1.3. SPECIAL RIM/TYRE CONSIDERATIONS

Wheels equipped with low tyre pressure sensors or special tyre and rim designs may require
special procedures. Consult wheels and tyre manufacturers' service manuals.

1.4. INTENDED USE OF THE MACHINE

This machine must be used only to remove and replace an automotive tyre on an automo-
tive rim, using the tools with which it is equipped. Any other use is improper and can result
in an accident.
The machine can not work on motorcycle wheels.

1.5. EMPLOYEE TRAINING

1. The employer is obligated to provide a programme to train all employees who service rim
wheels in the hazards involved in servicing those rim wheels and the safety procedures to be
followed. Service or servicing means the mounting and demounting of rim wheels, and related
activities such as inflating, deflating, installing, removing and handling.
• The employer shall insure that no employee services any rim wheel unless the employee
has been trained and instructed in correct procedures of servicing the type of wheel being
serviced, and in safe operating procedures.
• Information to be used in the training programme shall include, at a minimum, the applicable
information contained in this manual.
2. The employer shall ensure that each employee demonstrates and maintains the ability to
service rim wheels safely, including performance of the following tasks:
• Demounting tyres (including deflation).
• Inspecting and identifying rim wheel components.
• Mounting tyres.
• Using any restraining device, cage, barrier, or other installation.
• Handling rim wheels.
• Inflating the tyre.
• Understanding the necessity to stand back from the tyre changer during tyre inflation and
during inspection of the rim wheel following inflation, never leaning over.
• Installing and removing rim wheels.
3. The employer shall evaluate each employee's ability to perform these tasks and to service
rim wheels safely, and shall provide additional training as necessary to assure that each em-
ployee maintains his or her proficiency.

1.6. PRE-USE CHECKS

Before beginning work, carefully check that all components of the machine, especially rub-
ber or plastic parts, are in place, in good condition and working properly. If the inspection
