STAGES OF INFLATION
Tire inflation is performed in four steps: Restraint, Bead
Seal, Bead Seat, and Inflation. Read the explanation of
each step and understand them thoroughly before
proceeding and refer to them as necessary to verify that
you are proceeding properly and safely.
THIS MACHINE IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A
RESTRAINING DEVICE FOR EXPLODING TIRES,
TUBES, OR RIMS. KEEP HANDS AND BODY CLEAR
AT ALL TIMES AND AS FAR BACK AS POSSIBLE
DURING INFLATION. DO NOT LEAN OVER THE TIRE
WHILE INFLATING. AN EXPLODING TIRE, RIM OR
OTHER WHEEL COMPONENT CAN CAUSE DEATH TO
OPERATOR AND/OR BYSTANDER. REMAIN CLEAR
AT ALL TIMES.
HOLD THE RESTRAINT TOOL FIRMLY IN PLACE WHEN
INSTALLING AND/OR REMOVING FROM THE LEFT
HELPER ASSEMBLY. THE UNIT CAN DROP SUDDENLY
TO THE FLOOR. BE SURE TO KEEP FEET CLEAR AT
ALL TIMES.
2. Make sure the restraint tool is centered in the center hub
of the wheel then press down on the left hand control valve.
(See Fig 14.6).
Fig 14.6
THIS OBJECT IS A RESTRAINT DEVICE ONLY. IT
WILL NOT PROTECT OPERATORS IN THE EVENT OF
CATASTROPHIC TIRE/WHEEL RUPTURE OR FAILURE.
ALWAYS USE EXTREME CAUTION DURING THE INFLA-
TION PROCEDURE. AS AN ADDED SAFETY PRECAU-
TION, SAFETY CAGES THAT CONFORM TO OSHA
STANDARD 1910.177 ARE RECOMMENDED.
STAGE ONE / WHEEL RESTRAINT
As an added safety precaution, a wheel restraint device has
been added to protect operators during tire inflation.
1. Swing the Assist Tower to the side of the wheel and
insert the restraint device as shown. (See Fig 14.5)
Fig 14.5
OPERATOR SHOULD KEEP HANDS, ARMS, AND
ENTIRE BODY AWAY FROM THE TIRE DURING THE
FOLLOWING BEAD SEAT AND INFLATION PROCE-
DURES. DO NOT STAND OVER TIRE, AS PERSONAL
INJURY COULD RESULT FROM INFLATING TIRE.
AVOID DISTRACTION DURING INFLATION. CHECK
TIRE PRESSURE FREQUENTLY TO AVOID OVER
INFLATION. EXCESSIVE PRESSURE CAN CAUSE
TIRES TO EXPLODE, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH TO OPERATOR OR BYSTANDER.
STAGE TWO / BEAD SEALING
1. Position valve stem in front of operator and connect the
inflation hose after removing the valve core. (see Fig 14.7)
27
Fig 14.7
BLAST TO SEAL THE BEAD
1. To Open the Slide Valve, PUSH the Slide Valve Forward.
2. To Close PULL the Slide Valve closed. (See Fig 14.10)
2. Step on the inflation pedal to allow air to flow into the tire
and seal the beads. (see Fig 14.8)
Fig 14.8
TO SEAL LOW PROFILE OR DIF-
FICULT BEADS, USE THE TURBO
Turbo Blast Nozzle
“Closed”
“Open”
3. Position the Turbo-Blast Nozzle to direct air towards
the Rim Center just under the Rim lip. (See Fig. 14.11)
Fig 14.10
Slide
Valve
Fig 14.11
NEVER POINT NOZZLE TOWARDS YOURSELF OR
OTHER PERSONS. INSPECT NOZZLE, TIRE AND
WHEEL FOR DEBRIS. NOZZLE MUST BE POINTED
TOWARD TIRE BEAD AREA. HOLD NOZZLE
SECURELY WITH BOTH HANDS AT ALL TIMES.
NEVER OPERATE THE NOZZLE WITHOUT A TIRE
AND WHEEL POSITIONED ON THE TABLE. DIRT AND
DEBRIS COULD BE BLOWN INTO THE AIR WITH
ENOUGH FORCE TO INJURE THE OPERATOR OR
BYSTANDERS.
4. Depress inflation pedal and open the Turbo-Blast Valve
for less than one full second. The blast of air from the Turbo
Blat Nozzle will expand tire and seal the beads.
5. Repeat these steps if beads have not sealed. It will be
necessary to wait a few seconds for the air storage tank to
recover before attempting again. If tire and wheel are properly
lubricated and operator cannot achieve bead seal after a few
attempts, check to see if the valve core has been be removed
from the valve stem to allow more air flow into the tire to assist
with bead seal. After bead seal is achieved, remove the chuck
and reinstall the valve core.
STAGE THREE / BEAD SEATING
Bead seating usually occurs on the long tapered side of the
wheel first and the shorter side last. Bead seating will
usually require at least 7 PSI in the tire. 40 PSI is the
maximum safe pressure at this stage regardless of tire
operating pressure. Most European import cars and many
aftermarket alloy wheels are very tight and can be difficult
to bead seat. Also note that asymmetrical hump and run-flat
tires are extremely difficult to bead seat. Follow tire
manufacturer’s recommended procedure for bead seating.
