Inflating the Tire
To inflate a Tire after sealing and then seating the Beads, add air pressure to the Tire to get the
pressure to the manufacturer's recommended pressure.
Use the Pressure Gauge to monitor air pressure; do not 'guesstimate' the psi.
⚠
DANGER
The typical inflation pressure for automobile Tires is from approximately 25 to 45 psi. Light truck Tire
inflation pressures typically cover a wider range.
Do not exceed

DANGER
To inflate a Tire:
1. Verify that both the Beads on both sides of the Tire are sealed and seated.
2. Verify that the Valve Core has been put back in.
3. Make sure the Tire is restrained: either internally clamped, held down by the Restraint Cone, or
in a Tire Inflation Cage.
Do not inflate a Tire if it is externally clamped; external clamping interferes with inflation.
4. Make sure the Air Chuck is clipped to the Valve Stem of the Tire using the self-gripping clip.
5. Step back from the Tire.

6. Press and hold down the Inflation Foot Pedal.
Air begins flowing into the Tire.
7. Inflate the Tire to the manufacturer's recommended psi by monitoring the Pressure Gauge.
If you go over the recommended psi, use the Pressure Relief Button to remove air pressure from
the Tire to bring it back down to the recommended psi.
8. When the Tire is inflated, release the Inflation Foot Pedal.
9. Remove the Air Chuck from the Valve Stem.
10. Take the Wheel off the Tire Changer.
