Important: Always read and follow the operating instructions.

Inflation
NEVER exceed tire manufacturer's recom-
mended air pressure. Tires can explode,
especially if inflated beyond these limits.
Use clip-on air chuck, keep hands, arms and
entire body back from inflating tire. Avoid
distraction during inflation. Check tire pres-
sure frequently to avoid over inflation.
Excessive pressure can cause tires to
explode, causing serious injury or death to
operator or bystander.
1.
Make sure both beads are seated. When both
beads are seated, the tire is ready for inflation.
2.
Replace the valve core if it was removed.
3.
Depress the inflation pedal to position 2 to inflate
the tire. The pressure limiter will cycle the air flow as
described earlier. On most tires, the pressure limiter
will cease air flow at approximately 60 PSI. On smaller
volume tires the pressure may be higher.
4.
Release air pressure from tire by pressing the
manual release valve button (inflation hose must be
attached to the valve stem, Figure 22). Never add or
adjust tire pressure using an air hose without a clip-on
air chuck and in-line valve. Do not use a hand-held style
chuck (figure 23).
5.
Important:
When inflating automotive, light truck,
and motorcycle (ATV see note 6) tires that require
more than 60 PSI, always use a safety cage and air
hose with a clip-on air chuck and in-line valve. The air
hose must have enough length between the chuck and
the operation/in-line valve to allow the operator to
stand outside the trajectory.
6.
ATV Tire Inflation:
ATV tire inflation is unique in
that the bead seat pressure allowed is more than the
operating pressure. ALWAYS follow the tire manufac-
turer’s information on inflation. This information can be
printed on the sidewall, on the tire sticker, or from the
manufacturer.
