INFLATING TIRES WITH GT SYSTEM
The GT inflating system facilitates inflation of tubeless tires to a powerful jet of air from the nozzle
positioned on the clamps.
During this phase of work, the level of noise can reach 85db (A). It is advisable
to use hearing plugs or similar protection.
•
Lock the wheel on the turntable and connect the inflating head to the tire valve.
•
Make a last check to be certain that tire and rim diameter correspond.
•
Check to be certain that rim and beads are sufficiently lubricated. If necessary, lubricate some
more.
•
Press the pedal down to intermediate position (B – Fig. 21)
•
If the bead of tire is not well seated, due to a strong bead, lift tire manually until the upper bead
seats against the rim, then press pedal all the way down (C-Fig. 21). A strong a i r - jet will
be released through the nozzles in the slides and this will help the bead seal.
•
Release the tires; set the pedal in the intermediate position (B – Fig. 21) and continue to inflate
the tire with short inputs of air and constantly checking the pressure between air inputs until the
required pressure has been reached.
EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Never exceed 3.5 bar (51 psi) when seating beads or inflating tires.
If a higher inflating pressure is required remove the wheel from turntable
and continue the inflating procedure inside a special protection cage
(commercially available).
Never exceed the max. inflating pressure given by the tire manufacturer.
ALWAYS keep hands and body back from the tire being inflated.
ONLY trained personnel are allowed to perform these operations. Do not
allow other persons to operate or to stay near the tire changer.
