SECTION 14
MOUNTING TUBE TYPE TIRES
1. Lubricate the beads and rim liberally.
2. Position the Mount/ Demount Head (Duckhead) and
bead lifting tool as described earlier. Mount the bottom
bead first.
3. Round out the tube with a small amount of air. Avoid
pinching or forcing the tube. Apply rubber lubricant to the
tube.
4. Insert the tube into the tire paying careful attention not
to pinch the tube.
5. Depress the Table Top Pedal and rotate only a short
distance at a time. This allows you to stop the process
should you suspect the tube is getting pinched.
6. Mount the top bead.
SECTION 15
INFLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Tire inflation is performed in Three Stages: Bead Seal,
Bead Seat, and Inflation. Read the explanation of each
step and understand them thoroughly before proceeding.
INFLATION GUN OPERATION
The Inflation Gun located checks air pressure in the tire;
controls the flow of air through the Inflation Hose and
releases air pressure in the tire. (See Fig. 15.1)
Tire Pressure
– With the Inflation Hose attached to the
tire valve the air gauge will register the air pressure in
the tire.
Tire Inflation
– With the Inflation Hose attached to the tire
valve, pulling the trigger allows line pressure to flow through
the valve and into the tire for inflation. (See Fig. 15.2)
Pressure Release
– With the Inflation Hose attached to the
tire, pressing the Pressure Release Valve will release air
pressure from the tire.
DANGER!
Check inflation gauge for proper operation. Accurate
pressure readings are important to safe tire inflation.
Refer to the Operating Maintenance section of this
manual for instructions. If the rim has been clamped
from the outside for tire mounting, release the
clamps once bead seal is obtained, lift the tire, and
move the clamps to the center of the table top.
WARNING!
Tire failure under pressure is hazardous. This tire
changer is not intended to be a safety device to
contain exploding tires, tubes, wheels, or bead
sealing equipment. Inspect tire and wheel carefully
for match, wear, or defects before mounting. Always
use approved tire bead lubricant during mounting
and inflation. The Inflation Gun controls the flow of
air through the Inflation Hose.
DANGER!
The clip-on air chuck on the end of the Inflation
Hose and all inflation related components should be
checked weekly for proper operation. DO NOT USE
this machine for tire inflation if any parts are
damaged or appear not in proper working order.
