Beading with the GP device
:
The machine can be provided with a GP device, neces-
sary for bead seating of tubeless tires.
(
Figure 4.3-2
)
•
If possible lock the wheel from inside. Outside locking
reduces effi ciency of the bead seater.
•
Connect the compressed air hose to the valve (
2
).
•
Lift the tire with both hands so that upper bead is sealed
to the rim edge (
Fig. 4.3-2
).
•
Press the infl ation pedal (
1
) down swiftly. The top
bead is already sealed by the lifting motion. The air
from the bead seater jets will rebound into the bot-
tom sidewall driving it into place and creating a seal.
STOP THE COMPRESSED AIR AS SOON AS THE
BEADS GRIP THE RIM WELL.
• Place the wheel in a type approved cage to fi nish
infl ating and completely settle the beads in their seats
on the rim.
