4x4 Traction BeadLocker
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Your 4x4 Traction BeadLocker™ Internal Beadlock is
basically a low-profile tire located inside the existing
tire. An inner tube is located inside the beadlock
casing, which is kept inflated to 3.5 bar. The
beadlock casing holds the inner and outer tire beads
against the rim, preventing bead separation. The
standard tire can then be deflated and inflated to any
pressure below 3.5 bar, via the beadlock air channel.
SAFETY
Read the instructions thoroughly. Work safely! Let
common sense prevail throughout the entire
installation process. Wear hand & eye protection. Be
cautious with compressed air. Use tire chocks before
jacking the vehicle up and safety stands after it is up.
Work sober! Keep these instructions in the vehicle for
future reference, as others may need them to repair
your tire.
TOOLS REQUIRED
You must have:
1) Tire Levers, or machine.
2) A valve puller to remove the old valve.
3) A knife or deburring tool to smooth the tire
bead.
4) A valve-core removing tool.
5) A hand operated drill to drill and deburr the
new valve stem hole.
6) 4 & 8mm drill bits.
7) Deburring bit, or 10mm drill.
8) NB!! A ¼" or 7mm spanner to hold the tube valve stem, while tightening the nut.
9) A 12mm spanner to fasten the tube- and air channel valve stem nuts.
