CHAPTER 6 – INFLATING
The greatest attention is called for when inflating the tires. Keep strictly to the
following instructions since the tire changer is NOT designed and built to
protect (or anyone else in the vicinity of the machine) if the tire bursts
accidentally.
To inflate a tire proceed as follows:
Connect the airline gauge to the tire valve.
Make a last check to be certain that tire and rim
diameter correspond.
Check to be certain that rim and beads are
sufficiently lubricated. If necessary lubricate some
more.
Seat the beads with short jets of air. Between air
jets, check the air pressure on the inflator gauge.
Continue to inflate the tire with short jets of air
and constantly checking the pressure between
until the required pressure has been reached.
REV. 01
A bust tire can cause serious injury or even death of the operator.
Check carefully that the wheel rim and the tire are of the same size.
Check the state of wear of the tire and that it has no defects before
beginning the inflation.
Inflate the tire with brief jets of air, checking the pressure after every jet.
All our tire changers are automatically limited to a maximum inflating
pressure of 3.5 bar (51 psi). In any case NEVER EXCEEED THE
PRESSURE RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
Keep your hands and body as far away as possible from the tire.
EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Never exceed 3.5 bar (51 psi) when seating beads or inflating tires.
If a higher inflating pressure is required remove the wheel from turntable
and continue the inflating procedure inside a special protection cage
(commercially available).
Never exceed the max. inflating pressure given by the tire manufacturer.
ALWAYS keep hands and body back from inflating tire.
ONLY special trained personnel are allowed to perform these operations.
Do not allow other persons to operate or to stay near the tire changer.
