7.0 INFLATING
The greatest attention is called for when inlating the tyres. Keep strictly to the following instructions since the
tyre changer is NOT designed and built to protect the user (or anyone else in the vicinity of the machine) if
the tyre bursts accidentally.
A burst tyre can cause serious injury or even death of the operator.
• Check carefully that the wheel rim and the tyre are of the same size.
• Check the state of wear of the tyre and that it has no defects before beginning the inlation
stage.
• Inlate the tyre with brief jets of air, checking the pressure after every jet.
• All our tyre changers are automatically limited to a maximum inlating pressure of 3.5 bar
(51 psi). In any case NEVER ExCEED THE PRESSURE RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTU-
RER.
•Keep your hands and body as far away as possible from the tyre.
7.1 Inlating tyre using airline gauge:
•Connect the airline gauge itting to the tyre valve.
• Make a last check to be certain that tyre and rim diameter correspond.
•Check to be certain that rim and beads are suficiently lubricated.
if necessary lubricate some more.
•Seat the beads with short jets of air. Between air jets, check the air
pressure on the inlator gauge.
•Continue to inlate the tyre with short jets of air and constantly checking the
pressure between air jets until the required pressure has been reached.
EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Never exceed 3.5 bar (51 PSI) when seating beads or inlating tyres.
If a higher inlating pressure is required remove the wheel from turntable and cpntinue the inla-
tion procedure inside a special protection cage (commercially available)
NEVER exceed the max. inlating pressure given by the tyre manufacturer
ALWAYS keep hands and body back from inlating tyre
ONLY specially trained personnel are allowed to perform these operations. Do not allow other
persons to operate or to stay near the tyre changer.
