7.0 INFLATING

The greatest attention is called for when inflating 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 inflation

stage.

• Inflate the tyre with brief jets of air, checking the pressure after every jet.

• All our tyre changers are automatically limited to a maximum inflating pressure of 3.5 bar

(51 psi). In any case NEVER EXCEED THE PRESSURE RECOMMENDED BY THE

MANUFACTURER.

•Keep your hands and body as far away as possible from the tyre.

7.1 Inflating tyre using airline gauge:

In its standard version, the tyre-changer is not equipped with inflating gauge.

To inflate a tyre, the user shall use an approved inflating gauge in accor-

dance with the national law in force and proceed as follows:

• Connect the inflating gauge union with the union in the back of the machine

body, which is marked by the sticker in pic 13

• Connect the airline gauge fitting 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 sufficiently lubricated. If necessary

lubricate some more.

• Seat the beads with short jets of air. Between air jets, check the air pressure on

the inflator gauge.

• Continue to inflate the tyre with short jets of air and constantly checking the

pressure between air jets until the required pressure has been reached.

Never exceed 3.5 bar (51 PSI) when seating beads or inflating tyres.

If a higher inflating pressure is required remove the wheel from turntable and cpntinue the

inflation procedure inside a special protection cage (commercially available)

NEVER exceed the max. inflating pressure given by the tyre manufacturer

ALWAYS keep hands and body back from inflating 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.
