Mounting 1. Before any mounting, inspect tire for damage and verify size match between tire and wheel (fig. 16). This information must be read and followed carefully to prevent accidents and injuries during mounting. DANGER Attempts to force a bead seat on mis- matched tires and wheels can cause the tire to violently explode, causing serious per- sonal injury or death to operator and/or...

Inflation The inflation pedal, located at the rear of the left side of the machine, controls the flow of air through the Tire inflation is performed in three steps: BEAD inflation hose, and has three positions. SEAL, BEAD SEAT, and INFLATION. These steps are explained in detail on page 14.
Bead Sealing CAUTION 1. Position valve stem in front of operator and con- nect the inflation hose with the clip-on chuck. Hold tire Use of bead sealing jets without a tire in up against upper edge of the wheel.

Bead Seating 1. Once tire pressure is indicated on the air gauge (inflation pedal in position 1; foot removed from pedal), DANGER continue to inject air into the tire (inflation pedal posi- tion 2) in short intervals. Check the pressure fre- quently.
Inflation WARNING NEVER exceed tire manufacturer's recom- mended air pressure. Tires can explode, especially if inflated beyond these limits. Use clip-on air chuck, keep hands, arms and entire body back from inflating tire. Avoid distraction during inflation. Check tire pres- sure frequently to avoid over inflation.
Stages of Inflation on a Conventional Tire and Rim Review these 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. Bead Sealing Bead sealing is the process of capturing air pressure between the tire and the rim.
Mismatched Tires and Wheels Never attempt to mount and inflate mis-matched tires and wheels. DANGER Mismatched tire and wheel combinations can explode, causing personal injury or death to operator and/or bystanders. 15° Even Size Tires 14.0,15.0,16.0,17 .0, etc. Note 15° bead seat Bead may seal;...
