MANUALLY CHECKING, INFLATING AND DEFLATING TIRES - Continued
NOTE
•
Tire inflator/gauge must clamp securely to air valve with no leaks for
pressure reading to be accurate.
•
Trajectory area as shown applies to all wheel/tire assemblies.
7. Push latch handle (9) on tire inflator/gauge (2) inward while pushing onto air valve (8).
Release latch handle, and immediately step out of the trajectory area. Read tire air
