Thank you for purchasing your Snap-on EEWH329A tire changer.
This video, will show you how to get
the most out of your changer,
minimizing rework and maximizing your time in the shop.
First, remove the valve core and any attached wheel weights.
Your Snap-on tire changer
has an adjustable position bead breaker shovel.
Loosen the locking screw
to accommodate different wheel widths.
Move the lever to accommodate different wheel diameters.
Now, hold open the bead breaker,
then roll the tire and wheel assembly
between the shovel and bead breaker pad.
If the tire is equipped with a TPMS sensor,
orient the valve stem 90 degrees
from the bead breaker shovel to avoid damaging the sensor.
Also make sure that the tire and wheel assembly
is flat against the rubber breaker pad.
To avoid damaging the rim,
do not allow the shovel to contact the rim.
Now activate the bead breaker pedal.
When the bead dislodges from the rim,
release the foot pedal.
Rotate the tire and repeat this procedure
until the bead is fully dislodged on both sides.
Next, measure the rim diameter.
Use this measurement to set the clamping diameter.
Release the clamp and slide it into the proper position.
When clamping wheels 14 inches or smaller,
set the clamps to the innermost position.
Place the wheel with drop center up on the turntable.
Make sure the clamps are at the rim edge
and not pinching the tire.
Place the wheel centering depressor
into position at the pilot hole of the rail.
Then actuate the lever on the pneumatic bead assist arm
to settle the rim onto the clamps.
Now the rim is ready to be clamped to the turntable.
Depress the foot pedal completely,
then release to secure the clamps to the rail.
Finally, release the wheel centering depressor.
Now, lower the mount/dismount head to the rim edge.
Once the head is in place,
push the top cap down and lock the vertical locking lever.
Next, thread the thumbscrew until it contacts the swing arm.
Thread in additional half turn to ensure
the mount/dismount head does not contact the rim edge.
Use the top roller on the pneumatic bead assist
to push the top bead down slightly.
Next, lubricate the top bead to make it easier to dismount.
Then the top roller can be moved out of the way.
Next, take the tire lever
and insert it between the tire and rim
at the mount/dismount head.
Pry the tire lever towards you
to pull the top bead of the tire over the top
of the mount/dismount head.
Press the pedal down to rotate the turntable.
Continue to rotate the turntable
until the top bead of the tire is completely removed.
Use the power lifting disc
to raise the bottom bead of the tire.
Insert the tire lever between the bottom bead of the tire
and the mount/dismount head.
Lift the bead over the mount/dismount head.
Now remove the tire lever.
Press the pedal down to rotate the turntable
and remove the tire.
Lubricate the top bead of the tire before installing.
Rotate the valve stem 180 degrees
from the mount/dismount head
to ensure the TPMS sensor is not damaged.
Place the tire on the top of the rim
and hook the bottom tire bead over the mount/dismount head.
Press the pedal to rotate the turntable
until the bottom bead is completely installed.
To install the top bead of the tire,
continue rotating the turntable until the TPMS sensor
is just behind the mount/dismount head.
Use the bead depressor to apply
a slight amount of pressure on the sidewall.
Press the pedal to rotate the turntable
and complete the top bead installation.
Next, remove the bead depressor from the tire
and swing it out of the way.
Also swing the mount/dismount head out of the way.
Press the foot pedal to remove the from the tire.
Lift the tire and wheel assembly up
to clear the clamping jaws.
Press the pedal again,
to bring the jaws to the center of the turntable.
Place the tire back onto the turntable.
Place the inflation hose on the valve stem.
Place the wheel centering depressor
on the pilot hole of the rim.
Press the inflation pedal down halfway to inflate the tire.
Fully depress the pedal to activate the bead seating jets.
Use the inflation gauge to inflate the tire.
