14. MAINTENANCE
Each maintenance operation must be effected only after the disconnection of the plug
from electric network.
To ensure that this tyre changer works perfectly over the years, carry out the routine maintenance schedule
described below:
1.
Lubricate the following parts from time to time, after thorough cleaning with nafta:
The various swivels on the spindle
The tool bracket slide runner
The carriage guide plate
2.
Grease the spindle bracket lift cylinder from time to time and also its swivel. Add the grease through the grease
nipples (See picture F14.1) using ordinary lubricating grease.
N.B.: to reach the grease nipple on the bracket, remove the plastic cap by removing the two self‐tapping screws as
shown in picture F14.1.

3.
From time to time check the oil level in the hydraulic power pack. Use the dipstick under the reservoir cap. If
necessary top up with ESSO NUTO H46 or similar hydraulic oil (AGIP OSO 46, SHELL TELLUS Oil 46, MOBIL DTE
25, CASTROL HYSPIN AWS 46, CHEVRON RPM EP Hydraulic oil 46, BP ENERGOL HLP).
4.
From time to time check the oil level in the gear unit which, when the tool carrier brackets is completely lowered
at end travel, should not show the sight glass on the gear casing as completely empty. If necessary top up with
ESSO SPARTAN EP320 or similar oil (eg: AGIP F1 REP 237, BP GRX P320, CHEVRON GEAR COMPOUND 320, MOBIL
GEAR 632, SHELL OMALA OIL 320, CASTROL ALPHA SP 320).
N.B.: if the oil in the gear unit or the hydraulic power pack has to be changed, note that the gear unit casing and the
power pack reservoir have specific drain plugs.
5.
Periodically check the horizontal carriage; play between the guides and slide shoes (5, picture F14.2) must be
evident.
N.B.: there may be some slight mechanical play at the tool‐holder arm during assembly and disassembly operations.
For longer component working life, it is advisable to adjust the slide shoes as described below:
