5.3 Beading the tires
Beading
means the initial grip of the tire bead on
the rim, in order to allow the
infl ation operations and
subsequent settling in the seat on the rim.
Safety Precautions:
WARNING:
DO NOT USE THE TIRE CHANGER TO
INFLATE TIRES.
COMPRESSED AIR DEVICES ON THE TIRE
CHANGER ARE ONLY DESIGNED TO FACILITATE
THE TUBELESS TIRE BEADING OPERATION OR
TO SETTLE THE INNER TUBE, ACCORDING TO
THE TYPE OF TIRE.
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE
ALLOWED BY THE TIRE MANUFACTURER.
THE OPERATOR MUST STAND safely CLEAR FROM
THE WHEEL WHEN BEADING the tire, AND
PRESSURE MUST BE MONITORED FREQUENTLY
TO AVOID EXCESSIVE PRESSURE.
BEFORE BEADING, CHECK THE CONDITION OF
TIRE AND RIM.
CHECK FOR CORRECT SEALING BETWEEN THE VALVE
AND THE FITTING AT THE END OF THE AIR HOSE.
AN AIR LEAK CAN GIVE INCORRECT PRESSURE
READINGS AND CREATE SAFETY HAZARDS
CHECK THAT THE READING ON THE PRESSURE
GAUGE IS “ZERO” WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE.
THE COMPLETE SEATING THE BEAD ON THE RIM
IS A VERY DANGEROUS STAGE OF THE TIRE
MOUNTING PROCEDURE.
TO COMPLETE THE BEADING OPERATION AND
INFLATE THE TIRE CORRECTLY, PLACE IT IN
AN APPROPRIATE TYPE APPROVED CAGE.
A TIRE BURST, WHATEVER ITS CAUSE, CAN
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
AVOID MOUNTING TIRES THAT ARE 1/2” SMALLER
IN DIAMETER THAN THE RIM, DOING SO FAILS
TO ENSURE THAT THE BEADS ARE SEALED
PROPERLY IN THEIR SEATS: THIS COULD BE
A SOURCE OF DANGER WHEN DRIVING.
