5.2 INFLATING TUBE-TYPE TIRES.
Make sure that both beads are properly lubricated.
BEFORE INFLATING A TIRE, CHECK THE CONDITION
OF THE TIRE AND THE RIM.
BEAD SEATING IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PART
OF MOUNTING A TIRE.
NEVER STAND OVER TIRE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO
SEAT BEADS OR DURING INFLATION.
IT IS POSSIBLE TO MOUNT TIRES THAT ARE 1/2”
SMALLER IN DIAMETER THAN THE RIM THAT THEY
ARE MOUNTED ON. WHILE THESE BEADS WILL
SEAL, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THEM TO SEAT IN
THEIR PROPER POSITION.
EXPLOSION OF A TIRE MAY CAUSE SEVERE INJURY
OR DEATH.
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE
ALLOWED BY THE TIRE MANUFACTURER.
THE RIM MUST BE UN-CLAMPED WHEN INFLATING.
THE OPERATOR MUST STAND CLEAR FROM THE
WHEEL WHEN INFLATING, AND PRESSURE MUST
BE MONITORED FREQUENTLY TO AVOID OVER
INFLATION.
To infl ate the tire unlock the rim and start infl ating while
pressing the valve towards the inside (this is necessary
to avoid air pockets forming between tube and the tire)
(Fig. 5.2-1).
