DANGER
In view of the size and weight of tyres for earthmoving machines, and to ensure safe
operating conditions, a second person must be available to keep the wheel in a verti-
cal position.
A fork-lift truck or a crane should be used when handling wheels weighing more than
500 kg.
Do not leave the wheel locked on the turntable for periods longer than the normal
operating pauses.
DANGER
When working with wheels with a diameter greater than 1500 mm, or with a weight
higher than 200 kg, during the phase of loading-locking the wheel on the turntable,
it is mandatory that you work in safe conditions, following the instructions provided
below:
- Tip the tool-holder arm backward.
- Install the wheel anti-tipping guard (A, Fig. 22) in its housing.
- Place the wheel in a vertical position (Fig. 22) so that its external side is next to the
guard.
- Activate the turntable in the best way for locking the wheel.
- Remove the guard and then proceed with the mounting and demounting operations.
N.B. The same safety procedure must be used during the wheel loading and unloading
phase.
Before fitting or removing the tyre, lubricate the beads carefully to protect them against
possible damage and to facilitate fitting and removal operations.
For the areas to lubricate, refer to figures 38 (mounting tubeless tyres), 39 (demounting
tubeless tyres) and 38 (mounting tyres with an inner tube and bead).
WARNING
It is prohibited to use hydrocarbon based lubricants (oil, petroleum, etc.) or other
substances that maintain the lubricating effect over time.
WARNING
This tyre changer for heavy vehicles makes it possible to work safely always close to
the ground! Lift the heavy tyres as little as possible up off the ground before perform-
ing the demounting/mounting operations.
