General safety rules
Only properly trained and authorized personnel
shall be allowed to operate the tyre changer.
Unauthorized changes and modifications to
the machine relieve the manufacturer from any
liability for damages and injuries that might result
therefrom and cancel the EC Declaration given.
The machine must not be used except for the
scope of application and in the way specified in this
manual.
When fitting tyres on rims, make sure they fit
properly in size (identical nominal diameter); this
means for example no tyres of nominal size in mm
on rims of nominal size in inches and vice versa.
Always observe the applicable national guidelines
when demounting, mounting or inflating tyres
(eg WdK Guidelines; Wirtschaftsverband der
deutschen Kautschukindustrie).
If troubles occur during operation of the machine,
disconnect the machine from all energy supplies
prior to remedy of the trouble.
In general any work on the electrical system such
as fitting of a plug or changing of connections,
if necessary, must be carried out by a qualified
electrician in line with relevant national standards
and the regulations of the local power station.
In general, it should be noted that working with
technical equipment may involve unforeseen
residual risks. Therefore, various self-explanatory
warning labels (yellow/black triangle) are fitted on
the tyre changer.
These warning labels warn the operator against
residual risks, calling for his special attention so as
to prevent any injuries, accidents or damage.
In general the operator should eliminate these risks
in advance by proper and wise behaviour.
In this, the following special points should be
observed:
• Always use suitable and proper equipment and
tools.
• Wear suitable protective clothing and use
suitable protection (e.g. safety goggles, ear
plugs, safety boots etc.).
• Strictly follow the instructions, notes and
technical data of the machine manufacturer or
manufacturer of the product to be handled.
For further safety rules to be observed, please refer
to the individual chapters.
