Inflate
tire
according
to
manufacturers
recommendations.
WARNING!
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE ALLOWED BY
THE TIRE MANUFACTURER.
THE RIM MUST BE UNCLAMPED WHEN INFLATING BUT
ONLY AFTER THE BEADS HAVE BEEN SEATED.
THE OPERATOR MUST STAND CLEAR FROM THE WHEEL
WHEN INFLATING, AND PRESSURE MUST BE MONITORED
FREQUENTLY TO AVOID OVER INFLATION.
BEFORE INFLATING A TIRE, CHECK THE CONDITION OF
THE TIRE AND THE RIM.
Due to unusual configurations or the stacking of tires
14
340
(Fig.24)
the inflation process is sometimes difficult.
To assist with this problem the ACCU Model 3402 is
equipped with bead seater jets incorporated into the
table top.
To utilize the bead seater proceed as follows:
A. If possible lock the wheel from inside. Outside locking
reduces efficiency.
B. Connect the inflation hose to the valve stem.
C. Lift the tire with both hands so that the upper bead
is sealed to the rim edge (Fig.24).
D. Press the inflation pedal down swiftly (#14 Fig.24/1).
The top bead is already sealed by the lifting motion.
Therefore, the air from the bead seater jets will impact
the top sidewall and rebound into the bottom sidewall
driving it into place and creating a seal.
ATTENTION!
WHEN OPERATING THE BEAD SEATER WEAR SAFETY ATTIRE
TO AVOID INJURY TO BODY OR EYES.
E. Complete inflation as described @4.3 (A.).
