To seal Low Profile or difficult beads, use the Turbo Blast
to seal the bead.
1. To Open the Slide Valve, PUSH the Slide Valve
Forward.
2. To Close PULL the Slide Valve closed.
(See Fig. 16.7)
3. Position the Turbo-Blast Nozzle to direct air towards the
Rim Center just under the Rim lip. (See Fig. 16.8)
4. Depress inflation pedal and open the Turbo-Blast Valve
The blast of air from the Turbo Blast Nozzle will expand tire
and seal the beads.
5. Release the inflation pedal. Verify that both beads are
completely sealed to the wheel. Repeat these steps if beads
have not sealed. It may be necessary to wait a few seconds
for the air storage tank to recover before attempting again.
If tire and wheel are properly lubricated and operator can-
not achieve bead seal after a few attempts, the valve core
should be removed from the valve stem to allow more air
flow into the tire to assist with bead seal. After bead seal is
achieved, remove the chuck and reinstall the valve core.
