Troubleshooting
Duck head does not fit the tire machine.
Verify that your tire machine model is listed under the compatibility section and that you are using the correct replacement part number (e.g., John Bean 24335, Snap On 24335).
Tire bead is still getting damaged.
Ensure the duck head is correctly positioned and that the machine's arm is properly adjusted. Check for any burrs or damage on the remaining part of the tire machine arm that might be causing contact.
Duck head feels loose during operation.
Re-check all mounting bolts and ensure they are securely tightened. Do not overtighten, as this could damage the plastic, but ensure there is no play.
Plastic appears worn after minimal use.
Inspect the tire you are working on for any sharp edges or debris. Ensure the tire machine is operating within its intended parameters and not applying excessive force or pressure.
