Inflating Of Tubeless Tires - Snap-On EEWH306A Instructions

EEWH306A Tire Changer Operation Manual
B. Lock the rim to the turntable and rotate it so that the
valve is at the 2 o'clock position. Place the tire to be
mounted on the rim. Swing the mount/demount arm in
so that the mount/demount head is in the working
position. (Fig. 4.2-3) Engage the lower bead OVER
the mount/demount head and UNDER the mounting
finger of the mount/demount head (Fig.20). Turn the
wheel clockwise (right pedal down) while
simultaneously pushing the tire down into the drop
center, opposite to the mount/demount head.

C. Mount the upper bead following the directions in
section B. With low profile tires the bead holding clamp
(option 66735 Fig.4.2-4) can help to prevent the top bead
from prematurely seating during the mounting cycle.
NOTE: Bead Holding Clamp must be removed prior to
coming full circle and impacting the mount/demount head.

Operation Manual
4.3 INFLATION OF TUBELESS TIRES.
Make sure that both beads are properly lubricated.
BEAD SEATING IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PART OF
MOUNTING A TIRE.
NEVER STAND OVER TIRE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO
SEAT BEADS OR DURING INFLATION
IT IS POSSIBLE TO INCORRECTLY MOUNT TIRES
THAT ARE 1/2" SMALLER IN DIAMETER THAN THE
RIM THAT 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.
Inflate tire according to manufacturers recommendations.
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
MONIT ORED FREQUENTLY T O 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 the
inflation process may be difficult. To assist with this
problem the Snap-on EEWH306A Series Tire Changers
are equipped with bead seater jets integrated into the
table top.
