Hey Chad, you arent the first person to suggest this, I had a few people email me to start a video series about my life growing the business. Thinking its a good idea.

the head lifts slightly when you lock it down so that it is not actually touching the rim. on steel wheels touching ain't a big deal but on aluminum wheel it could cause damage. It is supposed to do that. By holding the head down you are actually bypassing a safety device.

I appreciate the reply! When I don't put my hand on top it comes up so high that I cant use the tool properly. It still moves up a little with your hand on top, but when you don't put your hand on top it moves up a ton!
@bryanrobbins73903 жыл бұрын
These things move too much. I have the same tool and when you dont force it down it tears up the tire. Cant complain for the price of it.

So anyone assembling this will be dumbfounded at the crappy instruction manuals. Just a few quick notes I learned making this thing work. I have the exact same set up with both arms like the one in this video. Of course your source air nozzle will screw into the side of the oil/air regulator on the right side of the unit which will be relocated to the right arm. You will be left with an air line with a T fitting hanging below each new arm. With the side panel off you will see the valve block direct behind the panel and it has the black foot pedal for filling up the tire air with. So just disconnect the hose coming from the (air) portion of the air /oil regulator mounted to right arm that goes into this valve block. Have someone wiggle the (air) hose and you’ll see which one it is at the valve block. Disconnect that hose from the valve block and T in both of your left and right lift arm T fittings in line with each other on the end of that (air) hose. You can route those T fitting hoses through the big hole in back of blue base at rear of machine. You will have to cut about 3” of that hose to connect your T fittings. You will see that the T fittings are 6mm hose and the feed line is 8mm hose so pay attention to what you’re working with and you’ll figure it out and it will work just fine. Note: Your air gauge pod that you mount to the left helper arm will have a solid line dangling from the bottom of it….the instructions say it’s coiled but mine was straight. If you extend it you will see that it just fits into the air line elbow fitting in the right rear of the blue machine base already mounted from factory. Lastly: the color codes for the left and right assist arms (up switches) are labeled but the picture is black and white. So you have to figure out which is which by paying attention to the picture. The black line is easy to figure out, the clear line in the pic looks fairly clear in the pic so the cloudy looking line must be the blue line….yep. Hook them up that way and you’ll be in business. There are a few things the machine does not come with that I highly suggest. A pressure bead blaster tank for extremely hard to seat larger tires. Another pry bar..snap on has one on Amazon for $44 with a plastic long sleeve over the bar to protect wheels and the bar is quality steel. A hand grab bead helper tool. A valve stem remover kit with valve stems and a shrader valves…Amazon has a 44 piece Chinese kit with lotsa good reviews. A jug of slick tire lube…slicker the better especially for low pro tires. I think that’s about it….oh be very careful not to trip Over your source shop air feed hose (my nephew did this) and it almost broke the regulator in half as the regulator seems kinda cheap and wiggles pretty easily so mounting your machine against a wall will keep people away from the source air feed hose. So far so good but my first practice wheel was a very stubborn low profile tire. We got it off but it was a learning curve and a pain in the butt. The tire in this video and the official Alta’s demo video tire definitely were much easier to work with than the tire/wheel I had to deal with today. Once we get the hang of ours I’ll make a cool video on how to knock out a super stubborn low pro tire. Just getting the pry bar and bead initially up and over the helper bar was a real mother.

Do you use the DAA often, or if you were buying another tc289 would you just buy a single side assist?
@Revitauto3 жыл бұрын
Hey! I do use the Dual Arm to assist almost every tire for cars. For trucks, I normally just lean on the tire and hold it down for time and speed. But the DAA is super handy when doing low profile tires and on busy days saves time and effort. If you are a shop, they make a higher more quality machine too that I might get next! We do a bunch on 19.5 inch tires with this machine so I am sure I will be replacing parts. So far we have done 500 or so tires and no issues.

I have the same tire machine but without the arm attchments, I am considering buying 1 or both side arms. Could you show a video using the arms on a 20 inch wheel, thats what I have a hard time with and without scratching the wheel thanks.

I bought a used TC289 without the arm assists. I tried to change some 1 ton dually 16" Kelly truck tires and the motor didn't have enough power to force the beads over the rim when dismounting or mounting the tire. It may work ok for passenger car tires but it sucks on light truck tires.
@Revitauto2 жыл бұрын
I use it regularly in LT tires and 19.5 tires. Sometimes I will lube up the tire while removing and that helps. It certainly is not as strong as other options
@sportster882 жыл бұрын
@@Revitauto I just tried using it with more lube and also discovered I was placing the bead on the guide tool wrong. This is my first rotary table machine. I'm used to using the old Coats rotating tool tire changers. It seems to be working better now. Thanks!
