Bead Seating
NEVER exceed 40 PSI to seat beads while
using this tire changer. If more than 40 PSI is
permitted by tire manufacturer, ALWAYS use
safety cage and clip-on chuck. NEVER
exceed recommended pressure after seat-
ing beads. ALWAYS keep hands and entire
body back from inflating tire.
An exploding tire, wheel, or bead sealing
equipment may propel upward and out-
ward with sufficient force to cause serious
injury or death to operator or bystander.
Check tire pressure frequently. If operator is
unable to obtain Bead Seat, something is
wrong. Deflate tire completely, inspect tire
and wheel, correct any problems found,
relubricate both tire beads, and reattempt
Bead Seal and Seat procedures. Follow all
safety instructions in this manual and on
machine.
1. Once tire pressure is indicated on the air gauge
(inflation pedal in position 1; foot removed from pedal),
continue to inject air into the tire (inflation pedal posi-
tion 2) in short intervals. Check the pressure fre-
quently. Stand back during bead seat. Keep hands,
arms, and entire body away from tire during this pro-
cedure (figure 24).
