Model: Kit 8184045, Robo Arm

Type: Operating instructions

Coats Kit 8184045, Robo Arm, is an innovative tool designed to enhance the functionality of COATS Model Series Tire Changers. With its robust construction and user-friendly features, the Robo Arm empowers you to perform tire servicing tasks with greater efficiency and precision.

At the heart of the Robo Arm is a powerful pneumatic cylinder that provides ample force to assist in various tire-handling operations. The arm's articulated design allows for a wide range of motion, enabling you to access tires at different angles and positions.

The Robo Arm comes equipped with a versatile bead roller assist tool, which can be conveniently attached to the "Bead Loosener Arm." This tool is ideal for assisting in the removal of stubborn tire beads, making the tire changing process smoother and less labor-intensive.

1. Before beginning any work, clear the area and

position the machine for easy access. Disconnect all

power sources, both air and electricity inputs. Allow

any stored air in the reservoir to escape by depress-

ing the inflate valve.

2. Verify the stored air pressure is zero by observ-

ing the air pressure gauge on top of the tower. (see

photo). Next with a 11/16-inch socket wrench remove

the manifold with the gauge and safety valve.

3. Next install the included manifold with the

gauge and safety valve plus a barbed hose fitting.

Tighten until the barbed fitting is located as shown in

photo.

4. Next, remove the nut on the bolt supporting the

swing arm pivot system. With the new long bolt

(103/4-inches) push the old bolt out with the new bolt.

Make sure the small washer is on the head of the

new bolt.

5. Next, install the large plated spacer, the swing

arm (note position of the decal) with pivot pin spacer,

and the lock nut. Next, using large wrenches, tighten

the assembly to 240 ft. pounds torque (very tight).

Even though the bolt is very tight, the assembly

should rotate easy.

6. Next, locate arm with cylinder, install seven inch

bolt with head through the bottom side, slide pivot

pin over bolt and attach nut with only one turn.

7. Slide the cylinder arm through the swing arm

bushing, hold in position, remove nut and place

washer over bolt threads and assemble nut to bolt.

8. Next using large wrenches, tighten the assem-

bly to 240 ft. pound torque (very tight). Again, even

though the bolt is very tight, the assembly should be

free to rotate.

9. Next, unwrap the red hose from valve, guide

through hose clamps; and, with the hose pushed

over the barbed fitting, tighten the screw type hose

clamp.

Next, reconnect the air pressure source and check

for leaks. Cycle the cylinder on the Robo-Arm™ sev-

eral times to understand function.

10. For installing bead roller assist tool, attach the

rectangular tube in the kit to the “Bead Loosener

Arm”. Use the existing hole in the bead loosener

arm. Position the tube at a slight angle and tighten.

11. Next will be the installation of the duckhead

bracket. Start by removing the bolt in the bottom of

the vertical slide bar. This bolt is very tight; use cau-

tion when loosening.

12. Next install the bracket to the vertical slide

using the hex bolt; discard the washer. Note that the

metal duckhead is shown; the plastic duckhead can

be substituted for the metal duckhead.
