TC3510/3500 Series
The Hunter TC3510/3500 Series Tire Changer is the best choice for servicing plastic
clad wheels. The combination of the tulip clamping system and the ability to loosen
the bead without using a side shovel means minimal risk to the plastic cladding.
Bead Loosening
Loosen beads with rollers as normal. There are no special procedures except to
ensure the upper bead roller does not contact the plastic cladding.
Tire Dismounting
NOTE: The following procedure applies to plastic clad wheels in
which the plastic extends all the way to the edge of the
wheel flange.
Adjust the tool arm to the Plus 1 lean back position, this creates a gap at the tool
head that prevents damage to the plastic cladding.
Use the HM bead lever to place the upper bead onto the tool head. Remove the bead
lever before rotating tire to eliminate the possibility of damaging to the plastic
cladding.
Tire Mounting
Mount the tire normally There are no special procedures.
Wheel Clamping
Place quick clamp in center post and lightly hand tighten. Take care to check that
the wheel is perfectly centered before tightening lightly by hand.
Bead Loosening

cladding.
Tire Mounting
Mount the tire normally. There are no special procedures.
Bead Loosening
CAUTION: Extreme care must be used when loosening the bead. The
plastic cladding is easily damaged by the wheel pad when
loosening the opposite bead.
From this stopped position, use additional partial steps on the clamping pedal to
incrementally retract the clamps. Set the clamps to the 16 mark on the turntable.
Continue to incrementally retract the clamps until all four clamps contact the rim.
Step down once only on the clamping pedal (second pedal from the left) to fully
retract the clamps to the rim.
NOTE: Always verify that all four clamps are on the rim before
applying pressure to prevent possible failure.
Verify the wheel is perfectly centered on the tire changer. Re-clamp if necessary.
Tire Dismounting
Install the standard metal mount/demount head if the optional polymer head is
installed.
Tire Mounting
Mount the tire normally.
Assemble the Hunter Flange Plate with three of the longer angled-tip fingers. Adjust
flange plate to fit into wheel lug holes.
Mount the wheel on the balancer as normal when using a flange plate and perform
balance procedure.
Assemble the Haweka No. 4 plate, 231-901-409, using three 271-994-121 fingers in
the #7 position.
Mount the wheel on the balancer as normal when using a flange plate and perform
balance procedure.
