SECTION 14
MOUNTING TUBE TYPE TIRES
1. Lubricate the beads and rim liberally.
2. Position the Mount/ Demount Head and bead lifting tool
as described earlier. Mount the bottom bead first.
3. Round out the tube with a small amount of air. Avoid
pinching or forcing the tube. Apply rubber lubricant to the
tube.
4. Insert the tube into the tire paying careful attention not
to pinch the tube.
5. Depress the Table Top Pedal and rotate only a short
distance at a time. This allows you to stop the process
should you suspect the tube is getting pinched.
6. Mount the top bead.
SECTION 15
INFLATION PROCEDURES
Tire inflation is performed in four steps: Restraint, Bead
Seal, Bead Seat, and Inflation. Read the explanation
of each step and understand them thoroughly before
proceeding.
INFLATION PEDAL OPERATION
The Inflation Pedal located at the center of the left side
WARNING!
Do not force the tire onto the rim.
Bead damage could result making the tire unsafe
and/or creating the risk of injury.
DANGER!
Check inflation gauge for proper operation. Accurate
pressure readings are important to safe tire inflation.
Refer to the Operating Maintenance section of this
manual for instructions. If the rim has been clamped
from the outside for tire mounting, release the
clamps once bead seal is obtained, lift the tire, and
move the clamps to the center of the table top.
WARNING!
Tire failure under pressure is hazardous. This tire
changer is not intended to be a safety device to
contain exploding tires, tubes, wheels, or bead
sealing equipment. Inspect tire and wheel carefully
for match, wear, or defects before mounting. Always
use approved tire bead lubricant during mounting
and inflation. The Inflation Pedal, located at the center
of the left side of the machine, controls the flow of air
through the Inflation Hose.
DANGER!
The clip-on air chuck on the end of the Inflation
Hose and all inflation related components should be
checked weekly for proper operation. DO NOT USE
this machine for tire inflation if any parts are
damaged or appear not in proper working order.
