Shipping Information
Your equipment was carefully checked before shipping. Nevertheless, you should thoroughly inspect
the shipment before you sign to acknowledge that you received it.
When you sign the bill of lading, it tells the carrier that the items on the invoice were received in good
condition. Do not sign the bill of lading until after you have inspected the shipment. If any of the
items listed on the bill of lading are missing or damaged, do not accept the shipment until the carrier
makes a notation on the bill of lading that lists the missing or damaged goods.
If you discover missing or damaged goods after you receive the shipment and have signed the bill of
lading, notify the carrier at once and request the carrier to make an inspection. If the carrier will not
make an inspection, prepare a signed statement to the effect that you have notified the carrier (on a
specific date) and that the carrier has failed to comply with your request.
It is difficult to collect for loss or damage after you have given the carrier a signed bill of lading. If this
happens to you, file a claim with the carrier promptly. Support your claim with copies of the bill of
lading, freight bill, invoice, and photographs, if available. Our willingness to assist in helping you
process your claim does not make us responsible for collection of claims or replacement of lost or
damaged materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What does a Tire Changer do?
Answer: A Tire Changer takes Tires off of Wheels (called demounting) and puts Tires onto Wheels
(called mounting).
Q: What is the difference between a Tire, Wheel, and Rim?
A: A Wheel is the round metal piece that attaches to the Vehicle’s axle. A Tire is the round rubber
piece that surrounds the Wheel. The outer edge of the Wheel, where the Tire attaches to the
Wheel, is called the Rim. Some people use Wheel and Rim interchangeably.
Q: What are the steps in the process of demounting a Tire and then mounting a new Tire?
A: The steps are: Deflate the Tire, break the Bead, secure the Wheel on the Turntable, demount the
Tire, mount the new Tire, inflate the new Tire, then remove the Wheel from the Turntable.
Q: What does “break the Bead” mean?
A: A Tire is held on the Rim of a Wheel by the Tire Bead sitting between the Rim Lip and the Bead
Retainer of the Rim. The air pressure in the Tire holds it in place once the Bead is seated (during
mounting). When you “break the Bead”, you move the Tire Bead out of the location where it was
seated, which is required to take the Tire off of the Wheel.
Q: Can I break the Bead without fully deflating the Tire?
A: No, do not do this. Always fully deflate a Tire before attempting to break its Bead.
The air pressure energy in a Tire, even if not fully inflated, can be considerable. If you were to
attempt to break the Bead of a Tire not fully deflated, that air pressure energy would be released
all at once, possibly injuring or, in rare cases, killing the Operator or bystanders.
Q: What thing should I always do when working with the Tire Changer?
A: You must match Rim Width with the Tire you are mounting. The result of a mismatch is that the
Tire could literally explode off the Wheel when you inflate it or while the Vehicle is being driven. In
both cases, people could be injured or killed.
Q: Where should I put my Tire Changer?
A: What you want is a flat Concrete floor with room around it that is also near where you work on
Tires. Ideally, you want it a little off the beaten path, as you must – for safety – keep everyone
away from the Tire Changer while it is in use. No one other than the Operator should be within 30
feet of the Tire Changer while it is in use.
Q: Why isn’t there a plug on the end of the Power Cord?
A: 220 VAC plugs vary by region, so if you are going to use a Power Cord with Plug, you need to
use a Plug that is appropriate for the power outlet you will be using. The other power option is to
wire the Tire Changer directly into the facility’s power system. You must have a licensed
Electrician perform all electrical work in accordance with all applicable electrical codes.

110 VAC units are prewired with a plug.

Installation
This section describes how to install your Tire Changer. Perform the tasks in the order presented.

Installation Safety Rules

Pay attention at all times during installation. Use appropriate tools and equipment. Stay
clear of moving parts. Keep hands and fingers away from pinch points. Safety is your top priority.
Use caution when unpacking the Tire Changer from its shipping container and setting it up. The Tire
Changer is heavy, and the weight is not evenly distributed; dropping or knocking over the unit may
cause equipment damage and personal injury.

⚠ WARNING You must wear OSHA-approved (publication 3151) personal protective equipment
at all times when installing, using, maintaining, or repairing the Tire Changer: leather
gloves, steel-toed work boots, eye protection, back belts, and hearing protection.
Only experienced, trained technicians may install the Tire Changer. In particular, all electrical work
must be done by a licensed, certified Electrician.

⚠ CAUTION Certain parts of installing the Tire Changer are difficult for just one person. BendPak
Ranger strongly recommends having two or more persons work together to install
the unit.

Tools
You may need some or all of the following tools:
• Forklift, pallet jack, or shop crane
• Utility knife
• Hammer, mallet, crowbar, or pry bar
• Tin or sheet metal snips
• Hex key and wrench set, metric, and SAE
• Screwdriver set, slot and Phillips

Additional supplies you may need:

• Teflon Tape or liquid PTFE thread sealant
• Anchor Bolts (Optional)
• Air fitting (Air In) to connect the Tire Changer to the shop compressed air supply.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 11 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 Finding a Location
Keep the following in mind when deciding on a location:
• Power source. The Tire Changer needs to be near an appropriate power source.
• Floor. The Tire Changer is best used on a flat, Concrete floor.
• Clearance. The Tire Changer requires space around it. Refer to Clearance for more
information.
• Accessibility. You need some space to move the Wheels and Tires to and from the Tire
Changer.
• Danger. When a Tire is on the Tire Changer, especially during Inflation, you need to keep
everyone far away from it; only the Operator should be within 30 feet of the Tire Changer when it is
in use.
Do not set up the Tire Changer in a well-travelled area.
• No water. The Tire Changer has electrical components. If the Tire Changer gets wet while power
is applied, those electronic components will most likely short circuit and have to be replaced.

⚠ WARNING Do not use the Tire Changer if it is sitting in water. You will almost certainly short
circuit the electronic components in the Tire Changer and you could electrocute
yourself or bystanders.

Clearance
A certain amount of space around the Tire Changer is required.
You also need room above the Tire Changer. BendPak Ranger recommends leaving at least an
additional 12 inches / 305 mm of open space above the highest point of the Tire Changer.

⚠ WARNING The Clearance values shown below allow enough space to operate the Tire
Changer. For safety purposes, only the Operator should be within 30
feet of the Tire Changer while it is in use.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 12 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 Unpacking
Use caution when taking the Tire Changer out of its shipping container. You do not
want to damage the unit, misplace any of the components, or cause injury.

⚠ WARNING Make sure to use an appropriate lifting device, such as a Forklift or Pallet Jack, to
move the Tire Changer while it is on its Pallet. Make sure only personnel who are
experienced with material handling procedures are allowed to move the Tire
Changer. The Tire Changer is heavy, and the weight is not evenly distributed;
dropping or knocking over the unit may cause equipment damage or personal
injury. BendPak Ranger recommends having at least two people work together to
move the Tire Changer.
We recommend unpacking the Tire Changer near where you are going to set it up.

⚠ WARNING You must wear OSHA-approved (publication 3151) Personal Protective Equipment
at all times when installing the Lift: leather gloves, steel-toed boots, eye protection, back belts, and
hearing protection are mandatory.
To Unpack the Tire Changer:
1. The Tire Changer is attached to a pallet and
protected with a thin wood cover. At the bottom
of the cover, use a pry bar or screwdriver to push
the metal tabs all the way down, on all four sides.
You may have to apply some force to get all the
metal tabs free; they sometimes stick. Refer to the
figure on the right.
2. Rotate the cover off and set aside.

⚠ CAUTION Ranger recommends having at

least two people lift the cover off; it
is heavy and awkward. If it is
dropped or falls, it could cause
injury or equipment damage.
3. Carefully remove the plastic protecting the Tire
Changer and retain any parts located in bubble wrap or plastic bags
4. Remove the Accessory and Fasteners boxes, Bead Breaker Blade, and Turbo Blast Hose. Set
aside where they will not be damaged.

The Regulator / Filter removes contaminants from the incoming air. It also includes a gauge that
shows the operating air pressure of the incoming air. If you see water in the Water Sight Gauge, you
can drain it using the Water Drain Plug. Refer to Maintenance for more information.
The Oiler / Lubricator puts pneumatic oil, for lubrication, into the incoming air. This lubricated air is
routed to pneumatic components of the Tire Changer.

