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. Exces-
sive 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. On most tires, the pressure regulator will
cease air flow at approximately 60 PSI. On smaller
volume tires the pressure may be higher.
4. Important: When inflating 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.
If you change tires defined as truck tires, they
must be inflated per OSHA instructions.

Explosion Hazard
Never exceed 40 PSI
