- Position the operating arms in the “non-working” position (tool at the top and the horizontal
arm completely retracted).
- Turntable jaws opening and closing is carried
out by sequentially pressing the control pedal
(Fig. 18).
- With the jaws completely closed, lightly press
the control pedal
and move it to the
central position (Fig. 18).
In this conguration, it is possible to carry out
dead-man control of jaws opening and then stop them in the desired position.
- If the rim is blocked from the outside (Fig. 19a), pre-position the locking wedges using the
references of the diameters shown on the turntable and the notch on the jaw (Fig. 19b).
E.g.: Rim 18”, pre-position the jaws making the notch match with value 18”.
- If the rim is blocked from the inside (Fig. 19c), it is not necessary to pre-position the locking
wedges. The very shape of the wedge brings the rim to be locked into the correct position.
- Place the wheel (with the narrow shoulder of the rim facing up) on the turntable,
- Push it slightly downwards and operate the control pedal to lock the wheel in position
(g.20).
