Firmly hold Cheetah® tank as shown in Fig. 12. Lean forward slightly to hold it in position. Point
the threaded barrel down into the tire as shown in Fig. 13. Usually this is a 45 degree angle, but
will vary from one tire to another. Open valve on air hose.
Gather your footing, hold one hand onto the Cheetah® handle and the other on the discharge
valve lever. Fully open the discharge valve lever quickly releasing all the air into the tire, lifting
the bead. See Fig 11-A.
Once the bead fully moves into position close the air supply valve. Remove the hose locking
chuck from the valve stem and replace valve stem core. With experience you will recognize filling
the tank to capacity isn’t necessary. The amount of air to seat the bead depends on the tire. Most
tires can be seated between 40 PSI- 100 PSI. Several attempts to seat the bead may be necessary.
Make sure the valve stem core is firmly tightened in place. You are now ready to place the tire
into a tire cage and proceed to inflate the tire to manufacturer’s tire pressure requirements.
Check for leaks and if necessary repeat process. If none are present, place valve cap on valve stem
and wipe off excess lubricant.
Operational Instructions
NOTE:
It is not always necessary to fill the tank to maximum pressure. The required pressure
will vary depending on the size and type of tire. It is best to begin with lower pressure and work
up to optimum pressure for your specific tire.
Never exceed 120 PSI (Safety release valve is set to 120 PSI)