28
OPERATOR SHOULD KEEP HANDS, ARMS, AND ENTIRE
BODY AWAY FROM THE TIRE DURING THE FOLLOW-
ING BEAD SEAT AND INFLATION PROCEDURES. DO
NOT STAND OVER TIRE, AS PERSONAL INJURY COULD
RESULT FROM INFLATING TIRE.
Fig 14.12
NOTE:
THE INFLATION HOSE MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE
VALVE STEM DURING THIS PROCEDURE.
2. Release air pressure from the tire by pressing the manual
Pressure Relief Valve. (See Fig 14.13)
AVOID DISTRACTION DURING INFLATION. CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE FREQUENTLY TO AVOID OVER INFLATION.
EXCESSIVE PRESSURE CAN CAUSE TIRES TO EXPLODE,
CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO OPERATOR OR
BYSTANDER.
1. Once tire pressure is indicated on the pressure gauge
continue to inject air into the tire in short instervals. Check
the pressure frequently. Stand back during bead seat. Keep
hands, arms and entire body away from tire during this
procedue. Tire beads should move outward and “pop” into
their bead seat position as pressure inside the tire increases.
If this does not happen, a problem exists. Investigate
carefully. (see Fig 14.12
Fig 14.13
Pressure
Gauge
Pressure
Relief
Valve
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE FREQUENTLY. NEVER
EXCEED 40 PSI WHILE SEATING BEADS. ONCE
SEATED, NEVER EXCEED TIRE MANUFACTURER’S
RECOMMENDED AIR PRESSURE. TIRES CAN
EXPLODE, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE INFLATED
BEYOND THEIR LIMITS. AT ALL PRESSURE LEVELS
WHEN INFLATING THROUGH THE VALVE STEM,
KEEP HANDS, ARMS, AND ENTIRE BODY AWAY
FROM INFLATING TIRE. AN EXPLODING TIRE,
WHEEL, OR BEAD SEALING EQUIPMENT MAY
PROPEL UPWARD AND OUTWARD WITH SUFFICIENT
FORCE TO CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
OPERATOR OR BYSTANDER.
29
NEVER ATTEMPT TO MOUNT AND INFLATE
MISMATCHED TIRES AND WHEELS. MISMATCHED
TIRE AND WHEEL COMBINATIONS CAN EXPLODE,
CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO
OPERATOR AND BYSTANDERS. FOR SAFETY,
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOUNT AND INFLATE MIS-
MATCHED TIRES AND WHEELS.
IF OPERATOR IS UNABLE TO OBTAIN BEAD SEAT,
SOMETHING IS WRONG. DEFLATE TIRE
COMPLETELY, INSPECT TIRE AND WHEEL,
CORRECT ANY PROBLEMS FOUND, RE-LUBRICATE
BOTH TIRE BEADS, AND REATTEMPT BEAD SEAL
AND SEAT PROCEDURES. FOLLOW ALL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL AND ON MACHINE.
STAGE FOUR / TIRE INFLATION
NOTE:
WHEN INFLATING TIRES THAT REQUIRE MORE
THAN 60 PSI, ALWAYS USE A SAFETY CAGE AND
AIR HOSE WITH A CLIP-ON AIR CHUCK AND IN-LINE
VALVE. THE HOSE MUST HAVE ENOUGH LENGTH
BETWEEN THE CHUCK AND THE
OPERATION/IN-LINE VALVE TO ALLOW THE
TECHNICIAN TO STAND OUTSIDE THE
TRAJECTORY.
1. Make sure both beads are seated. When both beads are
seated, the tire is ready for ination.
2. Replace the valve core if it was removed.
3. Depress the Ination Pedal to inate the tire. DO NOT
STAND OVER TIRE DURING INFLATION.
4. Do not inate the tire above the manufacturer’s recommended pressure as stamped on the tire sidewall. The
typical ination pressure for automobile tires is between 24
and 45 PSI. Light truck ination pressure typically covers a
wider range. Release air pressure from the tire by pressing
the manual Pressure Relief Valve.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE FREQUENTLY. NEVER
EXCEED 40 PSI WHILE SEATING BEADS. ONCE
SEATED, NEVER EXCEED TIRE MANUFACTURER’S
RECOMMENDED AIR PRESSURE. TIRES CAN
EXPLODE, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE INFLATED
BEYOND THEIR LIMITS. AT ALL PRESSURE LEVELS
WHEN INFLATING THROUGH THE VALVE STEM,
KEEP HANDS, ARMS, AND ENTIRE BODY AWAY
FROM INFLATING TIRE. AN EXPLODING TIRE,
WHEEL, OR BEAD SEALING EQUIPMENT MAY
PROPEL UPWARD AND OUTWARD WITH SUFFICIENT
FORCE TO CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
OPERATOR OR BYSTANDER.
t BEFORE MAKING ANY INSPECTION,
ADJUSTMENT, OR REPAIR, DISCONNECT THE
POWER SOURCE AND OR AIR SUPPLY AND BLOCK
OUT ALL MOVING PARTS TO PREVENT INJURY.
t KEEP THE MACHINE AND THE IMMEDIATE
WORK AREA CLEAN. DO NOT USE COMPRESSED
AIR TO REMOVE DIRT AND DEBRIS FROM THE
MACHINE. FOREIGN MATERIAL MAY BE PROPELLED
INTO THE AIR AND INTO OPERATOR OR
BYSTANDER CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY.
t WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND USE EYE
PROTECTION WHEN MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS
OR REPAIRS TO THE MACHINE.