 Anchoring the Tire Changer
The Tire Changer has openings in the base for anchoring it into place; anchoring is optional.
Note: You are not required to anchor your Tire Changer. BendPak Ranger recommends doing
so, as the Tire Changer uses force at various times during the changing of a Tire.
Anchoring it ensures it will not move during operation.
The three .5 in / 12.7 mm holes for anchoring are located at:
• Front right
• Front left
• Rear right (under
the Regulator/Filter)

Top view. Not to scale.

The Anchor Bolts (sometimes called Wedge Anchors) mentioned in the following procedure are not
supplied with the Tire Changer. You could, for example, use 3/8 in. by 3 in. Anchor Bolts to secure the
Tire Changer, drilling the hole approximately 2.5 in / 63.5 mm deep into the Concrete.
To anchor the Tire Changer:
1. Verify the Tire Changer is in the desired location.
2. Using the holes as guides, drill the holes for the Anchor Bolts.

⚠ WARNING You must wear OSHA-approved (publication 3151) Personal Protective Equipment
at all times when installing the Lift: leather gloves, steel-toed boots, eye protection,
back belts, and hearing protection are mandatory.

Go in straight; do not let the drill wobble. Use a carbide-tied drill bit (conforming to ANSI B212.15).
Use a drill bit that is the same diameter as the Anchor Bolt. So, if you are using a 3/8 in diameter
Anchor Bolt, for example, use a 3/8 in diameter drill bit.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 20 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 3. Vacuum each hole clean.
BendPak recommends using a wire brush and a vacuum to get the hole very clean.
Do not ream the hole. Do not make the hole any wider than the drill bit made it.

⚠ WARNING You must wear safety glasses when clearing debris from the anchor holes.
4. Make sure the Washer and Nut are in place, then insert the Anchor Bolt into the hole.
The Expansion Sleeve of the Anchor Bolt may prevent the Anchor Bolt from passing through the
hole in the base of the Tire Changer; this is normal. Use a hammer or mallet to carefully tap the
Expansion Sleeve through the base and down into the hole.

Even using a hammer or mallet, the Anchor Bolt should only go into the hole part of the way; this is
normal. If the Anchor Bolt goes in with little or no resistance, the hole is too wide.
Once past the hole in the base, the Anchor Bolt eventually stops going down into the hole as the
Expansion Sleeve contacts the sides of the hole; this is normal.
5. Hammer or mallet the Anchor Bolt the rest of the way down into the hole.
Stop when the Washer is snug against the base of the Tire Changer.
6. Use a torque wrench to tighten each Nut clockwise to the torque recommended by the
manufacturer of the Anchor Bolt.
If no torque is specified, BendPak Ranger recommends ~55 lbf-ft / 74 N-m for a 3/8 in diameter
Anchor Bolt.
Important: Do not use an impact wrench to torque the Anchor Bolts.
Wrenching the Nut forces the Wedge up, forcing out the Expansion Sleeve and pressing it tightly
against the Concrete.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 21 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 Connecting to Power
The R980AT-L Tire Changer must be connected to a 110 VAC power source on a dedicated 20
Amp circuit. The 110 VAC Unit’s power cord is prewired with a plug.
The R980AT and R980XR Tire Changers must be connected to a 208-240 VAC power source, on a
dedicated 20 Amp circuit.
A Power Cord with no Plug on the end is provided with the 220 VAC unit. You must have a licensed,
certified Electrician either:
• Wire the R980AT or the R980XR Power Cord to an appropriate 208-240 VAC NEMA, 30 Amp
Plug, which is then plugged in to an appropriate power outlet.
or
• Wire the Tire Changer directly into the facility’s electrical system protected by an appropriate circuit
breaker.
Important: The Tire Changer uses pneumatic and electrical energy; if your organization has
Lockout/Tagout policies, implement them once the unit is connected to a power
source.
Refer to Wiring Information for additional wiring information.

⚠ DANGER All electrical work must be performed by a licensed, certified Electrician in

accordance with all local, state and National Electrical Codes (NEC). If you do not use a
licensed, certified Electrician, you void your warranty and put everyone who uses the
Tire Changer in danger of injury or, in rare cases, death.
Additional electrical information:
• Operation with no Ground can damage electronics and could create a shock hazard. You must
ground the unit.
• Damage caused by improper electrical installation voids the warranty.
• The Tire Changer uses pneumatic and electrical energy; if your organization has Lockout/Tagout
policies, make sure to implement them after connecting the unit to the power source.
• Make sure that adequate wire sizes are used, service is of adequate amperage rating, the supply
line has the same electrical characteristics (voltage, cycle, and phase) as the motor, and that no
other equipment is operated on the same circuit.
• Electrical codes in your area may require “hard-wiring” if the machine is anchored to the floor.
Consult a licensed Electrician regarding the applicable codes for your location.

⚠ WARNING Disconnect power and air pressure before performing any

troubleshooting or maintenance. Make sure the unit cannot be reenergized
until you are done. This equipment has internal arcing or sparking parts that should
not be exposed to flammable vapors. The unit must not be located in a recessed
area or below floor level.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 22 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 Prepare the Lube Bucket
The Tire Changer comes with a Lube Bucket (to hold your Lube) and a Lube Brush (to apply your Tire
Lube).
BendPak Ranger does not include any Tire Lube with the Tire Changer, as there are many options
available.

⚠ CAUTION Only use Tire Lube that is approved by the Tire manufacturer for the Tire you are
changing. Using non-approved Lube could corrode the Wheel or cause Tire/Wheel
slippage and vibration issues.
Be sure to use enough lubricant without using too much. The point of lubricant is to temporarily
reduce the friction between the Tire Bead area and the Rim. What you are looking for is a lubricant that
is slippery when wet but not slippery once dried. If you notice excessive amounts of lubricant on the
Tire or Rim, remove the excess.
There is a location on the Tire Changer for the Lube Bucket: between the Bead Breaker and the
Turntable.

Top view. Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 23 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 Grease the Assist Tower Post
The Assist Tower Post (R980AT only) needs to be greased as detailed below so the Assist Tower Arms
can easily slide up and down.
The Tire Changer comes from the factory with the Assist Tower Post already greased. Re-grease the
Post as required.
BendPak Ranger recommends a lithium-based grease that includes molybdenum and graphite. For
example, Extreme Pressure Moly-Graph® Multi-Purpose Grease from CRC/Sat-Lube®.

⚠ CAUTION The lithium-based grease recommended for the Assist Tower Post is not a Tire
lubricant. Do not use it to lube Tires. Once the Assist Tower Post is greased, try not
to lean on it or touch it.

Side view. Not to scale. Not all components shown.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 24 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 Test the Tire Changer
Make sure the following items have been done before putting the Tire Changer into normal operation:
• Check for pneumatic (air) pressure. The Tire Changer requires pneumatic energy to
perform certain functions.
To see if the Tire Changer has air pressure, take the Air Chuck, and lightly step on and hold down
the Inflation Foot Pedal. If air comes out, the Air Source is connected and working.
• Test the power source. Other Tire Changer functions require electric power. Step on and hold
down the Turntable Foot Pedal to check for electric power. If the Turntable turns, you have power.
• Make sure there is Tire lubricant available. Your shop probably has a brand of Lube that
it prefers. Make sure some is in the Lube Bucket on the Tire Changer. Always use Lube; it makes
changing Tires easier and helps prevent damage to the Tire and the Wheel.
• Test the Tool Arms. Manually move each Tool Arm separately from side to side. Use the Assist
Tower Controls to raise and lower the Tool Arms (they move up and down together). If the Tool
Arms can do these things, they are working correctly.
• Change some non-customer Tires. To get used to the Tire Changer, BendPak Ranger
recommends have all potential Operators change some non-customer Tires before putting the
Tire Changer into normal operation.

Final Checklist before Operation

Do the following things before putting your Tire Changer into normal operation:
• Review the Installation Checklist to make sure all steps have been performed.
• Verify the Tire Changer is getting electric and pneumatic power.
• Check to see that all Anchor Bolts are in position and tightened if you installed them.
• Make sure the Tire Changer has been used to change some non-customer Tires.
• Leave the Manual with the owner/operator.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 25 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

Operation
This section describes how to use your Tire Changer.
It describes the main components involved in demounting and mounting Tires, followed by the
necessary procedures.

⚠ DANGER Being in close proximity to a Tire Changer is a serious endeavor with potentially life-
threatening risks. Only trained, authorized, supervised personnel may be within 30
feet of the Tire Changer while it is in use. Do not assume you are going to be
safe using the Tire Changer this time just because nothing
happened last time.

