The Coats 80X Rim Clamp Tire Changer is a powerhouse for high-volume, heavy-duty tire shops. Specifically built to tackle modern challenges associated with serving tires efficiently, the 80X Rim Clamp offers a streamlined approach for both mounting and demounting tires. Read and follow these steps to perfect your process for using an 80X Rim Clamp when changing a tire.

Step 1: Inspect the Wheel Assembly

Before starting, take the wheel assembly off the vehicle and inspect it properly:

  • Damage: Look for cracks or bends and other structural issues.
  • Remove Wheel Weights: All should be removed to avoid interference.
  • Drain Air: Remove the service cap and the valve core to drain all the air from the tire.

Step 2: Break the Bead

The air-powered and hand-operated 80X bead loosener has an optical line-of-sight view with the tire and the wheel. Hence, this system keeps a technician alert for not scrapping costly customer rims.

  • Position the bead loosener up against the tire.
  • Break the bead gently in a full circle around it.

Step 3: Lock the Wheel to the Tabletop

  • Open the Clamps: Pull up on the pedal to open the clamps.
  • Position the Wheel: Place the assembly safely on the tabletop.
  • Inspect the Clamps: The clamps should be in good condition and set properly so the wheel is not damaged.

High-end wheels should be clamped from the outside for additional safety. Pull the pedal down to secure the wheel.

Step 4: Lubricate the Tire Beads

Lubrication makes the process of demounting easy by minimizing friction:

  • Lubricate the top bead.
  • You will use the robo-roller arm for a finer action.

Step 5: Demount the Tire

  • Place the Toolbar: Place the toolbar on top of the duck head and bottom of the bead.
  • Use the Robo Arm: At 180ยฐ to the duck head, press the top bead into the drop center, which distributes the bead’s stress.
  • Turn the Tabletop: Push the turning pedal to rotate the table and unclip the top bead.
  • For challenging assemblies, the robo-roller helper can sustain force on the bead to stop it from rolling away from the duck head.
  • Repeat for the bottom bead using the robo arm for heavier tires.

Step 6: Mount the New Tire

  • Prepare the Parts: Lubricate the new tire’s beads and the wheel’s drop center and bead seat.
  • Mount the Bottom Bead By mounting the bottom bead, you can Rotate the table with the help of the rotation pedal.
  • Mount the Top Bead: Repeat for the top bead.

Using the robo arm and robo-roller helper, keep the tire over the drop center.
