1.3.b. Air Pressures
The machine is equipped with an internal pressure limiting valve to minimize the risk of over
inflating the tire.
1. Never exceed these pressure limitations:
• Supply line pressure (from compressor) is 220 psi.
• Operating pressure (gauge on regulator) is 145 psi.
Bead setting pressure (gauge on hose) is the tire manufacturer's maximum pressure as
stated on the sidewall of the tire.
2. Activate air inflation jets only when sealing bead.
3. Bleed air pressure system before disconnecting supply line or other pneumatic
components. Air is stored in a reservoir for operation of inflation jets.
4. Only activate the air inflation jets if the rim securing device is locked in place and the tire is
properly clamped (when possible).
5. Only use supplied inflation hose with a properly functioning regulator.
6. Never inflate using "shop air" on the tire changer.
7. Use a safety cage in accordance with tire manufactures recommendations if inflation
pressures beyond the tire changer equipped regulated air is required.

1.4 Special Rim/Tire Considerations

Wheels equipped with low tire pressure sensors or special tire and rim designs may
require certain procedures. Consult wheels and tire manufacturer's service manuals.

1.5 Intended Use of The Machine

This machine must be used only to remove and replace an automotive tire on an automotive
rim, using the tools with which it is equipped. Any other use is improper and can result in an
accident.
