STAGES OF INFLATION
Review the following descriptions and diagrams carefully.
Refer to them as necessary during wheel restraint, bead
sealing, bead seating, and inflation to verify that you are
proceeding properly and safely.
STAGE ONE / WHEEL RESTRAINTS
As an added safety precaution, a wheel restraint devise has
been added to protect operators during tire inflation.
1. Raise the left helper and support assembly and insert the
restraint devise as shown. (See Fig. 1)
2. Make sure the restraint tool is centered in the center hub
of the wheel then press down on the left hand control valve.
(See Fig. 2-3)
STAGE TWO / BEAD SEALING
1. Position valve stem in front of operator and connect the
inflation hose. (See Fig. 4)
2. Hold tire up against upper edge of the wheel. Be sure tires
top bead is over the bottom of the valve stem. (See Fig. 5)
3. Depress inflation pedal to position two and hold about one
second to begin air flow through tire valve, then depress pedal
to position three and hold briefly – less than 1 full second. The
blast of air from the jets will expand tire and seal the beads.
(See Fig. 6-7)
Check the function of the pressure
limiter regularly and maintain it according to the
instructions provided in this manual for safe and
proper operation. Do not tamper with or attempt
to adjust the pressure limiter. Tires requiring
inflation beyond 60 PSI should only be inflated in
a safety cage.
This devise is a restraint devise only. It will not
protect operators in the event of catastrophic tire/
wheel rupture or failure. Always use extreme cau-
tion during the inflation procedure. As an added
safety precaution, safety cages that conform to
OSHA standard 1910.177 are recommended.
Hold the restraint tool firmly in place when
installing and/or removing from the left helper
assembly. The unit can drop suddenly to the floor.
Be sure to keep feet clear at all times.
