STAGE FOUR / TIRE INFLATION
1. Make sure both beads are seated. When both beads are
seated, the tire is ready for inflation.
2. Replace the valve core if it was removed.
3. Depress the Inflation Pedal to inflate the tire.
DO NOT STAND OVER TIRE DURING INFLATION.
4. Do not inflate the tire above the manufacturer’s
recommended pressure as stamped on the tire sidewall.
The typical inflation pressure for automobile tires is between
24 and 45 PSI. Light truck inflation pressure typically
covers a wider range. Release air pressure from the tire by
pressing the manual release valve button.

IMPORTANT!
When inflating tires that require more than 60 PSI,
always use a safety cage and air hose with a
clip-on air chuck and in-line valve. The hose must
have enough length between the chuck and the
operation/in-line valve to allow the operator to
stand outside the trajectory.
WARNING!
THE INFLATION PRESSURE LIMITER IS
PRE-SET AT THE FACTORY AND SHOULD NEED
NO ADJUSTMENT. ADJUST ONLY IF PRESSURE
EXCEEDS 60 PSI. Operating a tire changer with a
defective, improperly adjusted, or by-passed pressure
limiter could result in a tire explosion with severe
injury or death to the operator or bystanders. Always
be sure that the pressure limiter is operating properly
on the machine at all times. Pressure limiter is set at
60 PSI. Any required inflation above 60 PSI should be
performed in an inflation chamber/safety cage.
A tire explosion may cause personal injury or
death to operator or bystanders.
DANGER!
NEVER increase air pressure to exceed 40 PSI
when attempting Bead Seat. If operator is unable
to obtain Bead Seat, something is wrong. Deflate
tire completely, inspect tire and wheel, correct any
problems found, re-lubricate both tire beads, and
reattempt Bead Seal and Seat procedures. Follow
and follow all safety instructions in this manual
and on machine.
WARNING!
MIS-MATCHED TIRES AND WHEELS
Never attempt to mount and inflate mis-matched
tires and wheels. Mis-matched tire and wheel
combinations can explode, causing personal injury
or death to operator and bystanders. For safety, do
not attempt to mount and inflate mis-matched tires
and wheels.
WARNING!
Check tire pressure frequently. Never exceed
40 PSI while seating beads. Once seated, never
exceed tire manufacturer’s recommended air
pressure. Tires can explode, especially if they are
inflated beyond their limits. At all pressure levels
when inflating through the valve stem, keep hands,
arms, and entire body away from inflating tire.
An exploding tire, wheel, or bead sealing
equipment may propel upward and outward with
sufficient force to cause serious injury or death to
operator or bystander.
t
Before making any inspection, adjustment, or
repair, disconnect the power source and or air
supply and block out all moving parts to prevent
injury.
t
Keep the machine and the immediate work area
clean. Do not use compressed air to remove dirt and
debris from the machine. Foreign material may be
propelled into the air and into operator or bystander
causing personal injury.
t
Wear protective clothing and use eye
protection when making any adjustments or repairs
to the machine.
