4. OPERATION
4.1 To Charge the tank.
4.1.1. Ensure that the release valve (C) is in the closed position as
shown in Fig.2.
4.1.2. Attach an air line to the air inlet connection on the bead
seater, open the inlet valve (A) and charge the tank to the
required pressure. The normal working pressure varies from
50psi to 130psi, depending on the size and condition of the tyre.
The bead seater can help inflate all passenger, truck and even
some small agricultural tyres. When used in the wheel in the
upright position it will normally require a pressure over 90psi to
set the bead.
4.2 Using the Bead Seater in the horizontal position.
4.2.1. Adjust the barrel, so that the barrel flange is on the top,
ensuring that the lock nut is secure.
4.2.2. Ensure that both beads of the tyre have been well lubricated
and position the wheel on to a stand, the valve stem should
be pointing upwards and the wheel should be off the ground
so that the lower bead should be already seated.
