4.2.8.3 Tire inflation
Inflate tires through an air bleed valve of a pressure regulator 1 (Figure 4.2.2), for this
do the following:
- let air out of a balloon 3 of the pneumatic system through a condensate removing
valve;
- unscrew a winged nut 2 of the air bleed valve cap;
- connect a pipe to inflate tires to the air bleed valve cap and to a tire valve;
- start the engine and inflate the tire to reach a required pressure, controlling it with a
pressure gage;
- detach the pipe from the tire valve and from the air bleed valve cap;
- screw the winged nut back on the air bleed valve cap.
ATTENTION: AS PRESSURE IN THE BALLOON GOES UP TO 0.77 MPA, THE COM-
PRESSOR IS SWITCHED TO IDLE RUNNING BY THE PRESSURE REGULATOR AND TIRE
INFLATION STOPS AUTOMATICALLY. FOR THIS REASON CHECK THE PRESSURE OVER
THE INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD FROM TIME TO TIME AND, IF NECESSARY, RE-
DUCE IT THROUGH THE CONDENSATE REMOVING VALVE!
1 – pressure regulator; 2 – winged nut; 3 – balloon of the pneumatic system.
