4.4 INFLATION OF TUBELESS TIRES.
Make sure that both beads are properly lubricated.
BEFORE INFLATING A TIRE, CHECK THE CONDITION
OF THE TIRE AND THE RIM.
BEAD SEATING IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PART
OF MOUNTING A TIRE.
IT IS POSSIBLE TO INCORRECTLY MOUNT TIRES
THAT ARE 1/2” SMALLER IN DIAMETER THAN THE
RIM THAT THEY ARE MOUNTED ON. WHILE THESE
BEADS WILL SEAL, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THEM
TO SEAT IN THEIR PROPER POSITION.
EXPLOSION OF A TIRE MAY CAUSE SEVERE INJURY
OR DEATH.
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE
ALLOWED BY THE TIRE MANUFACTURER.
IF YOU CLAMPED THE RIM FROM THE OUTSIDE IT
MUST BE UN-CLAMPED WHEN INFLATING BUT ONLY
AFTER THE SRA IS IN PLACE.
NEVER INFLATE A TIRE USING ANYTHING BUT
THE INFLATION HOSE ON THE TIRE CHANGER.
INFLATION OF TIRES USING SHOP AIR IS ONLY
RECOMMENDED IF THE TIRES ARE IN AN APPROVED
SAFETY CAGE.
THE OPERATOR MUST STAND CLEAR FROM THE
WHEEL WHEN INFLATING, AND PRESSURE MUST
BE MONITORED FREQUENTLY TO AVOID OVER
INFLATION.
Infl ate tire according to manufacturer’s recommendations.
Due to unusual confi gurations or the stacking of tires
the infl ation process may be diffi cult. To assist with this
problem the Tire Changers are equipped with bead seater
jets integrated into the tabletop.
To utilize the bead seater proceed as follows:
A.
Swing the SRA arm assembly (optional, if equipped)
so the rubber retainer is centered over the rim. Note that
air pressure to the infl ation hose will not fl ow until the arm
is centered over the rim.
