of the machine serves two different functions. It checks
air pressure in the tire; controls the flow of air through the
Inflation Hose. (See Fig. 15.1)
Position One
- Tire Pressure – With the Inflation Hose
attached to the tire valve and the pedal in this position, the
air gauge will register the air pressure in the tire. Whenever
your foot is removed from the pedal, it will return to this
position. (See Fig. 15.2)
Position Two
- Tire Inflation – With the Inflation Hose
attached to the tire valve and the pedal in this position, line
pressure is allowed to flow through the valve and into the tire
for inflation. Tire pressure is not indicated on the gauge in
this position.
(See Fig. 15.3)
SECTION 16
TIRE INFLATION
The unit is equipped with a Pressure Limiter/Regulator to
assist the operator with proper tire inflation. The Pressure
Limiter will keep most car and light truck tires from inflating
beyond 60 PSI (smaller tires may reach higher pressures).
It is the operators responsibility to follow all instructions and
to control inflation pressure as specified in these
instructions. (See Fig. 16.1)
STAGES OF INFLATION
Review the following descriptions and diagrams carefully.
Refer to them as necessary during, bead sealing, bead
seating, and inflation to verify that you are proceeding
properly and safely.
This machine is not intended to be a restraining
devise for exploding tires, tubes, or rims.
KEEP HANDS AND BODY CLEAR
at all times and
as far back as possible during inflation.
DO NOT lean over the tire while inflating.
An exploding tire, rim or other wheel component
can cause death to operator and/or bystander.
REMAIN CLEAR AT ALL TIMES.

WARNING!
Check the function of the pressure limiter
regularly. 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.
