Tire inflation with machine without tubeless inflation
Connect the inflation device to the tire valve and inflate the same
tire using the pedal provided (Fig. 14 ref. B).
A SAFETY DEVICE IS PRESENT FOR THE AD-
JUSTMENT OF THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE OF
THE SUPPLIED AIR (4.2 ± 0.2 BAR / 60 ± 3 PSI).
Well lubricated beads and rims make the beading in and inflation
much safer and easier.
In case the beads are not seated at 4.2 ± 0.2 bar (60 ± 3 psi) release
all the air from the wheel, remove it from the tire changer and put it
in a safety cage to complete the inflation procedure.

Tire inflation with machine with tubeless inflation
Some types of tires can be difficultly inflated if the beads are not in
contact with the rim. The tubeless inflation device supplies a jet of
high-pressure air from the nozzle, which encourages the correct po-
sitioning of the bead against the rim, and therefore normal inflation.
In order to carry out the inflation of the tire follow these indications:
• Remove the valve stem core.
Removing the valve stem core will allow the tire to inflate faster
and the bead to seat easier.
• Connect the inflation terminal to the valve of the tire.
TO IMPROVE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TUBE-
LESS INFLATION SYSTEM, ALWAYS LUBRICATE
TIRE BEADS.
• Press the bead blaster pipe on the wheel rim as shown in Fig. 48.
Ensure the hose head is pressed in to activate the additional air
jet.
THE NOZZLE SHOULD BE HORIZONTAL FOR
OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE (FIG. 48).
Fig. 48
IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE AIR JET TO BREAK
BOTH BEADS, DO NOT KEEP THE BEAD LIFTED
FORCING IT.
• Press completely downwards the inflating pedal, in order to re-
lease a high pressure air jet through the tubeless inflation nozzle.
• Keep the inflating pedal partially pressed downwards to inflate
the tire and place the beads in their seats.
DO NOT EXCEED THE PRE-ARRANGED PRES-
SURE VALUES WHILE SEALING THE BEAD.
• After the beads take place in their own seat, disconnect the inflat-
ing terminal and install again the valve gear, that was removed
previously.
Then connect the inflating terminal and inflate the tire with the
required pressure.
IF THE TIRE GETS INFLATED TO MUCH, IT IS
POSSIBLE TO EXHAUST THE AIR FROM THE
TIRE, BY PUSHING THE MANUAL DEFLATING
PUSH BUTTON LOCATED UNDER THE PRES-
SURE GAUGE.
• Disconnect the inflation terminal from the valve.