Usage Precautions
Keep the following in mind while you use your Tire Changer:
• Make sure all employees receive specific training in Tire demounting and mounting before they
are allowed to use the Tire Changer, that their training is verified through a testing program, and
that all training is documented. All others, including children and untrained personnel, must be kept
at least 30 feet away from the Tire Changer while it is in use.
• Make sure new employees are trained and supervised in the performance of their duties.
• Never perform any service on an inflated Tire; always fully deflate the Tire by removing the Valve
Core and letting the air escape before beginning work.
• Never mount or change damaged Tires or Wheels.
• When mounting Tires, identify the maximum allowed inflation pressure; it should be on the sidewall
of the Tire. Do not exceed the maximum allowed inflation pressure of the Tire.
• Make sure the Tire is restrained for inflation: either internally clamped, held down by the
Centering/Inflation Tool, or in a Tire Inflation Cage (such as the RIC-4716 4-Bar Tire Inflation
Cage from BendPak Ranger). Do not inflate a Tire if it is externally clamped; external clamping
interferes with inflation.
• When using the Tire Changer, be careful of your hands; there are multiple pinch point dangers on
the unit. Do not rest your hands on any part of the Tire Changer while using it.

⚠ WARNING The Air Chuck has a self-gripping clip so that you can clip it on when inflating a Tire,
which means you do not have to hold it in place during inflation. Do not hold the
Air Chuck while you are inflating a Tire. This leaves you very close to the
Tire, which could result in injury if there were a problem during the inflation. Instead,
clip the Air Chuck into position, move away from the Tire, then press and hold
down the Inflation Foot Pedal.
• You must wear OSHA-approved (publication 3151) personal protective equipment at all times
when installing, using, maintaining, or repairing the Tire Changer. Leather gloves, steel-toed work
boots, eye protection, back belts, and hearing protection are mandatory.
• When using the Tire Changer, the operator must wear ANSI-approved eye protection at all times:
safety glasses, a face shield, or protective goggles.

⚠ WARNING Always wear ANSI-approved eye protection. An accident could cause significant
injuries to your eyes.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 26 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 • The Tire Changer may work differently than other Tire Changers you have used. BendPak Ranger
recommends practicing with non-customer Tires to get familiar with how the product works before
starting work on customer Tires.
• Keep the work area clean and well lit. Dirty, cluttered, and dark work areas increase the chances of
an accident happening.
• Do not access the inside of the unit unless instructed to do so by BendPak Ranger Support.

⚠ WARNING Be especially careful when inflating Tires. This is a dangerous time when using a
Tire Changer. If the Tire and Wheel are mismatched or there is a defect in the Tire, it
could explode, injuring or killing the Operator or bystanders. Do not lean over
the Tire when inflating a Tire. Move away from the Tire during inflation.
• Do not use the Tire Changer in a wet environment or expose it to rain or excess moisture.
• If you need to use an extension cord to get power to the unit, use one with a current rating equal
to or greater than that of the Tire Changer. Cords rated for less current than the Tire Changer
could overheat. If used, arrange the extension cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled out.
• Do not use anything flammable on the Beads or Rims as lubrication; instead, use non-flammable
vegetable or soap-based rubber lubricant.
• Do not use the Tire Changer in the vicinity of open containers of flammable liquids.
• Clean the unit according to the instructions in Maintenance.
• Read the entire Installation and Operation Manual before using the Tire Changer.
• Make a visual inspection of the Tire Changer before each use. Do not operate the Tire Changer
if you find any issues. Instead, take it out of service, then contact your dealer, visit
[Link]/support/, or call BendPak Ranger at (805) 933-9970.

 Turntable
The Turntable is where you the Wheel and Tire is clamped to be dismounting or mounting.

Top and side views. Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown.
There are several important things to know about the Turntable:
• Flat, steel piece. This is the actual Turntable. It holds the other components. It can rotate either
clockwise or counterclockwise.
To rotate the Turntable clockwise: Press down on the Turntable Foot Pedal.
To rotate the Turntable counterclockwise: Press up on the Turntable Foot Pedal.
• Clamp Mechanism. Each Clamp mechanism includes a Clamp and two Clamp Adjustment
Knobs. The Clamp Mechanism moves in and out to clamp Wheels either externally or internally.
“External” and “Internal” clamping refer to the location of the Clamp in relation to the Wheel.

Side view. Some components exaggerated for clarity. Large arrows show direction Clamps are
pressing. Only one of the four Clamps shown. Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 28 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 As a general rule, you clamp steel Wheels internally (Clamps push out against Wheel) and custom
and mag Wheels externally (Clamps push in against outside Rim edge). Check with your supervisor
if you are unclear about which method to use for a particular set of Wheels.
To clamp externally: If necessary, use the Clamps Foot Pedal to move the Clamps all the way
out (they may be all the way out already), position the Wheel between the Clamps, then press
down on the Clamps Foot Pedal to move the Clamps in until the Wheel is being firmly held in
place.
To clamp internally: If necessary, use the Clamps Foot Pedal to move the Clamps all the way
in (they may be all the way in already), position the Wheel over the Clamps, then press down on
the Clamps Foot Pedal to move the Clamps out until the Wheel is being firmly held in place.
Note: The Clamps Foot Pedal works as follows: If the Clamps are in the middle of the
Turntable, pressing down and releasing the Clamps Foot Pedal moves them all the way
out. If the Clamps are all the way out, pressing down and releasing the Clamps Foot
Pedal moves them all the way back in.
• Clamp Adjustment Knobs. Move the Clamp between three different positions within the
Clamp Mechanism to accommodate Wheels of different sizes.

To move a Clamp: Pull out and hold out the Clamp Adjustment Knob closest to the direction
you want to move the Clamp, slide the Clamp in the desired direction, release the Clamp
Adjustment Knob. If you want to move the Clamp again in the same direction, repeat the same
procedure with the other Clamp Adjustment Knob. If the Clamp is in the center position, you can
only move the Clamp one position in either direction.

 Air Pressure Gauge
Shows the air pressure in Tires to which the Air Chuck is attached.
The components of the Air Pressure Gauge are:
• Gauge. Displays air pressure in the Tire to which the Air Chuck is attached.
• Pressure Relief Button. Removes air if a Tire gets overinflated.
• Cord. Extends and retracts so you can get the Air Chuck to the Valve Stem.
• Air Chuck. Attaches to the threads on the Valve Stem. Includes a self-gripping clip so you do
not have to hold the Air Chuck in place during inflation.

⚠ WARNING Do not hold the Air Chuck while you are inflating a Tire. This leaves you
close to the Tire, which could result in injury if there is a problem during inflation.
• Threads. Store the Air Chuck here using the self-gripping clip.

Front view. Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown.

To see the pressure in a Tire: Attach the Air Chuck to the Tire; the Air Gauge shows the air
pressure currently in the Tire. You do not need to press the Inflation Foot Pedal.

 Swing Arm
The Swing Arm holds the main Tire Changer Tool, the Mount/Demount Head. It swings out of the way
when you do not need it.

Front view. Swing Arm shown fully to the right. Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown.
The main parts of the Swing Arm are:
• Swing Arm. When facing forward, puts the Mount/Demount Head directly over the middle of the
Turntable. From that position, the Swing Arm can swing up to 90° to the right, which lets you get it
out of the way when desired.
• Swing Control. Limits how far the Swing Arm can move. Makes sure the Mount/Demount Head
cannot go past a point you control. Useful if you are going to be working on multiple Wheels that
are exactly the same size; move the Mount/Demount Head to the desired location, then adjust the
Swing Control so that the Swing Arm will return to this same position if moved out and then back.
• Mount/Demount Head. Attaches to the Bottom of the Shaft. The entire purpose of the Swing
Arm is to let you get the Mount/Demount Head to where you need it.
• Shaft. Moves the Mount/Demount Head up and down. Grab the Mount/Demount Head to move
the Shaft up and down. Do not grab the Shaft, it is greased.
• Shaft Lock Handle. Locks the Shaft in position when you get it to the right height. Locking the
Shaft moves it a very small amount up.
• Shaft Spring. Pushes the Shaft and the Mount/Demount Head back up when you release the
Shaft Lock Handle.
• Moving the Swing Arm. Grab the end of the Swing Arm below the Shaft Lock Handle and
above the Shaft to move the Swing Arm (location shown in the drawing above). Do not grab the
Shaft itself, as it is greased.

