Ination
Tire inflation is performed in three steps: BEAD
SEAL, BEAD SEAT, and INFLATION. These steps are
explained in detail on page 18. Read the explanation
of each step and understand them thoroughly before
proceeding.
Tire failure under pressure is hazardous. This
tire changer Will Not Restrain Exploding Tires,
rims or other related equipment. Inspect tire
and wheel carefully for match, wear, dam-
age, or defects before mounting. Always use
approved tire bead lubricant during mounting
and inflation.
CAUTION
The clip-on chuck allows the operator to keep
hands and entire body back from inflating
tire. The chuck must be an open/freeflow
style with all parts in proper working order.
CAUTION
Check for proper inflation gauge operation.
Accurate pressure readings are important
to safe tire inflation. Refer to the Operat-
ing Maintenance section of this manual for
instructions.
CAUTION
If the rim has been clamped from the outside
for tire mounting, release the clamps, lift the
tire, and move the clamps to the center of the
table top.
CAUTION
If the wheel/tire has a diameter larger than
14-inches and is dicult to bead seal, the
clamps should be moved to the center of the
table top for the bead seal operation.
The inflation pedal, located at the rear of the left side
of the machine, controls the flow of air through the
inflation hose, and has three positions.
The clip-on chuck on the end of the hose
should always be an open/freeflow style with
all parts in proper working order.
Position 1 - Tire Pressure – With the inflation
hose attached to the tire valve and the pedal in this
position, the air gauge will register the air pressure
in the tire. Whenever your foot is removed from the
pedal, it will return to this position.
Position 2 - Tire Ination – This is the first acti-
vated position. With the inflation hose attached to the
tire valve and the pedal in this position, line pressure is
allowed to flow through the valve system and into the
tire for inflation. Correct tire pressure is not indicated
on the gauge in this position.
Position 3 - Bead Sealing – This is the second
and last activated position. With the inflation hose
attached to the tire valve and the pedal in this posi-
tion, line pressure is allowed to flow through the valve
and to the air-flate bead seal jets on the table top for
bead sealing.
1. If the rim has been clamped from the outside for
tire mounting, release the clamps, lift the tire, and
move the clamps to the center of the table top.
