STAGE FOUR / TIRE INFLATION
1. Make sure both beads are seated. When both beads
are seated, the tire is ready for inflation.
2. Replace the valve core if it was removed.
3. Depress the inflation pedal to position two to inflate the
tire.
DO NOT STAND OVER TIRE DURING INFLATION.
4. Do not inflate the tire above the manufacturer’s
recommended pressure as stamped on the tire
sidewall. The typical inflation pressure for automobile tires
is between 24 and 45 PSI. Light truck inflation pressure
typically covers a wider range. Release air pressure from
the tire by pressing the manual release valve button.
WARNING!
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE FREQUENTLY. NEVER
EXCEED 40 PSI WHILE SEATING BEADS. ONCE
SEATED, NEVER EXCEED TIRE MANUFACTURER’S
RECOMMENDED AIR PRESSURE. TIRES CAN
EXPLODE, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE INFLATED
BEYOND THEIR LIMITS. AT ALL PRESSURE
LEVELS, WHEN INFLATING THROUGH THE VALVE
STEM; KEEP HANDS, ARMS, AND ENTIRE BODY
AWAY FROM INFLATING TIRE.
AN EXPLODING TIRE, WHEEL OR BEAD SEATING
EQUIPMENT MAY PROPEL UPWARD AND
OUTWARD WITH SUFFICIENT FORCE TO CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO OPERATOR OR
BYSTANDER.
MIS-MATCHED TIRES AND WHEELS
NEVER ATTEMPT TO MOUNT MIS-MATCHED
TIRES AND WHEELS. MIS-MATCHED TIRE AND
WHEEL COMBINATIONS CAN EXPLODE, CAUSING
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO OPERATOR
AND BYSTANDERS. FOR SAFETY, DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO MOUNT AND INFLATE MIS-MATCHED
TIRES AND WHEELS.
DANGER!
NEVER INCREASE AIR PRESSURE TO EXCEED
40 PSI WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SEAT BEAD. IF
OPERATOR IS UNABLE TO OBTAIN BEAD SEAT,
SOMETHING IS WRONG. DEFLATE TIRE
COMPLETELY, INSPECT TIRE AND WHEEL;
CORRECT ANY PROBLEMS FOUND,
RE-LUBRICATE BOTH BEADS AND REATTEMPT
BEAD SEAL AND SEAT PROCEDURES. FOLLOW
ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL.
DANGER!
IMPORTANT
When inflating tires that require more than 60
PSI, always use a safety cage and air hose with
a clip-on air chuck and in-line valve. The hose
must have enough length between the chuck
and the operation/in-line valve to allow the
operator to stand outside the trajectory.
THE INFLATION PRESSURE LIMITER IS
PRE-SET AT THE FACTORY AND SHOULD NEED
NO ADJUSTMENT. ADJUST ONLY IF PRESSURE
EXCEEDS 60 PSI.
Operating a tire changer with a defective,
improperly adjusted, or by-passed pressure limiter
could result in a tire explosion with severe injury or
death to the operator or bystanders. Always be sure
that the pressure limiter is operating properly on
the machine at all times. Pressure limiter is set at 60
PSI. Any required inflation above 60 PSI should be
performed in an inflation chamber/safety cage.
A tire explosion may cause personal injury or death
to operator or bystanders.
