16 • Important: Always read and follow operating instructions.
Bead Seating
NEVER exceed 40 PSI to seat beads while
using this tire changer. If more than 40 PSI is
permitted by tire manufacturer, ALWAYS use
safety cage and clip-on chuck. NEVER exceed
recommended pressure after seating beads.
ALWAYS keep hands and entire body back
from inflating tire.
An exploding tire, wheel, or bead sealing
equipment may propel upward and outward
with sucient force to cause serious injury or
death to operator or bystander.
Check tire pressure frequently. If operator
is unable to obtain bead seat, something is
wrong. Deflate tire completely, inspect tire
and wheel, correct any problems found, re-
lubricate both tire beads, and reattempt bead
seal and seat procedures. Follow all safety
instructions in this manual and on machine.
1. Once tire pressure is indicated on the air gauge
(inflation pedal in position 1; foot removed from
pedal), continue to inject air into the tire (inflation
pedal position 2) in short intervals. Check the pressure
frequently. Stand back during bead seat. Keep hands,
arms, and entire body away from tire during this pro-
cedure (figure 23).
Tire beads should move outward and “pop” into
their bead seat position as pressure inside the tire
increases. If this does not happen, a problem exists.
Investigate carefully.
