P/N 5900089 — Rev. A — March 2019
Inflate the Tire
The Tire inflation process consists of three stages:
•
Bead sealing
is putting in a small amount of air pressure to push the Tire up against the Rim
(after the new Tire has been mounted) so that air does not leak out.
•
Bead seating
is putting in more air pressure to “pop” the Tire Beads into position in the Bead
Seat.
•
Inflation
is adding air pressure to the Tire manufacturer’s recommended pressure.
If the Tire inflation process goes smoothly, these three stages could easily be considered a single
stage instead of multiple stages.
⚠
CAUTION
The inflation process can produce some additional noise. BendPak Ranger
recommends wearing ear protection when inflating a Tire.
⚠
WARNING
Do not exceed the maximum air pressure specified by the Tire manufacturer. This
increases the chances that the Tire could explode, causing injury or even death to
the Operator and bystanders.
Use the Pressure Gauge on the Tire Changer to monitor the air pressure in the Tire you are inflating.
⚠
DANGER
If you are inflating a Tire that requires more than 60 psi,
always
use a
Tire
Inflation Cage such as the RIC-4716
for safety purposes. If a Tire fails at
high pressure, it can explode and cause serious injury or death to anyone near it.
Using a Tire Inflation Cage helps reduce the danger.
To inflate a Tire
:
1.
Make sure you are wearing ANSI-approved eye protection: safety glasses, face shield, or goggles.
2.
Make sure the Wheel on the Turntable is well secured with the Quick-Nut.
⚠
WARNING
The Quick-Nut can hold the Wheel in place, but it cannot restrain a Tire that
explodes. To reduce danger during Tire inflation, no one other than the Tire
Changer Operator should be closer than 30 feet to the Tire and the Operator
should as far from the Tire as possible.
3.
Make sure both the upper and lower Beads are lubricated.
4.
Clip the Air Chuck to the Valve Stem of the new Tire.
