Mounting and demounting
•
Connect the compressed air hose to the valve (1,
Figure 5.3-1).
•
Operate the compressed air to ensure the beads
are seated.
STOP THE COMPRESSED AIR AS SOON AS THE
BEADS GRIP THE RIM WELL.
•
Place the wheel in a type-approved cage to fi nish
infl ating and completely settle the beads in their
seats on the rim.
Beading tubeless tyres is sometimes diffi cult because
the beads may be very close to each other (e.g. due to
incorrect storage) thus not permitting a correct sealing
against the rim.
In this event it may be helpful to place the wheel on
the fl oor in a vertical position and 'bounce' it while
introducing air with the pedal control or with the Infl ator
Gauge (Figure 5.3-2).
Beading with the bead seater device:
The machine can be provided with a bead seater
device, necessary for bead seating of tubeless tyres.
•
Connect the compressed air hose to the valve (1,
Figure 5.3-1).
Position the bead seater device beading nozzle
between tyre and rim, pointing the air jet inside the
tyre (2, Figure 5.3-1).
•
Press the infl ation pedal (1 Fig. 5.3-3) and the
button (3 Fig. 5.3-3) on the Nozzle. The injectors
(4 Fig. 5.3-3) eject a large volume of air and the
tyre beads properly seal the rim fl anges allowing
the subsequent infl ation.
STOP THE COMPRESSED AIR AS SOON AS THE
BEADS GRIP THE RIM WELL.
