The tire changer is designed for use with the wheels
mentioned previously. It operates according to preset
parameters that guarantee the smooth running and
perfect repeatability of all operations.
For the operations to be perfectly successful the ope-
rator must set the controls correctly and supervise the
entire work cycle.
The Semi-Automatic operation is therefore the main
feature of the tire changer.
WARNING:
USING THE MACHINE IN "MANUAL MODE" OR
"SEMI-AUTOMATIC" OR INCORRECTLY MAY
DAMAGE THE TIRES, RIMS AND THE MACHINE
ITSELF.
WARNING:
USING THE MACHINE IN "MANUAL MODE" OR
