foot valve is actuated and raise the tire all the way up. The lift will stop when it reaches
the full up position.

3) Rotate the lift cradle in front of the tread roller and roll the tire onto the machine. Release
the foot valve lever and it will return to natural position.
4) Place the bead hooks between the tire beads. The vertical height of the bead hooks are
fully adjustable and friction stops maintain the height.
5) Spread the tire as required with the foot valve. The light can be positioned to view any
portion of the tire.
6) To rotate the tire while on the spreader, release the air pressure from the spread cylinder
and allow the spread hooks to close. Rotate the tire to desired position and again spread
to the desired width. Repeat this operation until the tire is inspected.
7) To remove the tire from the machine, release the air pressure from the spread cylinder. As
the bead hooks disengage, swing them up and out of the tire. Move the light fixture out of
the tire.

cradle. Rotate the cradle away from the machine and release the lift foot valve lever.
