Description of operation
Rim clamping, tower tilting and mounting/demounting
tool locking in the operating position are pneumatic
operations.
The turntable with four adjustable jaws is driven by
an electric motor using a V-belt and worm reduction
unit. The turntable can be operated at two speeds,
with a pedal for switching between them.
Machine movements are controlled using pedals
arranged in a control unit.
The mounting/demounting tool is pneumatically
locked in the correct operating position relative to the
rim, using a manual control valve incorporated in the
locking lever on the mounting arm.
For wheel clamping and unclamping, the entire
tower with mounting/demounting tool and mounting
arm can be tilted back, without changing the
operating position set. This means wheels of
identical size can be handled one after another
without the need for repeated readjustment of the
mounting/demounting tool. The tower is simply tilted
again to the respective operating position on the rim
flange.
A pneumatic bead breaker for rapidly breaking the
bead of tyres fitting tightly to the rim without causing
damage is incorporated in the machine and is part of
the standard kit.
For tyre inflation the machine has a pedal-operated
tyre inflating device. For details of its fitting,
operation and use see chapter "Inflating a tyre".
The GP type tyre changer operation and use are
identical to those of the no GP basic type. The only
difference is the added pedal-operated tyre inflating
device and bead seating with powerful air jets from
the clamping jaws (for bead seating tubeless tyres).
For fitting, operation and use of the inflating device see
§ "Inflating a tyre".