 Mount/Demount Heads
The Mount/Demount Head is the main tool on the Tire Changer for demounting and mounting Tires.
The Tire Changer comes with two Mount/Demount Heads:
• Alloy Steel. Lasts virtually forever. Silver in color. Includes plastic inserts on the inside to avoid
damaging Rims and a roller for extra mounting functionality.

Side view. Set Screws on other side. Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown.
• Plastic Polymer. Comes installed. Dark gray color. Non-marring surface will not scratch or
otherwise damage paint or powder coating on wheels.
The following drawing shows the Plastic Polymer Mount/Demount Head with the Demount and
Mount Lips identified. It also shows where the Tire Bead goes during demounting and mounting.

Side view. Set Screws on other side. Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown.
The Demount Lip and Mount Lip work as follows:
• During demounting. The Tire Bead goes over the Demount Lip and under the Mount Lip.
• During mounting. The Tire Bead goes over the Mount Lip and under the Demount Lip.
You can easily switch between the two Mount/Demount Heads using the two Set Screws and a 6 mm
hex wrench. Simply loosen the Set Screws, slide the Head down and off, replace it with the other one,
and tighten the Set Screws.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 33 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 Bead Breaker
Use the Bead Breaker to break the Beads (on both sides) of the Tires you are changing.

⚠ WARNING Do not break the Beads of a Tire until you are certain the Tire is fully
deflated. Breaking the Bead of a Tire with air still in it could injure you or others
nearby. The best way to be sure the Tire is fully deflated is to remove the Valve
Core and wait for all of the air to come out.

Top view. Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown.

⚠ WARNING There is a risk of crushing with the Bead Breaker. Do not hold onto the
Blade Handle when the Bead Breaker is moving. After positioning the Bead Breaker
Blade, move away from the Bead Breaker, and make sure the area is completely
clear, before pressing the Bead Breaker Foot Pedal.
The main parts of the Bead Breaker are:
• Bead Breaker Mechanism. Moves in and out under the control of the Bead Breaker Foot
Pedal. Moves with great force; make sure you are completely clear of the Blade and the Bead
Breaker Mechanism before pressing the Bead Breaker Foot Pedal.
• Blade. The part of the Bead Breaker that contacts the Tire and actually breaks the Bead.
• Blade Handle. Controls the Blade, moving it side to side and in and out.
• Pads. The side of the Tire whose Bead is not being broken goes against the Pads.
• Adjustment Pin. Allows you to accommodate Tires of different sizes by controlling the location
of the Blade.
To use the Adjustment Pin: remove it from its current location, slide the metal piece holding
the Blade to the other location, replace the Adjustment Pin.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 34 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 • Adjustment Rod. Allows you to accommodate Tires of different sizes by controlling the location
of the Bead Breaker Mechanism.
When the Adjustment Rod is in the In locking position, the Bead Breaker Mechanism can come
out further, accommodating larger Tire sizes.
To use the Adjustment Rod: Grasp the end of the rod, then move the outside of the rod from
its current locking position to the other locking position.

One side view, one top view. Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown.

Bead Lifting Tool

Use the Bead Lifting Tool to pull the Tire’s Bead up and over the Mount/Demount Tool to help
demount the Tire.
You can also use the Bead Lifting Tool to push down the Tire’s Bead — to the left of the
Mount/Demount Head — during the mounting of a Tire.
The Bead Lifting Tool has an angled and a hooked end. You can use either end.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 35 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 Assist Tower
The Assist Tower holds three Tools that make it easier to dismount, mount, and inflate Tires. These
Tools are on two arms: the Upper Assist Arm and the Lower Assist Arm.
Important: The R980XR does not have an Assist Tower or the Tools on it. An Assist Tower is
available for the R980XR as an option. Order from the BendPak Ranger
website, or call (805) 933-9970.
The two Assist Tower Arms move up and down as a unit but move side to side independently.
The components of the Assist Tower are:
• Controls. Moves the two Assist Tower Arms up and down together.
• Upper Assist Arm. Holds two Tools and the Controls.
The two Tools are:
– Restraint Cone. Used in two ways. First, when mounting a Tire, use the Restraint Cone to push
the Tire down (helpful when clamping a Wheel externally). Second, when inflating a Tire, use to
hold the Wheel in position. Long and Short versions available.
– Assist Tool. Used to hold down the top Bead during the mounting process.
• Lower Assist Arm. Holds a single Tool:
– Helper Disc. Used to hold up the bottom Bead during the demounting process.

Front view. Not to scale. Not all components shown.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 36 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 Before You Change a Tire
⚠ DANGER Do not use the Tire Changer unless you have been properly trained and have read
the entire Installation and Operation Manual. Tire changing must only be done by
trained, authorized, supervised personnel. Failure to understand and follow
proper procedures will result in injury or death.
Before you change a Tire, you should:
• Remove weights. Check the Wheel to make sure that all clip-on and adhesive weights (from
having the Tire balanced) have been removed.
• Deflate the Tire. This is required. You must fully deflate Tires before demounting
them.
To make sure a Tire is fully deflated, remove the Valve Core from the Valve Stem. You should use a
Valve Core Tool for this, but if you do not have one, you may be able to use needle-nosed pliers.
• Have Tire lubricant ready. Tire Lubricant makes the process of demounting and mounting
Tires much easier. If you do not use Tire Lubricant, you significantly increase the chances of
damaging the Wheel and the Tire. Tire Lubricant is not provided with the Tire Changer.
• Check for damage. Especially with expensive Wheels, make sure to check them for any
damage before changing the Tire. Depending on the circumstances, if you find any damage you
might want to discuss that damage with the owner of the Vehicle and/or photograph the damage.
If you work in a shop, talk to your supervisor regarding shop policies in this area.
Additionally, damaged Wheels and Tires are dangerous to work with. If you are not sure whether a
Wheel or Tire is too damaged to work with, talk to your supervisor.
• Understand Performance Wheels. Before servicing performance Wheels, review the
Performance Wheels section of this manual.
• Identify the Narrow Side/Drop Center of the Wheel. The rule is: the Narrow Side/Drop
Center side of the Wheel gets put onto the Tire Changer facing up. For most Wheels, this means
the side of the Wheel facing the outside of the Vehicle goes on top, because that’s where the
Narrow Side/Drop Center side is on most (but not all) Wheels.
The following drawing shows two Wheels and identifies the Narrow Side, Drop Center, and Wide
Side of each.

Some aftermarket and OEM performance Wheels are reverse drop-center Wheels, meaning the
Narrow Side/Drop Center side of the Wheel is closer to the inside of the Vehicle. The rule still holds
for these Vehicles: the Narrow Side/Drop Center side of the Wheel gets put onto the Tire Changer
facing up.
• Ask your Supervisor. If you have any concerns about a Tire you have been asked to demount
or mount, or about how to use the Tire Changer, consult with your supervisor before starting
work.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 37 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 Working with Custom and Special Wheels
This section covers working with Alloy Wheels with no drop center, European performance Wheels,
and Wheels with tire pressure monitoring systems.

Alloy Wheels
Some manufacturers offer Wheels with little or no drop center. These types of Wheels are almost never
Department of Transportation approved.

⚠ DANGER The Tire, Wheel, or both can be damaged, and the Tire could explode under
pressure, resulting in serious injury or death. BendPak Ranger recommends
you not try to demount or mount this type of Wheel. If you do attempt to
demount or mount this type of Wheel, proceed with extreme caution.

European Performance Wheels

Some European performance Wheels have very large humps except near the Valve Hole.
On these Wheels, the Beads should be loosened at the Valve Hole on both the upper and lower sides
first.

Wheels with Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS)

Some Wheels have a pressure sensor located behind the Valve Stem. On these Wheels, the Beads
should be loosened opposite the Valve Stem on both upper and lower sides first, before breaking the
Beads on the rest of the Tire.
Performance Wheels on some Vehicles (including Corvette, BMW, and Lamborghini Diablo) have a
pressure sensor strapped to the rim opposite the Valve Hole. On these Wheels, the Beads should be
loosened at the Valve Hole on both the upper and lower sides first, before breaking the Beads on the
rest of the Tire.
Be mindful of the TPMS sensor when breaking a Tire’s Bead, demounting a Tire, and mounting a new
Tire. If your shop does not have specific recommendations for handling these situations, BendPak
Ranger recommends:
• When breaking a Tire’s Bead. Keep the TPMS sensor away from where the Bead is being
broken. Put the sensor at 12 o’clock high (relative to the ground) when breaking the Bead.
• When demounting a Tire. Put the TPMS sensor just to the right of the Mount/Demount Head.
• When mounting a Tire. Put the TPMS sensor just to the left of the Mount/Demount Head.
These are general guidelines; be sure to use common sense and take into consideration the specifics
of each situation.
When finished mounting a Tire with a TPMS sensor, check that it is working. It is against the law to
knowingly not re-install a working TPMS if the Vehicle arrived at the facility with a functioning TPMS. In
other words, if a Vehicle came in with a functioning TPMS, it needs to leave with a functioning TPMS.

