Tyre inflator connection
!
Only use the tyre inflator connection
for inflating tyres.
As far as possible do not charge the
compressed-air system via the tyre in-
flator connection. The compressed air
is then neither cleaned nor dried. Pres-
sure protection is not provided via the
pressure regulator.
Risk of injury

If you inflate tyres to an excessive pressure
they can explode.
In order to inflate tyres, reduce charge pres-
sure in the compressed-air system to ap-
proximately 6 bar.
Do not exceed a maximum tyre inflation
pressure of 10 bar. The tyres can explode.
