How to use tires machine and calibrate the machine?

Using a Tires Machine

  1. Preparation:

    • Ensure the machine is on a stable, level surface.
    • Check that all safety guards and shields are in place.
    • Wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves and eye protection.

  2. Mounting the Tire:

    • Place the wheel on the turntable, ensuring it is centered.
    • Secure the wheel using the clamps or jaws provided.
    • Use the bead breaker to loosen the tire bead from the rim.
    • Position the mounting head over the tire and lower it to engage the tire bead.
    • Use the mounting arm to push the tire bead over the rim.

  3. Inflating the Tire:

    • Connect the air hose to the valve stem.
    • Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure.
    • Check for any leaks or issues with the seal.

  4. Balancing the Tire:

    • If the machine has a balancing feature, follow the on-screen instructions to balance the tire.
    • Add weights as needed to achieve proper balance.

Calibrating the Tire Machine

  1. Initial Setup:

    • Ensure the machine is turned off and unplugged.
    • Remove any debris or obstructions from the machine.

  2. Checking Alignment:

    • Use a level to ensure the turntable is perfectly horizontal.
    • Adjust the machine's feet or leveling screws as needed.

  3. Calibrating the Mounting Head:

    • Place a calibration wheel on the turntable.
    • Secure the wheel and ensure it is centered.
    • Lower the mounting head and adjust it so that it is perfectly aligned with the center of the wheel.

  4. Calibrating the Bead Breaker:

    • Position the bead breaker over the calibration wheel.
    • Adjust the bead breaker so that it makes contact with the tire bead at the correct angle and depth.

  5. Testing the Calibration:

    • Mount and inflate a tire using the calibrated settings.
    • Check for any issues with the mounting process.
    • Make any necessary adjustments to the calibration.

  6. Final Checks:

    • Ensure all safety features are functioning correctly.
    • Test the machine with a few more tires to confirm the calibration is accurate.

By following these steps, you should be able to use and calibrate your tires machine effectively. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific details about your particular model.
