Preliminary Checks; Deciding From Which Side Of The Wheel The Tyre Must Be; Demounted - Mondolfo Ferro AQUILA ALLIANCE Manual De Uso

6.1. PRELIMINARY CHECKS

Check that there is a pressure of at least 8 bar on the Filter Regulator pressure gauge.
If the pressure is lower, the operation of some automatic procedures is not guaranteed.
After the correct pressure has been restored, the machine will function properly.
Check that the machine has been adequately connected to the power mains.
6.2. DECIDING FROM WHICH SIDE
OF THE WHEEL THE TYRE MUST BE

DEMOUNTED

See Fig. 13. Find the position of rim well A on the wheel
rim. Find the largest width B and the smallest width C.
The tyre must be mounted and demounted with the
wheel on the turntable with the smallest width side
C facing upwards.
Special wheels
Alloy rim wheels: some alloy rim wheels have minimal
rim wells A or no rim wells at all - Fig. 13a. These rims
are not approved by DOT (Department of Transporta-
tion) standards.
The initials DOT certify that tyres comply with the safety
standards adopted by the United States and Canada
(these wheels cannot be sold on these markets).
High-performance wheels (asymmetric curvature) -
Fig. 13-b: Some European wheels have rims with a very
pronounced curvature C, except in the area of the valve
hole A where the curvature is less pronounced B. On
these wheels the bead must first be broken in the area
of the valve hole, on both the top and bottom sides.
Wheels with pressure sensor - Fig.13c. To operate cor-
rectly on these wheels and avoid damaging the sensor
(which is incorporated in the valve, fixed with the belt, glued
inside the tyre, etc.) appropriate mounting/demounting
procedures should be followed (ref. Approved mounting/
demounting procedure for runflat and UHP tyres)
See the section "TABLE FOR USING CENTRING AND CLAMPING ACCESSORIES
ACCORDING TO RIM TYPE" in this manual.
