6. Keep a safe distance from the tyre changer dur-
ing inflation, in order to remain outside the vertical
cylinder area occupied by the wheel. Do not ap-
proach it.
A bursting tyre can cause projections of its parts in surrounding areas with a
force sufficient to cause serious injury or death.
Do not mount a tyre if its dimensions (indicated on the side) do not correspond
exactly to the rim dimensions (printed inside the rim) or if the rim or the tyre is
defective or damaged.
Never exceed the pressure recommended by the tyre manufacturer.
The tyre changer is not a safety device and does not prevent tyres and rims from
exploding. Keep all persons not working on the machine out of the working area.
7. Risk of crushing. Presence of moving parts. Contact with moving parts
can cause accidents.
The machine can only be used by one operator at a time.
• Keep bystanders away from the tyre changer.
• Keep your hands and fingers away from the rim edge during the demount-
ing and mounting process.
• Keep hands and fingers clear of mount/demount head during operation.
• Keep your hands and other body parts away from moving parts.
• Do not use tools other than those supplied with tyre changer.
• Use lubricant that is specific for tyres in order to prevent tyre seizure.
• Pay attention while handling the rim or the tyre and while using the lever
8. Danger of electric shock.
• Do not clean electric parts with water or high pressure air jets.
• Do not operate the machine in the presence of a damaged electrical cable.
• If an extension is necessary, use a cable with rated features equal to or greater than
those of the machine. Cables with rated features that are lower than those of the machine
could overheat and cause a fire.
• Make sure that the cable is positioned so that it cannot be pulled and the risk of trip-
ping is avoided.
9. Risk of eye injuries. During the bead insertion and inflation phase, debris,
dust and fluids could be projected into the air. Remove any debris present
on the tyre tread and on the tyre surface. Wear protective goggles with
OSHA, CE approval or other certified devices during all work phases.
10. Always carefully inspect the machine before using it. Missing, dam-
aged or worn equipment (including the hazard adhesive labels) must be
repaired or replaced before start-up.
