4.4 Checking and Adjusting the Bead Rollers
Check to ensure bead rollers operate in line with each other as follows:
Position the bead roller assembly into its working position.
Clamp a 14 or 15 inch rim without tire, from the outside of the rim with
rubber jaws.
Set the rim diameter indicator to the diameter of the rim mounted on the
TC3500.
Rotate the wheel so that the lower roller arm will not contact the tulip
arm.
Lower the upper bead arm so the roller just passes the outboard flange
of the rim by 1/8 of an inch.
Return the upper arm to the resting position.
Raise the lower arm and note if there is any difference in distance when
the roller is passing the lower rim edge. The lower bead roller should
pass the inboard flange of the rim at same position as the upper roller
setting.
Adjust rollers as follows:
Loosen both nuts that lock the lower bead roller arm adjustment cable.
Pull or push the cable until the lower roller is passing the inboard flange
at the same distance as the upper roller.
Tighten both nuts to lock the lower bead roller arm adjustment cable.
Move the bead roller command handle a couple of times forward and
backward.
Verify that the bead rollers operate in line with each other and adjust as
needed.
4.5 Checking and Adjusting the Position of the Bead Breaker Arm
Verify that the position of the bead breaker arm is slightly to the right of the centerline
of the wheel.
If bead breaker arm needs to be repositioned, loosen the two stop bolts of the roller
assembly and position as needed.
