IMPORTANT! If the tyre is tubeless, mount it with the valve at 180° from the tool arm.
6) Now depress the pedal (1, Fig. L) to begin clockwise rotation. Utilize the wheel's drop-centre area by pushing down on the sidewall nearly
opposite the head to reduce tensional force on the bead as the wheel rotates.
7) Insert the inner tube if the tyre has one.
8) Once the lower bead is completely mounted, repeat the previous procedures for the upper bead. When the tyre is mounted, depress pedal
(7, Fig. L) to move the tower (11, Fig. L) to its non-work position.
9) Depress pedal (5, Fig. L) to release the wheel from the table top.
N.B. Demounting and mounting are always done with the table top rotating clockwise. Anticlockwise rotation is used only to correct
operator errors or if the table top stalls.
SPECIAL WHEELS
When equipped with special optional accessories, the S 45 Basic is able to work on special wheels: PAX SYSTEM (with PT+KPX), SR
Support Ring (with PT+KSR) and Run Flat, low profile and UHP (with PT).
The correct working procedures for these wheels are described in the instruction manuals provided with the specific accessories.
DANGER!!
Tyre inflation is dangerous.
Follow carefully all the cautions and instructions given.
A WHEEL CAN EXPLODE IF:
1) the diameter of the rim is not exactly the same at the tyre's.
2) the rim or tyre are defective.
3) if the maximum recommended pressure is exceeded during bead seating.
4) the tyre is inflated to a pressure higher than the maximum recommended by the manufacturer.
5) the operator does not observe the requisite safety regulations.
S 45 Basic
IMPORTANT: All the operations described in this section refer to machines equipped with an inflation gun.
Follow these steps:
1) Remove the valve stem.
2) Clip the valve onto the inflator chuck making sure it is properly connected.
10.5 BEAD SEATING AND INFLATING
DANGER!!
Tyre or rim failure under pressure is hazardous and any resulting explosion can propel the
tyre upward and outward with sufficient energy to cause serious injury or death to operator or
bystander.
Though this tyre changer is equipped with a pressure limiter set at 3.5 bar (50 Psi), it is not
intended to be a safety device to contain exploding tyres, tubes, rims or bead sealing
equipment and, hence, does not eliminate the risk of and damage from any such explosion.
