SECTION ONE
From all of us at TSI thank you for purchasing your Tire Siping Machine. The important operating & maintenance
instructions contained here will ensure your Siper operates dependably for many years to come. This manual will
provide the proper instructions for setting up, using and maintaining your siper.
When receiving your Siper after shipment, take a moment to look it over,
although shipping damage is highly unusual now is a good time to note the
condition it has arrived in.
To unpack, pull the pin and swing the expandable hub assembly out of the way
(STE-M-only)
SET UP & SAFETY
For overseas units, the siper will be crated. Cut the bands. Remove the
sidewalls and top of the crate. Unbolt the unit from the pallet and remove. The
accessories and rims will be banded to the unit, cut the bands and remove from
the unit.
When working near or around the blade take care to position the blade away
from you. Cut and remove the straps holding the hood down. Lift the hood.

TIRE SIPING MACHINE
SET UP - BASIC REQUIREMENTS
SECTION TWO
You will need an air supply that can supply 90 PSI of air
and access to an electrical power source with at least a 30
AMP rating. For your air connection, a male couple will be
needed and make sure to have some Teflon tape to help
seal the connection airtight. Finally, you will need some
chalk to make marks on the tires you are going to sipe.
Operate the unit on a clean, level, non-slip surface. The
approximate work area should measure at least 3 feet
from the foot print of the machine, this distance is the
minimum recommended for non-operators in proximity to
the machine. The machine's foot print of 66"L X 48" W x
50" H. The shipping weight is 1050 lbs.
To transport the machine ensure the hood is down, the
hub is in its stored position and the lock pin on the hub is
in place.
LUBRICATION
To gain access to the
inside of your siper
move the wheel mount
assembly from its
operational position on
the side of the siper
To cool the cutting
blade and lubricate the
tire, mix 1 part silicone
lubricant (part# 2.029)
to 16 parts water and fill
the mist unit supply
container. Insert hose
and secure. Engage the
mister at the time of
engaging the blade on
the tire.
POWER CORD
Extend the power cord out
the back of the cabinet to
prevent it from being dam-
aged by the stops on the
hood. Position cord away
from walkways, a nylon tied
down may help to keep
excess cord away from walk
ways to prevent trip hazards.
If you need to use an extension cord, it needs
to be a heavy-duty extension cord, use a
heavy-duty 30 amp power strip to plug into.
DO NOT plug the siper in until you are ready
to sipe.
AIR SUPPLY
Install correct air hose fitting.
(See arrow.) Use Teflon tape to prevent air leakage. Use
correct size wrenches if available to grip fittings properly
when tightening. The moisture trap has a view glass.
Set the air regulator to 90 PSI.
Remember to wear recommend PPE
(Personal Protective Equipment)
when working with the siper.
The drip pan should be installed to collect any run-off
lubricant. All lubricant run off, rags and materials should be
disposed of according to local environmental regulations.
Please see the appendix or our website for the Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) on the siper lubricant.
Proper Personal Protection Equipment for the operation and
maintenance of this machine includes gloves, eye, ear,
inhalation, and foot protection. The A-Weighted Sound
Pressure Level at work station measured at 79.8 dB(A).

screw with a minimum of 1
or 2/32 less than the low
spot on the tire, 5/32 and
7/32 for used tires, 9/32
for most new passenger tires, 11/32 for most new light truck
tires, and 13/32 for big truck tires
(20" to 24.5"}.

There is an Allen wrench to
fit every set screw on the
machine. The sizes provided
are: 1/4, 5/32, 1/8 and 3/32.
Set screws are on the motor

The machine will vibrate
some when using it.
(See section 6 for vibration
maintenance procedures)
TOOL BOX
Introduction
The tool box that comes with your Siper contains a variety
of tools that you'll use through out the daily operation and
maintenance of your new Siper.
BLADE GUIDES
The siper has two blade
guides supplied with it:
250/1000 for passenger
and light trucks tires
and 400/1000 for big
trucks (20" to 24.5"}.
Guides of 300/1000
and 350/1000 are
available as an option.
SIPING BLADES
One dozen spare
blades come with the
siper.
FILE

SECTION FOUR
LEVELING SCREWS
Leveling screws to mount
on the front legs of the
Siper to adjust any rocking
of the Siper are also
included.
SPANNER WRENCH
The spanner wrench is used
to loosen the lead screws for
changing the blade guide or
the lead screws themselves.
To see how this is done
turn to page 11.
NOTE: Only hand tighten the
lead screw. Never use the
spanner wrench to tighten the
lead screw.
The type of tires that can be siped will depend on the Siper
model you own.
SP
The SP Siper is designed for mounted tires only and the sizes
are limited to passenger car/light truck.
ST
The ST is also designed for mounted tires only but has a wider
arrange of tire sizes from 12” to 24.5”.
STE-M
The STE-M is designed to sipe both non-mounted and
wheel-mounted tires with sizes ranging from passenger
car/light truck to heavy truck tires. Typically brand new tires are
unmounted and you will find that this will be the predominant
way in which you'll sipe tires. For situations such as this the
mounting process will be tailored for the expandable hub.
The second method is reserved for wheel-mounted tires and
for this situation you'll be swinging the expandable hub aside
(STE-M only) and using the wheel-mount adapters that come
with your siper (STE-M, ST and SP).
• Size up the load, ask for help if needed.
• Lifting loads heavier than 50 lbs will increase the risk of injury.
• Lift items close to your body from a low position
• Lift using your legs
• Carry the load close to your body from mid- thigh to mid-chest
• Avoid twisting, reaching or turning
• Information acquired from the US Dept. of Labor: Materials
Handling guidelines.
Use proper lifting techniques when
using the Sipers
EXPANDABLE HUB (STE-M ONLY)
MOUNTING
To reduce the risk of injury, seek lifting assistance from a
coworker when lifting larger tires on the expanding rim.
If your Siper is equipped with the wheel lift feature please
see page 24 for instructions.
Pull the retaining pin
to swing the expandable
hub and rim assembly
out. Remember to
always use proper lifting
techniques.
Set the tire on the
expandable rim. Swing
it back in and insert
pin.