 The Steps in Changing a Tire
Before you start working on a Tire, review the requirements in Before You Change a Tire.
Changing a Tire consists of multiple steps:
1. Deflate the Tire. There is a lot of energy stored in a Tire when it is inflated. You must fully
deflate the Tire before you can demount it. If you do not, that energy will be released when you try
to demount it, which could result in the Tire exploding, causing injury and even death to the
Operator or bystanders. Never work on a Tire unless you have personally confirmed
that it is fully deflated. The best way to do this is to make sure the Valve Core has been
removed from the Valve Stem.
2. Break the Bead. Tires stay in position because the Tire Bead is seated between the Bead
Retainer and the Rim Lip of the Wheel (called the Bead Seat). To demount a Tire, you must get the
Bead out of the Bead Seat all the way around both sides of the Tire. This is called Breaking the
Bead. Use care when Breaking the Bead of Wheels with a TPMS.
3. Secure the Wheel on the Turntable. It is important for the Wheel to stay in place on the
Turntable. The Tire Changer supports both Internal and External Clamping.

⚠ WARNING Do not stand on the Tire Changer Frame, or Turntable while demounting or mounting a
Tire.
4. Demount the Tire. Once the Bead is broken, you still have to slide both Beads over the Rim Lip
of the Wheel to get it fully off. Once the Tire is demounted from the Wheel, you can move it out of
the way and then mount the new Tire.
5. Mount the new Tire. Mounting a Tire is basically the opposite of demounting. You first need to
get the Beads under the Rim (the opposite of demounting the Tire), get the Beads into position in
the Bead Seats (the opposite of Breaking the Bead), and then inflate the Tire (the opposite of
deflating the Tire).
6. Inflate the Tire. Three separate stages: Bead Seal, Bead Seat, Inflate. Bead Sealing is
putting in a small amount of air pressure to push the Tire up against the Rim so that no more air
leaks out. Bead Seating is putting in more air pressure to “pop” the Beads into position in the
Bead Seats. Inflation is adding air pressure to the Tire manufacturer’s recommended pressure
after the Beads have been seated.
7. Remove the Wheel from the Turntable. Disengage the Clamps, then move the Wheel and
Tire off the Turntable and back onto the ground.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 39 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 About Valve Stems
The following drawing shows a Valve Stem and its components.

This manual talks about Valve Cores and Valve Stems at multiple points:
• When demounting a Tire. Taking out the Valve Core lets the air out of the Tire, which must
be done before you can demount a Tire.
It is dangerous to do any service on a Tire if there is air still in it.
There is a tool called a Valve Core Tool that makes it easy to remove a Valve Core.
• When replacing the entire Valve Stem. Valve Stems are normally replaced when you mount
a new Tire on a Wheel.
When mounting a new Tire, BendPak Ranger recommends installing a new Valve Stem, but it is
not required. The process for replacing a Valve Stem is to cut out or pull out the old Valve Stem,
then install the new Valve Stem. This should be done after the old Tire has been demounted but
before the new Tire is mounted.
There is a tool called a Valve Stem Installer/Remover Tool (sometimes Valve Stem Puller/Remover
Tool) that can be used to both remove an old Valve Stem and install a new Valve Stem.
This tool is not the same tool as the Valve Core Tool.
• When inflating a Tire. Before starting the first stage of inflating a Tire (sealing the Beads),
remove the Valve Core. Make sure to keep it. Removing the Valve Core allows air to move
more easily into the Tire.
Once the second stage of inflating a Tire (seating the Beads) is complete, put the Valve Core back
in.
Sealing and seating the Beads do not put too much air pressure into the Tires. Inflating the Tire,
the third stage, does. The Valve Core must be installed for the inflation stage, as that will keep the
air from coming back out of the Tire.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 40 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 Deflate the Tire
You must fully deflate a Tire before you can demount it.

⚠ DANGER Never attempt to demount or mount an inflated Tire. They must be deflated.
Attempting to demount or mount an inflated Tire could cause it to explode, which
could result in injury or even death.
To deflate a Tire:
1. If the Valve Stem has a Cap on it, remove it.
2. Pull the Valve Core out of the Valve Body.

Use a Valve Core Tool to remove the Valve Core. If a tool is not available, you may be able to use
needle-nosed pliers.
If you are going to use the same Valve Stem with the new Tire you are going to mount, keep the
Valve Core you just took out.
BendPak Ranger recommends installing a new Valve Stem when you mount a new Tire.
3. Make sure all of the air comes out of the Tire.

⚠ WARNING Do not proceed with any other Tire changing activity until you are certain the Tire is
fully deflated. Do not demount a Tire until you yourself have made sure the Tire is
fully deflated. In other words, do not take someone’s word for it. If you are
demounting a Tire, you must make sure it is fully deflated.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 41 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 Break the Beads
The Beads must be broken – on both sides of a Tire – before the Tire can be demounted.

⚠ WARNING Do not Break the Bead of a Tire until you have made sure the Tire is fully deflated.
A Tire with air still in it could explode, injuring the Operator or bystanders.
The Bead is broken when the Tire Beads come out from between the Rim Lip and the Bead Retainer
(the Bead Seat) all the way around the Tire, on both sides of the Tire.
To break a Tire’s Beads:
1. Make sure you are wearing OSHA-approved (publication 3151) personal protective equipment:
leather gloves, steel-toed work boots, back belts, hearing protection, and ANSI-approved eye
protection (safety glasses, face shield, or goggles).
2. Check the Tire again to make sure it is fully deflated.
3. Check both sides of the Tire to make sure all Wheel weights (from balancing) have been removed.
If they have not, remove them.

⚠ CAUTION Breaking the Beads of a Tire with Wheel weights could damage the Tire Changer
and/or the Wheel.
4. Identify the Narrow side of the Tire whose Beads you are breaking; break this side first.
5. Move the Tire into position between the Pads and the Bead Breaker Blade, with the Narrow side of
the Tire on the Blade side.
6. Depending on the size of the Tire whose Bead you are breaking, you may need to adjust the
position of the Blade or use the Adjustment Rod to adjust the Bead Breaker Mechanism.
Refer to Bead Breaker for more information.
7. If you are Breaking the Beads of a Tire with a TPMS, put the sensor at 12 o’clock high or 6 o’clock
low (relative to the ground), to reduce the chances of damaging it.

8. Move the Blade so that it is on the side of the Tire, very close to, but not touching, the Rim.

⚠ CAUTION Make sure the Blade is not touching the Rim. The Bead Breaker Mechanism uses
a great deal of force; the Rim could be damaged if the Blade pushes on it instead of
the side of the Tire.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 42 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 9. Step on and hold down the Bead Breaker Foot Pedal.
The Blade pushes in, moving the Bead out of the Bead Seat and in towards the Drop Center of the
Tire.
When the Bead breaks, it frequently (but not always) makes an audible popping sound.
10. If the Blade does not fully move the Bead out of the Bead Seat, adjust the Blade a little bit one way
or the other and then step on and hold down the Bead Breaker Foot Pedal again.
11. When the Bead is broken, rotate the Tire 180° and break the Bead at that location.
Every Tire is different. With some Tires, the entire Bead on one side could be broken with the first
use of the Bead Breaker Blade. Other Tires could take multiple attempts until the Bead is broken all
of the way around the Tire.
12. When the Bead is completely broken all the way around on one side of the Tire, move the Tire out,
turn it around, and then break the Bead on the second side of the Tire.
Again, avoid breaking the Bead at the TPMS; you could damage the sensor.
Important: It may take you two or three times to break the Bead at any one spot. Nevertheless,
keep going until you break the Bead all the way around the Tire and on both sides
of the Tire. Do not proceed to demounting the Tire until the Bead is broken all the
way around and on both sides of the Tire.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 43 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 Secure the Wheel on the Turntable
Before you can demount a Tire, you must secure the Wheel on the Turntable.
The Tire Changer supports two ways of securing the Wheel to the Turntable:
• External clamping. The Clamps are on the outside, pressing inwards.
• Internal clamping. The Clamps are on the inside, pressing outwards.

