaining focus and control.

Securing the Wheel

  1. Place the wheel onto the pedestal, aligning the alignment pin with a lug hole.
  2. Center the wheel on the pedestal and insert the center locking mechanism.
  3. Push down on the lock, twist a quarter turn, and use the adjustment nut to secure the wheel firmly.

De-Mounting the Tire

  1. Insert the toolbar over the duck head and under the bead.
  2. Use the 220V motor to rotate the tabletop, de-mounting the top bead.
  3. For challenging assemblies, use the robo-roller helper to maintain pressure and ensure precision.
  4. Repeat the process to remove the bottom bead.

Mounting the New Tire

  1. Lubrication: Apply lubricant to both beads of the new tire and the drop center and bead seat of the wheel.
  2. Mounting:
    • Rotate the tabletop to mount the bottom bead.
    • Use the robo-arm and robo-roller helper to assist with maintaining the tire in the drop center.
  3. Repeat for the top bead, ensuring a smooth and secure fit.
