Use of bead sealing jets without a tire in place
can cause dirt and debris to be blown into the
air with enough force to injure operator and/
or bystander. Do not use the bead sealing
control position to inflate a tire.
This unit is equipped with a pressure regulator
to assist the operator with proper tire inflation.
The pressure regulator will keep most car and
light truck tires from inflating beyond 60 PSI
(smaller tires may reach higher pressures). It is the
operator’s responsibility to follow all instructions
and to control inflation pressure as specified in
these instructions. Check the function of the pres-
sure regulator regularly and maintain it according
to the instructions provided in this manual for safe
and proper operation. Do not tamper with or
attempt to adjust the pressure regulator. Tires
requiring inflation beyond 60 PSI should be
inflated in a safety cage.
Bead Sealing
1. Remove the valve core from the valve stem to allow
more air flow into the tire to assist with bead seal.
2. Position valve stem in front of operator and con-
nect the inflation hose with the clip-on chuck. Hold
tire up against upper edge of the wheel. Be sure tire’s
top bead does not cover the bottom of the valve stem
(figure 22).

3. Depress inflation pedal to position 2 and hold
about one second to begin air flow through tire valve,
then depress pedal to position 3 and hold briefly —
less than one full second. The blast of air from the jets
will expand tire and seal the beads.
4. Release the inflation pedal and allow it to return
to position 1. Verify that both beads are completely
sealed to the wheel. Repeat these steps if beads have
not sealed. It may be necessary to wait a few seconds
for the air storage tank pressure to recover before
attempting again.
5. After bead seal is achieved, remove the clip-on
chuck and reinstall the valve core. Reattach the clip-
on chuck after core is installed.