As a general rule, steel Wheels clamp internally (Clamps push out against Wheel) and custom and mag
Wheels clamp externally (Clamps push in against outside Rim edge). Check with your supervisor if you
are unclear about which method to use.
To secure a Wheel on the Turntable:
1. Make sure you are wearing OSHA-approved (publication 3151) personal protective equipment:
leather gloves, steel-toed work boots, back belts, hearing protection, and ANSI-approved eye
protection (safety glasses, face shield, or goggles).
2. Identify the Narrow side of the Tire; this side goes up.
3. Determine which clamping method you are going to use.
– If you are clamping externally, press up on the Clamps Foot Pedal to move the Clamps all the
way out.
– If you are clamping internally, press down on the Clamps Foot Pedal to move the Clamps all
the way in.
4. Put the Wheel onto the Turntable, either between the Clamps that are all the way out for external
clamping or over the Clamps that are all the way in for internal clamping.
5. Secure the Wheel:
– If you are clamping externally, press down on the Clamps Foot Pedal to move the Clamps in
until the Wheel is being firmly held in place.
– If you are clamping internally. press up on the Clamps Foot Pedal to move the Clamps out
until the Wheel is being firmly held in place.

Tip Clamping externally can be difficult on some Tires. If you are having problems getting the
Clamps to clamp externally, either press down on the Wheel from above or, if you are
using the R980AT, use the Restraint Cone to push the Wheel down from above. Pushing
down from above moves the Rim away from the Tire, making it easier for the Clamps to
grab the Rim.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 44 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 Demount the Tire
Demounting a Tire is the process of taking a Tire off a Wheel. Specifically, you need to pull the top
Bead over the top of the Rim, then pull the bottom Bead also over the top of the Rim.

⚠ CAUTION You must use Tire lubricant; this makes the Tire demount more easily and helps to
prevent damage to the Wheel and/or the Tire.
During demounting, the Bead goes over the Demount Lip of the Mount/Demount Head but stays
under the Mount Lip. See Mount/Demount Heads for additional information.

⚠ WARNING The following procedure requires that the Tire’s Beads are broken on both sides.
Do not try to demount a Tire whose Beads are not broken on both sides; you
could damage the Wheel, the Tire, or even injure yourself or bystanders.
To demount a Tire:
1. Make sure you are wearing OSHA-approved (publication 3151) personal protective equipment:
leather gloves, steel-toed work boots, back belts, hearing protection, and ANSI-approved eye
protection (safety glasses, face shield, or goggles).
2. Verify that the Tire’s Beads are completely broken on both sides of the Tire.
3. Apply Tire lubricant to both the top and bottom Tire Beads and the top and bottom Rim.
This helps slide the Beads over the Rims more easily.
4. Move the Mount/Demount Head into position, very close to the Rim but not touching it, and
lock it in position using the Shaft Lock Handle.

Tip If you are working on multiple Wheels of exactly the same size, you can “lock” the
Mount/Demount Head to this location using the Swing Control, located next to the
Swing Arm at the top of the Tire Changer. Refer to Swing Arm for more information.
At this point, the top Bead is under both the Mount Lip and the Demount Lip; it needs to be
brought up over the top of the Demount Lip.
5. Push the top Bead 180° opposite the Mount/Demount Head into the Drop Center of the Wheel.
This gives you some extra room to help pull the top Bead over the Demount Lip.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 45 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 6. Take the Bead Lifting Tool, position one end on the outside of the Demount Lip of the
Mount/Demount Head, then slide it down between the Demount Lip and the top Tire Bead until it
is just past (and a little under) the Bead.
7. Carefully push the Bead Lifting Tool in towards the middle of the Wheel in an arc.
This pulls the top Bead over the Demount Lip of the Mount/Demount Head, which is what you
want.

⚠ CAUTION Hold on to the Bead Lifting Tool. Depending on the Tire, it may take a
good deal of force to move the Bead up and over the Demount Lip. If you were
to release the Bead Lifting Tool at this point, it could easily injure the Operator
or damage the Wheel, Tire, or the Tire Changer.
Check to make sure the Bead Lifting Tool is lifting the Tire Bead up and over the Demount Lip of
the Mount/Demount Head. If the Tire Bead is not coming up and over the Demount Lip, pull the
Bead Lifting Tool out and start again.
8. When the Bead Lifting Tool has moved all the way over to the middle of the Wheel, check the top
Bead to make sure it is above the Demount Lip.
The top Bead must be above the top of the Demount Lip to proceed.
Continue holding the Bead Lifting Tool.
9. Press down the Turntable Foot Pedal so that the Turntable begins turning clockwise.
Note: If you have difficulty getting the Turntable to move clockwise, release the Turntable Foot
Pedal, keep hold of the Bead Lifting Tool, and then press up on the Turntable Foot Pedal
for few seconds to move the Turntable counterclockwise, then press down again to
move clockwise. Repeat as necessary to clear up the difficulty.
Watch the top Bead to make sure it is being pushed over the Rim, all the way around the Tire, as
the Turntable moves.
10. Keep turning the Turntable until the entire top Bead pops over the top of the Rim.
11. When the top Tire Bead pops over the Rim, release the Turntable Foot Pedal, and remove the
Bead Lifting Tool.
The top Bead is demounted.
The next step is to demount the bottom Bead over the top Rim.
12. Make sure there is still lubricant on the bottom Bead and the top Rim.
If there is not, put some more on.
13. Push the bottom Bead up as much as possible all the way around the Wheel, then push the side of
the Tire opposite the Mount/Demount Head into the Drop Center of the Wheel.
If you are using the R980AT, you can position the Helper Disc to hold up the side of the Tire
opposite the Mount/Demount Head. If you are using the R980XR, you can manually lift the
opposite side of the Tire.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 46 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 14. Take the Bead Lifting Tool, put it on the outside of the Demount Lip, then slide it down past and
under the bottom Bead.
Getting the Bead Lifting Tool into position may be trickier this time, as the rest of the Tire is in the
way as you are trying to get access to the bottom Bead.

-
Tires not shown for clarity. Side view. Not necessarily to scale.
15. Push the Bead Lifting Tool towards the middle of the Wheel in an arc, pulling the bottom Bead over
the Demount Lip of the Mount/Demount Head.
16. While continuing to hold the Bead Lifting Tool, press down on the Turntable Foot Pedal to move
the Turntable clockwise.
Watch the bottom Bead to make sure it is being pushed over the top of the Rim as the Turntable
moves.
17. Keep turning the Turntable until the entire bottom Bead pops over the top Rim.
The Tire is now dismounted and can be removed.

Wheel / Tire Mismatches

A Wheel / Tire mismatch is mounting a Tire where the Tire’s Bead diameter does not exactly match the
Diameter of the Wheel.

⚠ DANGER A Wheel / Tire mismatch is extremely dangerous. A mismatched Tire and

Wheel may separate or explode, resulting in injury or even death.
The differences can be subtle, so you must take care to get an exact match.
For example, a 16-inch Tire goes on a 16-inch Wheel, not a 15.5 or a 16.5-inch Wheel. It may be
possible to slide the 16-inch Tire over the Rim Lip of a 16.5-inch Wheel, but during inflation it will not
seat properly.

⚠ WARNING Do not mount a Tire on a Wheel until you, yourself, have positively identified and
correctly matched the Tire and Rim diameters. If you try to seat a Tire Bead on a
mismatched Wheel and Tire by inflating it, the Tire Bead may break with explosive
force, which could result in serious injury or death.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 47 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 Mount a New Tire
Mounting a Tire is the process of putting a Tire onto a Wheel.

