5.3 Inflation of tubeless tires
Make sure that both beads are properly lubricated.
Inflate the tire and ensure that both beads are properly
seated. Inflate to correct pressure.
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE
ALLOWED BY THE TIRE MANUFACTURER.
THE RIM MUST BE UNCLAMPED WHEN
INFLATING BUT ONLY AFTER 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 TIRE AND RIM.
CHECK THE CORRECT SEALING OF THE VALVE
AND THE FITTING AT THE END OF THE INFLATION
HOSE. AN AIR LEAK MAY LEAD TO WRONG
PRESSURE READINGS AND CREATE SAFETY
HAZARDS.
CHECK THAT THE READING ON THE
MANOMETER (AIR PRESURE GAUGE) IS "ZERO"
WHEN AT REST.
BEAD SEATING IS THE MOST DANGEROUS
PART OF MOUNTING A TIRE.
IT IS POSSIBLE TO MOUNT TIRES THAT ARE 1/2"
SMALLER IN DIAMETER THAN THE RIM 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.
Inflation of tubless tires is sometimes difficult because
the beads may be very close together (owing to incorrect
stacking) and will not seal onto the rim.
In such a case the wheel may be placed on the floor in
a vertical position and made to jump slightly, while
inflating with the tire gauge.
