- Make sure that the wheel on which the tyre has been mounted is firmly clamped to the
turntable using the centring handle 1 fig. 31. Also make sure that the tool head and the
bead breaker unit are well clear of the working area, if possible in the rest position.
- Connect the Doyfe union of the inflation line 2 fig. 31 to the stem of the inner tube valve,
after removing the cap. Inflate the tyre by pressing the relative Pedal 3 fig. 31 in short
bursts.
The inner tube gradually expands inside the tyre. As this happens, push the inner tube
valve inward to allow the air left between the tube and the tyre to escape; this prevents
deflation and possible damage to the tube.
- Inflate, taking great care that the pressure shown on the Air pressure display gauge 4 fig. 31
NEVER exceeds the pressure levels recommended by the tyre producer.
- Fit the cap on the valve to protect its internal mechanism from dust and ensure an
airtight seal.
- Remove and unload the wheel as described in steps 11-12 of the "MOUNTING" sec-
tion.
Maintaining correct pressure values is of the greatest importance for safe use of the
vehicle.
Insufficient pressure causes overheating and may drastically shorten the life of the tyre; it
reduces roadholding and may cause uneven wear (tread wear concentrated on the shoul-
ders of the tyre) and internal damage, and the tyre may even collapse. It also increases
the vehicle's fuel consumption.
Excessive pressure makes the tyre more liable to damage in case of knocks and causes
uneven wear (wear concentrated along the centre of the tread).
The inflation pressure must be checked regularly, at least every two weeks and before
long journeys, not forgetting the spare wheel.
The pressure must only be checked with the tyres cold, since the pressure increases
when the tyres heat up during use.
Never reduce the pressure of tyres when they are hot.
Tyres which have not been used for at least one hour, or have travelled not more than 2
or 3 kilometres at low speed, can be considered cold.
The inflation pressures when cold must be those specified for the car by the car or tyre
producer.
For heavy-duty operating conditions (e.g. continuous high speeds, towing trailers, etc.),
where this is not already specified by the car's handbook, the recommended cold pres-
sures should be increased by 0.3 bar.
