7.2 Inflating tyres with GT system (optional)
The GT inflation system facilitates inflation of tubeless tyres thanks to a powerful jet of air from the nozzles positioned on the
clamps.
During this phase of work the level of noise can reach 85db (A). It is advisable to use a noise protection.
•Lock the wheel on the turntable and connect the inflation head to the tyre valve.
• Make a last check to be certain that tyre and rim diameter correspond.
•Check to be certain that rim and beads are sufficiently lubricated. If necessary lubricate some more.
•Press the pedal down to intermediate position (B - Fig. 21).
•If the bead of tyre is not well seated, due to a strong bead, lift tyre manually until the upper bead seals against the rim, then
press pedal all the way down (C - Fig, 21). A strong jet of air will be released through the nozzles in the slides and this will
help the bead seal.
•Release the tyre; set the pedal in the intermediate position (B - Fig. 21) and continue to inflate the tyre with short jets of air and
constantly checking the pressure between air jets until the required pressure has been reached.
EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Never exceed 3.5 bar (51 PSI) when seating beads or inflating tyres.
If a higher inflating pressure is required remove the wheel from turntable and continue the
inflation procedure inside a special protection cage (commercially available)
NEVER exceed the max. inflating pressure given by the tyre manufacturer
ALWAYS keep hands and body back from inflating tyre
ONLY specially trained personnel are allowed to perform these operations. Do not allow other
persons to operate or to stay near the tyre changer.
