Tire Mounting 1. Before any mounting, inspect tire for damage and verify size match between tire and wheel (figure 20).

Inflation The inflation pedal, located at the rear of the left side of the machine, controls the flow of air through the Tire inflation is performed in three steps: BEAD inflation hose, and has two positions. SEAL, BEAD SEAT, and INFLATION. These steps are Note: The clip-on chuck on the end of the hose is explained in detail on page 14.
Bead Sealing Bead Seating 1. Remove the valve core from the valve stem to allow more air flow into the tire to assist with bead seal. NEVER exceed 40 PSI to seat beads while 2. Position valve stem in front of operator and con- using this tire changer.
Inflation NEVER exceed tire manufacturer's recom- mended air pressure. Tires can explode, especially if inflated beyond these limits. Use clip-on air chuck, keep hands, arms and entire body back from inflating tire. Avoid distraction during inflation. Check tire pressure frequently to avoid over infla- tion.
Stages of Inflation on a Conventional Tire and Rim Review these descriptions and diagrams carefully. Refer to them as necessary during bead sealing, bead seating, and inflation to verify that you are proceeding properly and safely. Bead Sealing Bead sealing is the process of capturing air pressure between the tire and the rim.
Mismatched Tires and Wheels Never mount and inflate mis-matched tires and wheels. Mismatched tire and wheel combinations will explode, if you attempt to force a bead seat, causing personal injury or death to operator and/or bystanders. Important: Always read and follow operating instructions. •...

Pressure Limiter Maintenance 4. Watch the rising pressure on the tank gauge and the gauge on the machine. Machine gauge should cycle between check and inflation pressures while tank gauge climbs steadily. As tank pressure reaches 60 PSI, the pressure limiter should stop the airflow Operating a tire changer with a defective, automatically.
Separator/Lubricator Maintenance 4. Adjust the oil flow by turning the black flow adjustment knob and turning it to increase or decrease Check oil and water levels regularly, and perform the flow. Watch the formation of oil drops in the these maintenance items weekly: see-through oil chamber.
