1.5. PERSONNEL TRAINING

1. Employers are responsible for providing a training program for all employees who work
on the wheels concerning the hazards deriving from maintenance and the safety pro-
cedures to be observed. Service and maintenance refers to mounting and demounting
wheels and all the correlated activities, such as inflation, deflation, installation, removal
and handling.
• Employers are required to make sure that operators do not work on the wheels unless
they have received suitable training regarding the correct maintenance procedures for
the type of wheel being serviced and the operative safety procedures.
• Information to be used for the training program includes, as a minimum, the informa-
tion contained in this manual.
2. Employers are required to make sure that every employee demonstrates and maintains
the ability to work on the wheels safely, including the performance of the following
activities:
• Tyre demounting (including deflating).
• Inspection and identification of the components of the wheel with a rim.
• Tyre mounting.
• Use of restraint devices, cages, barriers or other systems.
• Handling wheels with rims.
• Tyre inflation.
• Move away from the tyre changer while inflating the tyre and do not lean forward when
inspecting the wheel during inflation.
• Wheel installation and removal.
3. Employers must evaluate the ability of their employees to carry out these tasks and
work on the wheels in absolutely safety and must provide additional training as required
to make sure that all employees maintain their skills.

1.6. PRELIMINARY CHECKS

Before starting to work, carefully check that all machine components, particularly rub-
ber or plastic parts, are in place, in good condition and operate correctly. If damage or
excessive wear is found during the inspection phase, replace or repair the component
immediately regardless of the amount of damage or wear.

1.7. DURING USE

If strange or unusual noises are heard, if a component or system is not operating correctly or
if you observe anything unusual, immediately stop using the machine.
• Identify the cause and implement all the necessary corrective measures.
• Contact your supervisor if necessary.
Make sure that all other people are positioned at least 6 metres (20 feet) from the machine.
To stop the machine under emergency conditions:
• disconnect the power supply plug;
• interrupt the compressed air supply by disconnecting the supply pipe.
