High-performance polyurethane seals and self-lubricating Teflon® piston guides provide increased service life and performance at the highest level possible within almost every imaginable working condition. Valve plungers feature muffled extrication ports that direct any dirt or contamination accumulated on the outside perimeter of the spool to be automatically blown away each time the valve goes into the release position.
A balanced flywheel helps the machine run smoothly, reduces vibration, and helps minimize associated stress on other machinery components. The advanced drive belt system features specially engineered belts with convex sidewalls to distribute wear evenly while providing proper belt support for improved service life. Both flex-bonded cords and flex-weave covers resist the effects of oil, heat, ozone, weather, and aging.
The maintenance-free gearbox features a large oil and grease reservoir that helps provide efficient heat dissipation and improved lubrication for longer service life. Internal baffles and a constant-seating stress flange gasket ensure positive, leak-free venting. The rugged gearbox enclosure is precision-milled for precise alignment of horizontal and vertical bases and features precision helical gears that operate much more smoothly and quietly than typical spur gear transmissions. High-strength, oversized worms and worm gears are straddle-mounted between heavy-duty tapered roller bearings, providing rugged dependability.
The updated 3 HP electric motor (208-240V / 50/60Hz) features the best of proven technologies, including rugged copper rotor construction, high-quality bearings, thermal-cool epoxy insulation, and durable rolled steel frames.
Simple foot-pedal control puts power at your feet. Durable forged steel (instead of cast iron) foot pedal levers will stand up to everyday use and abuse in high-volume tire centers. Snap action spring return means precise and controlled operation. Foot-pedal control valves feature multi-link rod connections for non-binding plunger movement and precise bilateral control.
The multi-function mount and demount head is crafted from hardened alloy steel and has a unique equi-dimensional shape that allows you to perform all changing functions with the tool head in the same position. The micro-smooth tool head surface glides tire beads effortlessly during mounting and demounting procedures to ensure costly tire damage is minimized.
A rigid 45mm spring-assisted hexagonal vertical tool shaft, combined with a hardened-steel horizontal outrigger support arm, maintains perfect position of the mount-demount tool head during all tire service procedures to reduce the chance of expensive wheels getting damaged. All moving parts feature maintenance-free linear guide bearings for easy adjustment of both vertical and horizontal wheel settings. The non-flex horizontal arm also features a hardened lower roller guide for smooth and controlled in-and-out movement. Integrated rubber bump-stops ensure smooth return during tilt-back operations to help reduce shock loading and minimize wear on tower guides and moving parts.
The foot-controlled tire inflator is simple to use and features foot-pedal operation with an inflation hose equipped with a sure-grip clip-on valve chuck, enabling hands-free operation. An integrated air pressure dump valve enables you to lower tire pressure with a simple push of a button. The system includes an inflation gauge with integrated air dump valve and an inflation pressure regulator/limiter for safe, controlled inflation.
TurboBlast™ bead seating is Ranger's renowned system that blasts a powerful air burst between the tire and rim to help seat stubborn beads fast. A durable, non-marring nylon discharge barrel features a contoured tab that locks securely on the edge of the rim for better control during air discharge between the tire and wheel. A welded-steel, eight-gallon surge tank is larger than competitive models for all the inflation power you need, when you need it.
