5.2 INFLATING TUBE-TYPE TIRES.
Make sure that both beads are properly lubricated.
BEAD SEATING IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PART OF
MOUNTING A TIRE.
NEVER STAND OVER TIRE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SEAT
BEADS OR DURING INFLATION
IT IS POSSIBLE TO MOUNT TIRES THAT ARE 1/2”
SMALLER IN DIAMETER THAN THE RIM THAT THEY
ARE MOUNTED ON. WHILE THESE BEADS WILL SEAL,
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THEM TO SEAT IN THEIR
PROPER POSITION.
EXPLOSION OF A TIRE MAY CAUSE SEVERE INJURY
OR DEATH.
SAFETY RESTRAINT ARM MUST BE IN PLACE PRIOR
TO ATTEMPTING BEAD SEATING OR INFLATION.
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE ALLOWED
BY THE TIRE MANUFACTURER.
THE RIM MUST BE UNCLAMPED WHEN INFLATING BUT
ONLY AFTER THE BEADS HAVE BEEN SEATED.
THE OPERATOR MUST STAND CLEAR FROM THE WHE-
EL WHEN INFLATING, AND PRESSURE MUST BE MONI-
TORED FREQUENTLY TO AVOID OVER INFLATION.
BEFORE INFLATING A TIRE, CHECK THE CONDITION
OF THE TIRE AND THE RIM.
To infl ate the tire unlock the rim and start infl ating while pres-
sing the valve towards the inside (this is necessary to avoid
air pockets forming between tube and the tire) (Fig.26).
Ensure that the tire is correctly centered on the rim and
complete infl ation.
6.0 MOUNTING AND DEMOUNTING MOTORCYCLE
TIRES
To mount and demount motorcycle tires it is necessary to
utilize the optional four motorcycle adaptors (part number
87435).
The bead-breaking, mounting and demounting technique is
the same as per the car, tubeless or tube-type tires.
NOTICE!
MOTORCYCLE RIMS MUST ALWAYS BE CLAMPED
FROM THE OUTSIDE. AIR PRESSURE MUST NOT EX-
CEED 110 PSI (8 BAR) WHEN CLAMPING MOTORCYCLE
RIMS.