⚠ WARNING Mounting a new Tire can be hazardous if not done correctly. Do not change a Tire
unless you have been trained to do so. Failure to understand and follow proper
procedures can result in injury or death.
During mounting, the Tire Bead goes over the Mount Lip of the Mount/Demount Head but stays under
the Demount Lip. See Mount/Demount Heads for additional information.
Review the following points before mounting a Tire:
• Check the Tire and Wheel to make sure they are an exact match.
• If desired, replace the Wheel’s Valve Stem before mounting the Tire.
• Consider using the Alloy Steel Mount/Demount Head, as it has a built-in Roller that helps to keep
the Sidewall of the Tire stay under the Mount/Demount Head.
• Make sure the Wheel is both clean and free of balancing weights. Remove any weights and any
corrosion you find on the Wheel; do not service heavily corroded Wheels.
• Check the Tire for damage; do not mount a damaged Tire.
• Check the location of the TPMS and adjust the Tire if necessary. Do not damage the sensor.
• Check for yellow and red dots. If found, line them up with the appropriate locations on the Tire.
• Make sure the Tire is fully deflated.
When mounting a Tire, you mount the bottom Bead first, then the top Bead.
To mount a Tire:
1. Make sure you are wearing OSHA-approved (publication 3151) personal protective equipment:
leather gloves, steel-toed work boots, back belts, hearing protection, and ANSI-approved eye
protection (safety glasses, face shield, or goggles).
2. If the Wheel is not already secured on the Turntable with the Narrow Side facing up, move the
Wheel onto the Turntable and secure internally or externally.
3. Apply Tire lubricant to the top and bottom Beads and the top and bottom Rims.
4. Put the Tire over the Wheel, with the side that will be next to the Mount/Demount Head low and
the other side high (above the top of the Wheel).
5. Swing the Mount/Demount Head into position.
6. Bring up the low side of the Tire and put the bottom Tire Bead over the Mount Lip and under the
Demount Lip.

Side view. Not to scale.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 48 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 7. Push the side of the Tire furthest away from the Mount/Demount Head down over that side of the
Rim and Wheel as far as it will go.
8. Press down on the Turntable Foot Pedal.
The Turntable will turn clockwise, and the bottom Tire Bead will drop over the top of the Rim.
9. Put the top Tire Bead over the Mount Lip and under the Demount Lip.

Side view. Not to scale.

10. If using the Alloy Steel Mount/Demount Head, swing the built-in Roller into position on the Sidewall
of the Tire.
11. If using the R980XR, position the Bead Lifting Tool to the left of the Mount/Demount Head (about
20 percent of the distance around the Tire), with the Bead Lifting Tool pushing down on the
Sidewall of the Tire.

Top view. Not to scale.

12. When you start rotating the Tire, move the Bead Lifting Tool around as the Tire moves around,
keeping the Tool at the same spot on the Tire.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 49 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 13. If using the R980AT, position the Assist Tool to the left of the Mount/Demount Head (about 20
percent of the total distance around the Tire), with the Assist Tool pushing down on the Sidewall of
the Tire.

Top view. Not to scale.

When you start rotating the Tire, move the Assist Tool around as the Tire moves around, keeping
the Tool at the same spot on the Tire.
14. Press down on the Turntable Foot Pedal to move the Turntable clockwise.
If using the Bead Lifting Tool or Assist Tool to hold down the Sidewall starting near the
Mount/Demount Head, move them around with the Tire as it rotates.
15. If you run into any difficulty as the Tire rotates, take your foot off the Turntable Foot Pedal to stop
the Turntable, then press up on the Turntable Foot Pedal to turn the Turntable counterclockwise.
Make any necessary adjustments and then proceed.
Eventually the top Tire Bead slips under the Rim. How long this takes can vary, based on the Tire
you are mounting.
The Tire is now in place around the Wheel Rim. The next step is to inflate the Tire.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 50 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 Inflate the Tire
Tire inflation has three stages:
• Bead sealing is putting in a small amount of air pressure to push the Tire up against the Rim so
the rest of the air you put in does not leak out. Remove the Valve Core before beginning the Bead
sealing, as that allows more air to go in through the Valve Stem. Remember to put the Valve Core
back in once both Beads are seated (before inflation). If you have difficulty sealing the Beads (you
hear air escaping from between the Tire and the Rim), you can use the Turbo-Blast™ nozzle.
• Bead seating is putting more air pressure into the Tire until you hear a “pop”, which indicates the
Beads (on both sides of the Tire) have slipped over the Bead Humps into their Bead Seats. Put the
Valve Core back in once the Beads are seated.
• Inflation is adding more air pressure to the Tire to get the pressure up to the manufacturer’s
recommended pressure for the Tire. Do not stand over the Tire when inflating it.
Each of these stages is covered separately below.

⚠ CAUTION The inflation process can produce noise. Wear ear protection when inflating a Tire.

⚠ WARNING Do not exceed the maximum air pressure specified by the Tire manufacturer. This
increases the chances that the Tire could explode, causing injury or even death to
the Operator and bystanders.
Use the Pressure Gauge on the Tire Changer to monitor the air pressure in the Tire you are inflating.

⚠ DANGER If you are inflating a Tire that requires more than 60 psi, you must use a Tire
Inflation Cage such as the RIC-4716 for safety purposes. If a Tire fails at
high pressure, it can explode and cause serious injury or death to anyone near it.
Using a Tire Inflation Cage helps reduce the danger.
Important inflation notes:
• Identify the recommended inflation pressure of the Tire (usually located on a sticker on the
driver-side doorjamb) and the maximum inflation pressure of the Tire (usually located on the
sidewall). When inflating, your goal is the recommended inflation pressure; do not exceed the
maximum inflation pressure when inflating the Tire.
• Make sure the Tire is restrained for inflation: either internally clamped, held down by a Restraint
Cone (R980AT only), or in a Tire Inflation Cage. Do not inflate a Tire if it is externally clamped;
external clamping interferes with inflation.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 51 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 Bead Sealing
To seal a Tire’s Beads, you put a small amount of air pressure into the Tire, which pushes the Tire up
against the Rim so that additional air you put in does not leak out.
To Seal the Beads:
1. Make sure you are wearing OSHA-approved (publication 3151) personal protective equipment:
leather gloves, steel-toed work boots, back belts, hearing protection, and ANSI-approved eye
protection (safety glasses, face shield, or goggles).
2. Make sure the Valve Core has been removed.
3. Clip the Air Chuck to the Valve Stem.
The Air Chuck includes a self-gripping clip, so you do not have to hold it in place during inflation.

⚠ WARNING Do not hold the Air Chuck while you are inflating a Tire. This leaves you
close to the Tire, which could result in injury if there is a problem during inflation.
4. Press and hold down the Inflation Foot Pedal for a second or two.
Air goes into the Tire and seals the Bead.
Bead Sealing takes very little air pressure, anywhere from 0 to 3 psi, which you can monitor on the
Pressure Gauge.
You know the Bead is sealed when you no longer hear the sound of air coming out from between
the Wheel Rim and the Tire Beads.
5. Check to make sure the upper and lower Beads are sealed against the Rim.
If the Beads are not sealed, try again, this time putting in slightly more air.
6. If the Bead is still not sealed, position the Turbo-Blast™ nozzle about an inch from where the
Wheel meets the Rim Edge and press the Button. You want the air blast to go under the Rim and
into the Tire, sealing the Bead.

Side view shown; nozzle must be held flat to use. Not to scale. Not all components shown.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 52 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 Bead Seating
To seat a Tire’s Beads, you put in additional air pressure until you hear a “pop”, which indicates the
Tire Beads have slipped over the Bead Humps into their Bead Seats.
Remember that a Tire has Beads on both sides of the Tire. The Beads must be seated on both sides.
Bead Seating is not complete until the Beads are seated on both sides of the Tire.

⚠ WARNING Do not exceed 40 psi to seat a Bead.

The following procedure assumes the Tire’s Beads have already been sealed. Do not try to seat the
Beads until the Beads have been successfully sealed.
To Seat the Beads:
1. Make sure the Air Chuck is clipped to the Valve Stem of the Tire.
2. Step back from the Tire.
3. Press and hold down the Inflation Foot Pedal.
Air begins flowing into the Tire.
After a few seconds, you should hear a “pop” as the Beads are seated.
Bead Seating usually requires 7 psi or above.
Some Beads are hard to seat, but never exceed 40 psi to seat the Bead.
If air pressure in the Tire gets to 40 psi but the Beads are still not seated, use the Pressure Relief
Button to remove air down to about 5 psi and then try again to seat the Beads. If you lower the psi
too far, you may lose the Bead seal and must do that again.
4. Release the Inflation Foot Pedal.
5. If the Beads do not seat on a second attempt, either:
– get a different Tire
– ask your supervisor for instructions
– let all of the air out of the Tire and start again (seal the Beads and then attempt to seat the
Beads again)
6. If the amount of air pressure it takes to seat the Beads exceeds the manufacturer’s recommended
psi for the Tire, use the Pressure Relief Button to remove air pressure from the Tire, bringing it back
down to the recommended psi for the Tire.
7. When the Beads are seated, remove the Air Chuck from the Valve Stem and reinstall the Valve
Core.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 53 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 Inflating the Tire
To inflate a Tire after sealing and then seating the Beads, add air pressure to the Tire to get the
pressure to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure.
Use the Pressure Gauge to monitor air pressure; do not ‘guesstimate’ the psi.

