13.9 Special use of the bead-breaker
In addition to its use during mounting and demounting,
the bead-breaker roll can also be used for matching
the tyre to the rim. To conduct this operation carry out
the following instructions.
• Clamp the tyre between the bead breaker roll.
• Turn the mandrel clockwise until the reference point
on the tyre coincides with the reference point on the
rim (usually the valve) (see
Fig. 36
).

13.10 Tyre inflation with machine without
tubeless inflation
Connect the inflation device to the tyre valve and inflate
the same tyre using the pedal provided (
Fig. 14 ref. 2
).
A SAFETY DEVICE IS PRESENT
FOR THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE
MAXIMUM PRESSURE OF THE
SUPPLIED AIR (4,2 ± 0,2 BAR /
60 PSI).
Well lubricated beads and rims make the beading in
and inflation much safer and easier.
In case the beads are not seated at 4.2 ± 0.2 bar,
release all the air from the wheel, remove it from the
tyre changer and put it in a safety cage to complete
the inflation procedure.
13.11 Tyre inflation with machine with tube-
less inflation
Some types of tyres can be difficultly inflated if the
beads are not in contact with the rim. The tubeless
inflation device supplies a jet of high-pressure air from
the nozzle, which encourages the correct positioning
of the bead against the rim, and therefore normal
inflation.
In order to carry out the inflation of the tyre follow
these indications:
• Remove the valve stem core.
Removing the valve stem core will allow the tyre to
inflate faster and the bead to seat easier.
• Connect the inflation terminal to the valve of the tyre.
TO IMPROVE THE EFFECTIVE-
NESS OF TUBELESS INFLATION
SYSTEM, ALWAYS LUBRICATE
TYRE BEADS.
• Press the bead blaster hose on the wheel rim as
shown in
Fig. 37
. Ensure the hose head is pressed
in to activate the additional air jet.
THE NOZZLE SHOULD BE HORI-
ZONTAL FOR OPTIMAL PERFOR-
MANCE (FIG. 37).
