CHAPTER 5– INFLATING
The greatest attention is called for when inflating the
tires. Keep strictly to the following instructions since
the tire changer is NOT designed and built to protect
(or anyone else in the vicinity of the machine) if the
tire bursts accidentally.
A bust tire can cause serious injury or even de-
ath of the operator.
Check carefully that the wheel rim and the tire
are of the same size.
Check the state of wear of the tire and that it
has no defects before beginning the inflation.
Inflate the tire with brief jets of air, checking the
pressure after every jet.
All our tire changers are automatically limited to a maximum infla-
ting pressure of 3.5 bar (51 psi). In any case NEVER EXCEEED THE
PRESSURE RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. Keep your
hands and body as far away as possible from the tire.
5.1 INFLATING TIRE USING AIRLINE GAUGE
In the standard version our tire changer are supplied with an airline ga-
uge. To inflate a tire proceed as follows:
· Connect the airline gauge to the tire valve.
· Make a last check to be certain that tire and rim diameter correspond.
· Check to be certain that rim and beads are sufficiently lubricated. If neces-
sary lubricate some more.
· Seat the beads with short jets of air. Between air jets, check the air pres-
sure on the inflator gauge.
· Continue to inflate the tire with short jets of air and constantly checking the
pressure between until the required pressure has been reached.
EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Never exceed 3.5 bar (51 psi) when seating
beads or inflating tires. If a higher inflating
pressure is required remove the wheel
from turntable and continue the inflating
procedure inside a special protection cage
(commercially available).
Never exceed the max. inflating pressure
given by the tire manufacturer.
ALWAYS keep hands and body back from inflating
tire.ONLY special trained personnel are allowed to
perform these operations.Do not allow other per-
sons to operate or to stay near the tire changer.