⚠ DANGER If you are inflating a Tire that requires more than 60 psi, you must use a Tire
Inflation Cage such as the RIC-4716 for safety purposes. If a Tire fails at
high pressure, it can explode and cause serious injury or death to anyone near it.
Using a Tire Inflation Cage helps reduce the danger.
The typical inflation pressure for automobile Tires is from approximately 25 to 45 psi. Light truck Tire
inflation pressures typically cover a wider range.
Do not exceed the Tire manufacturer’s maximum air pressure for a Tire. Your goal is to get to the
Tire’s recommended pressure.
The Tire Changer has an air pressure limiter that is set at the factory so that it does not exceed 60 psi.
Do not override the pressure limiter.

⚠ DANGER Inflating a Tire with a bypassed pressure limiter could result in the Tire exploding,
which could injure or kill bystanders or the Tire Changer Operator. Do not exceed
60 psi unless the Tire is in a Tire Inflation Cage.
To inflate a Tire:
1. Verify that both the upper and lower Beads are sealed and seated.
2. Verify that the Valve Core has been put back in.
3. Make sure the Air Chuck is clipped to the Valve Stem of the Tire using the self-gripping clip.
4. Step back from the Tire.

⚠ DANGER Do not stand over the Tire when inflating it. If the Tire explodes during inflation
(which does not happen often, but does happen), you could be injured or killed if
you are standing over the Tire when it explodes.
5. Press and hold down the Inflation Foot Pedal.
Air begins flowing into the Tire.
6. Inflate the Tire to the manufacturer’s recommended psi by monitoring the Pressure Gauge.
7. Release the Inflation Foot Pedal.
8. Remove the Air Chuck from the Valve Stem.
9. Take the Wheel off the Tire Changer.

Maintenance
Make sure your Tire Changer is maintained on a regular basis.

⚠ WARNING Disconnect the Tire Changer from power and the incoming air from the Air Source
before performing any Maintenance. Take whatever steps are necessary to
make sure the unit cannot be re-energized until Maintenance is over (such as
Lockout/Tagout). Because the unit uses electrical and pneumatic energy, you could
be electrocuted or even killed if the unit is powered back on during Maintenance.
The Tire Changer uses pneumatic and electrical energy; if your organization has Lockout/Tagout
policies, make sure to implement them before performing maintenance on the Tire Changer.

Regular Maintenance
• Daily: Make sure the unit is clean and dry.
• Weekly: Check all labels to make sure they are in place and legible. Contact BendPak Ranger if
replacement labels are needed.
• Weekly: Check the water level of the Regulator/Filter. If the reservoir is one quarter (25%) or more
filled with water, drain it. Refer to Check the Water Level for instructions.
• Weekly: Check the oil feed rate of the Oiler/Lubricator. It should be 1 to 2 drops per use of a
pneumatic component. If it is above or below this level, you need to adjust it. Refer to Check the
Oil Feed Rate and Adding Oil for instructions.
• Weekly: Check the amount of pneumatic oil in the Oiler/Lubricator reservoir. If it is under one half
(50%) full, add oil. Refer to Check the Oil Feed Rate and Adding Oil for instructions.
• Monthly: Check the accuracy of the Inflation Gauge using a pressurized tire and a high-quality
pressure gauge. Fix immediately if not working correctly.
• Monthly: Make sure all Anchor Bolts are tightened and secure, if used.
• Monthly: Make sure all components are in good operating condition. If you find a component that
is not working correctly, take the Tire Changer out of service and refer to Troubleshooting for
more information.
• Twice a Year: Have a licensed Electrician check the electronic components.
• Yearly: Take the Tire Changer out of service, disconnect the Power Cord from the power source,
and then thoroughly check and clean all components.

⚠ WARNING: Do not operate your Tire Changer if you find issues; instead, take the unit out of
service, then contact your dealer, visit [Link]/support/, or call
(805) 933-9970.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 55 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 Check the Water Level
Water coming in from the Air Source is pulled out of the incoming air by the Regulator/Filter and
dropped into the reservoir at the bottom.
This water needs to be drained periodically.
To drain water from the Regulator/Filter reservoir:
1. Check the Water Sight Gauge to see how much water is currently in the reservoir.
If the reservoir is one quarter (25%) or more filled with water, you need to drain it.
2. Disconnect the Air Source at the Air In connector.

⚠ WARNING Make sure to disconnect the Air Source and make sure it cannot be reconnected
until you are done draining the water from the Regulator/Filter. If the Air Source is
reconnected during the procedure, it could damage the Regulator/Filter, the Tire
Changer, and possibly injure bystanders.

3. Press upwards on the Water Drain Plug at the bottom of the reservoir.
The water drains out.
4. Release the Water Drain Plug.
5. Re-connect the Air Source.

R980 Series of Tire Changers 56 P/N 5900158 — Rev. F2 - January 2023

 Check the Oil Feed Rate and Adding Oil
The built-in lubricator adds pneumatic oil to the incoming air. This ensures that all pneumatic
components of the Tire Changer receive the necessary lubrication, which maintains operating
performance, reduces wear, and extends service life.
It is very important to make sure the oil feed rate is correct, 1 or 2 drops of oil per use of pneumatic
component (such as the Clamps Foot Pedal), and that there is enough pneumatic oil in the Oil
Reservoir of the Oiler/Lubricator.
To check the oil feed rate on the Oiler/Lubricator:
1. With the Air Source connected, press up or down on the Clamps Foot Pedal for several seconds,
then release.
You do not need a Tire; you just need to use a pneumatic tool.
2. Watch the Sight Glass to see how much pneumatic oil comes out each time you press up or down
on the Clamps Foot Pedal.
Your goal is for 1 or 2 drops to come out each time.
3. If you are getting fewer than 1 or 2 drops, turn the Adjustment Screw counter-clockwise (using a
small flat-head screwdriver), then press the Clamps Foot Pedal again to check the output.
4. If you are getting more than 1 or 2 drops, turn the Adjustment Screw clockwise, then press the
Clamps Foot Pedal again to check the output.
5. When you are getting 1 or 2 drops, stop turning the Adjustment Screw.
To add pneumatic oil to the Oiler/Lubricator:
1. Check the Oil Sight Gauge to see how much pneumatic oil is currently in the reservoir.
If the reservoir is less than one half (50%) filled with pneumatic oil, you need to add oil to it.
2. Disconnect the Air Source at the Air In connector.
3. Turn the Oil Fill Cap on the top of the Oil Reservoir counterclockwise and pull it off.
4. Add SAE 10W Air Tool Oil or generic pneumatic oil to the reservoir.
5. Put the Oil Fill Cap back in place, turning it clockwise until tight.
6. Re-connect the Air Source.

Wiring Information
The Tire Changer comes with a Power Cord that is connected inside the unit on one end and with
three exposed wires on the other end (called a ‘pigtail’). The three exposed wires need to be hard-
wired to the facility’s power system or connected to a 250 VAC, 30A, 2-Pole, 3-Wire, NEMA rated plug
(which is then connected to a power outlet). The electrical supply to the R980 must be protected by an
appropriate fuse or circuit breaker.

⚠ WARNING: All electrical work, such as hard wiring the unit to the facility’s power system or
attaching a Plug to a Power Cord, must be done by a licensed, certified
Electrician in accordance with all applicable national and local electrical codes.
Damage to the unit caused by improper electrical installation voids your warranty.
The Tire Changer does not come with a 250 VAC Plug; you must supply one.
The colors of the three exposed wires are Brown, Blue, and Green/Yellow, the European color code.

Important: To connect the three exposed wires to an appropriate Plug or to hard wire them, have
your Electrician follow the electrical codes for the country in which you are using the
unit and any local electrical codes.
For example, if you are using the unit in the United States, the color codes on the wiring that comes
with the Tire Changer correspond to:
• Brown: Live
• Blue: Live
• Green/Yellow: Ground
If you were using the unit in a European country, the color codes on the wiring that comes with the Tire
Changer correspond to:
• Brown: Live
• Blue: Neutral
• Green/Yellow: Ground
Information about color code conventions in other regions and countries is available online. Make sure
your Electrician installs the Plug in accordance with all applicable local electrical codes.