SECTION 15
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
tCheck the condition and adjustment of the turntable
drive belt.
Read and follow all the maintenance instructions provided
in this manual to keep the machine in good operating
condition. Regular inspections and proper maintenance
are essential to preventing accidents and injuries. These
instructions will help you service the unit. Instructions are
for a person with some mechanical ability and training. No
attempt has been made to describe all basic steps such
as how to loosen or tighten fasteners. Basic procedures
such as cycling systems and checking operation of the
equipment are not fully described since they have been
described previously in this manual. Do not attempt to
perform work beyond your ability or at which you have no
experience. If you need assistance, call an authorized service center or contact the factory.
DAILY
tCheck the tire pressure gauge function, and check the
accuracy monthly. Use a pressurized tire and a high quality
pressure gauge. If the gauge is defective, replace it immediately.
tMake sure all fasteners are securely tightened and all
guards and covers are in place.
tCheck function of the Inflation Pedal pressure
limiter/ regulator. The pressure regulator should never
be adjusted to exceed 60 PSI.
tClean the table top, clamps, steel mount/demount
head, and other working surfaces with a vaporizing solvent.
tReplace any damaged or missing safety decals, available from the factory.
Mount/Demount Tool Head Adjustment
To adjust tool head clearance, adjust locking nut up or
down until lift clearance is 1/8” to 3/16”. Recheck clearance.

Air Supply
Check oil and water levels regularly, and perform these
maintenance items daily:
1. Observe through the clear sight glass the oil and water
levels. (See Fig 15.4)
Fig 15.4
2. If any amount of water is observed, drain by pushing up
on the drain plug at the bottom of the reservoir. (See Fig
15.5)
2. Reservoir Cup may be removed for cleaning by turning
the reservoir counter-clockwise and pulling down. Add oil
to the lubricator if the fluid level is below the middle of the
gauge. Unscrew the Oil Reservoir Cup, add SAE 10W nondetergent oil or an air tool oil if necessary. (See Fig 15.7)
Fig 15.7
3. Replace the Cup and reconnect the air supply when
service/adjustments are complete.
NOTE:
THIS ADJUSTMENT WILL REQUIRE TWO PERSONS
TO PERFORM.

OILER MAINTENANCE
1. Disconnect air supply from machine. (See Fig 15.6)
4. With the air source connected, depress the Bead
Breaker Pedal to operate the Bead Breaker. Observe the
sight glass and adjust the oil flow of the oiler by turning the
Oiler Adjustment Screw counter clockwise so that 2-3 drops
of oil drip through the sight glass for each operation of the
Bead Breaker Pedal. (See Fig 15.8)

Inflation Pedal Pressure Limiter
Maintenance
THE INFLATION PRESSURE LIMITER IS PRESET
AT THE FACTORY AND SHOULD NEED NO
ADJUSTMENT. MODIFY ONLY IF PRESSURE
EXCEEDS 60 PSI. OPERATING A TIRE CHANGER
WITH A DEFECTIVE,IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED, OR
BYPASSED PRESSURE LIMITER COULD RESULT IN A
TIRE EXPLOSION WITH SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH
TO OPERATOR OR BYSTANDERS. ALWAYS BE SURE
THAT THE PRESSURE LIMITER IS OPERATING
PROPERLY ON THE MACHINE AT ALL TIMES.
PRESSURE LIMITER IS SET AT 60 PSI. ANY
REQUIRED INFLATION ABOVE 60 PSI SHOULD BE
PERFORMED IN AN INFLATION CHAMBER/SAFETY
CAGE.
The Inflation Pedal pressure limiter helps prevent inflation
of standard size or larger tires or tubes beyond 60 PSI to
minimize risk of explosion. This device is for the safety of
the operator and bystanders. Proper operation of the pressure limiter is essential to safe operation of the machine.
(See Fig 15.9)
Fig 15.10
3. Depress Inflation Pedal to start air flow through the
hose and into the tank. Maintain a steady pressure for
constant flow.
4. Watch the rising pressure on the tank gauge and the
gauge on the machine. As tank pressure reaches 60 PSI,
the pressure limiter should stop the air flow automatically.
Both gauges should read 60 PSI ± 5 PSI.
5. If the pressure exceeds 60 PSI, adjust the knob on
the regulator by lifting the locking cover and turning
COUNTERCLOCKWISE. After adjustment is made, secure
cover in the locked position. (See Fig 15.11)
