5.
Press and hold on the Inflation Foot Pedal for a second or two.
Air goes into the Tire and seals the Bead.
Bead Sealing takes very little air pressure, anywhere from 0 to 3 psi, which you can monitor on the
Pressure Gauge.
The purpose of Bead Sealing is to push the Tire up against the Rim so that air does not leak out
during the rest of the inflation process.
6.
Check to make sure the upper and lower Beads are sealed against the Rim.
If the Beads are not sealed, try again, this time putting it slightly more air.
7.
When the Beads are sealed, press and hold on the Inflation Foot Pedal to seat the Bead.
You should hear a pop as the Beads are seated.
8.
Bead Seating takes more air pressure, usually requiring 7 psi or above.
Do not exceed 40 psi to seat the Bead
.
Always follow the Tire manufacturer’s recommended procedure for Bead Seating.
If air pressure gets to 40 psi but the Bead is not seated, let most of the air out of the Tire and try
again.
9.
If the Bead is still not seated, you can use an air blast to try to seat the Bead.
If the Bead still does not seat, either get a different Tire or remove all air from the Tire and start the
inflation procedure over from the beginning.
Never exceed 40 psi to seat the Bead
.
10.
When you have verified that both the upper and lower Beads are seated, press and hold the
Inflation Foot Pedal and inflate the Tire to the manufacturer’s recommended air pressure for the
Tire.
The typical inflation pressure for automobile Tires is from approximately 25 to 45 psi. Light truck
Tire inflation pressures typically cover a wider range.
Do not exceed
the Tire manufacturer’s recommended air pressure for a Tire.
The Tire Changer has an air pressure limiter that is set at the factory so that it does
not
exceed 60
psi.
Do not override the pressure limiter
.
⚠
DANGER
Inflating a Tire with a bypassed pressure limiter could result in the Tire exploding,
which could injure or kill bystanders or the Tire Changer Operator. Do not exceed
60 psi unless the Tire is in a Tire Inflation Cage.
11.
When the Tire is correctly inflated, remove the Air Chuck from the Valve Stem.
The Wheel can now be removed from the Turntable.
