4.4 INFLATION OF TUBELESS TIRES.

Make sure that both beads are properly lubricated.
BEAD SEATING IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PART
OF MOUNTING A TIRE.
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.
SAFETY RESTRAINT ARM MUST BE IN PLACE
PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING BEAD SEATING OR
INFLATION.
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE
ALLOWED BY THE TIRE MANUFACTURER.
1077 IF YOU CLAMPED THE RIM FROM THE OUTSIDE
IT MUST BE UNCLAMPED WHEN INFLATING BUT
ONLY AFTER THE SRA IS IN PLACE.
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.
Inflate tire
recommendations.
Due to unusual configurations or the stacking of tires
the inflation process may be difficult. To assist with
this problem the Snap-on Tire Changers are equipped
with bead seater jets integrated into the tabletop.
To utilize the bead seater proceed as follows:
A. Position the safety restraint arm over center of wheel
assembly. The safety arm is lifted upward by grasping
the safety restraint position knob and lifting upward
while simultaneously depressing the anti-rotation lock
arm. Swing SRA arm assembly so the rubber retainer
is centered over the rim. Note that air pressure to the
1076
inflation hose will not flow until the arm is centered
over the rim.
B. Connect the inflation hose to the valve stem.
