How To Maintain The Tire ChangerHow To Maintain The Tire Changer

The tire changer is essential equipment for installing and removing automobile tires. It can accommodate different vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, and heavy trucks. This equipment is indispensable for auto repair shops and 4S shops. There are two main types: pneumatic and hydraulic, with pneumatic being the most commonly used. Now, let’s delve into some methods and techniques for the daily maintenance of tire changers. I hope this will be beneficial to you.

 Proper Operation

Maintenance work should be performed only by professional personnel. Before undertaking any maintenance on the tire changer, turn off the power supply and keep the power plug within the maintenance personnel’s monitoring range. Additionally, turn off the air source, push the gas switch to the off position, depress the cylinder pedal, twist the clamping cylinder control handle, and release the remaining compressed air from the machine. To ensure the correct use and prolong the tire changer’s service life, regular maintenance according to the instructions is necessary. Failure to do so can affect the machine’s operation and reliability, posing potential harm to the operator or nearby individuals.

Routine Inspection

The tire changer should undergo maintenance at least once a month. Check the oil level in the oil mist’s oil cup. If refueling is necessary, first cut off the air source, unscrew the oil cup manually, and fill it with pneumatic mineral oil SAE30. Clean all moving parts and apply lubricating oil. Periodically inspect and tighten the bolts on all connecting parts. Ensure the hexagon vertical or square shaft is clean and greased. Check the drive belt’s tension, adjusting the nut to tighten it when needed. Keep the machinery and working area clean to prevent dust from entering moving parts. Weekly, lubricate joint surfaces and friction points with lithium-based oil. An oil-water separator should be installed at the air compressor to reduce the water content in the compressed air passing through the machine.

Summary

Before performing maintenance on the tire changer, disconnect the power and air supply. At the end of each day, thoroughly wipe the machine and frequently lubricate the sliding and transfer parts. Regularly check the gas-water separator and oil mist. Drain excess water and replace insufficient oil (using spindle oil 20 or 30). Ensure that enough lubricating oil (No. 20 mechanical oil) is visible in the decelerator box through the oil window. Open the plastic cover in the center of the workbench and refuel through the bolt hole by unscrewing the bolt.
