20.0_INFLATION
Tires are to be infl ated with utmost caution. Strictly follow the instructions here after as the tire changer
is NOT designed and manufactured to safeguard the user (nor anybody else standing near the machine)
if the tire should accidentally burst.
• Connect the infl ation hose to the valve of the tire.
• Make sure the rim and the tire have the same diameter again.
• Make sure the rim and tire are suffi ciently lubricated; lubricate if necessary.
• Press and release the infl ation pedal continuously, checking the pressure on the gauge frequently until the tire
bead fi ts completely on the rim.
• Continue infl ating to reach the pressure recommended by the manufacturer. Always infl ate in short blasts and
always checking the pressure while doing so.
• Press the defl ation button to defl ate the tire if, during infl ation, the pressure exceeds the value recommended by
the manufacturer.
ATTENTION! If the tire bead fails to fi t in place during infl ation at the maximum pressure of 40 PSI (3.3
bar), you need to repeat the bead loosening and lubricating procedure of the tire itself and then try in-
fl ating again.
If the tire should burst or the rim should break under pressure, operators could be se-
riously injured or even killed.
Make sure the rim and the tire are the same size.
Also check the state of wear of the tire and the rim to make sure there are no defects
before starting to infl ate.
Infl ate the tire with short blasts of air and check the pressure frequently while infl ating.
All our tire changers are automatically limited to an infl ation pressure of 61 PSI (4.2 bar).
NEVER EXCEED THE PRESSURE RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER WHATE-
VER THE CASE.
Keep hands and body as far away as possible from the tire during infl ation.
