Injection
CAUTION
• When a calcium chloride solution is used, cool it before
pouring it into the tire.
• Do not fill tires with water or solution more than 75 % of full
capacity (to the valve stem level).
The following four ways can be used to inject water or a calcium
chloride solution into tires.
1. Gravity injection (Fig. 1)
2. Pump injection (Fig. 2)
3. Pressure tank injection (Fig. 3)
4. Injection directly from top (only when water is being used).
NOTE
• Once injection is completed, reset the air valve, and pump
air into the tire to the specified pressure.
