C. Place the Nozzle against the rim edge (Fig.
4.3-1).
ATTENTION!
WHEN OPERATING THE BEAD SEATER WEAR SAFETY
ATTIRE TO AVOID INJURY TO BODY OR EYES.
D. Press the inflation pedal (1 Fig. 4.3-2) and the
button (3) on the Nozzle. The injectors (4) eject a
large volume of air and the tyre beads properly
seal the rim flanges allowing the subsequent
inflation.
E. Complete inflation as described at the beginning
of this section.
4.3 Inflation of Tubeless Tires
Make sure that both beads are properly
lubricated.
WARNING
BEAD SEATING IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PART OF
MOUNTING A TIRE.
IT IS DANGEROUS TO MOUNT TIRES THAT ARE 1/2"
SMALLER IN DIAMETER THAN THE RIM 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.
Inflate tire according to manufacturers
recommendations.
WARNING
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE
ALLOWED BY THE TIRE MANUFACTURER.
THE RIM MUST BE UNCLAMPED IMMEDIATELY
WHEN INFLATING AFTER BEADS HAVE BEEN SEATED.
THE OPERATOR MUST STAND CLEAR FROM THE
WHEEL WHEN INFLATING, AND PRESSURE MUST BE
MONITORED FREQUENTLY TO AVOID OVER-INFLATION.
BEFORE INFLATING A TIRE, CHECK THE CONDITION
OF TIRE AND RIM.
Due to unusual configurations or the stacking
of tires the inflation process is sometimes difficult.
To assist with this problem the HOFMANN 1520
is equipped with bead seater Nozzle lance with push
button.
To utilize the bead seater proceed as follows:
(monty 1520 only)
A. If possible lock the wheel from inside. Outside
locking reduces efficiency.
NOTE:
Use Light alloy rim protector to prevent any
possible damage to the rim when
operating on light alloy rims.
B. Connect the inflation hose
(2 Fig. 4.3-2)
to the
valve stem.
