TIRE INFLATION
The unit is equipped with a Pressure Limiter/Regulator to
assist the operator with proper tire inflation. The Pressure
Limiter will keep most car and light truck tires from inflat-
ing beyond 60 PSI. It is the operators responsibility to
follow all instructions and to control inflation pressure as
specified in these instructions. (See Fig 14.4)
CHECK THE FUNCTION OF THE PRESSURE LIMITER
REGULARLY. MAINTAIN IT ACCORDING TO THE
INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED IN THIS MANUAL FOR
SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION. DO NOT TAMPER
WITH OR ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE PRESSURE LIM-
ITER. TIRES REQUIRING INFLATION BEYOND 60 PSI
SHOULD ONLY BE INFLATED IN A SAFETY CAGE.

Position One - Tire Pressure - With the Ination Hose
attached to the tire valve and the pedal in this position, the
air gauge will register the air pressure in the tire.
Whenever your foot is removed from the pedal, it will
return to this position. (See Fig 14.2)
Position Two - Tire Ination - With the Ination Hose at-
tached to the tire valve and the pedal depressed, line
pressure is allowed to ow through the valve and into
the tire for ination. Tire pressure is not indicated on the
gauge in this position. (See Fig 14.3)
TIRE FAILURE UNDER PRESSURE IS HAZARDOUS.
THIS TIRE CHANGER IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A
SAFETY DEVICE TO CONTAIN EXPLODING TIRES,
TUBES, WHEELS, OR BEAD SEALING EQUIPMENT.
INSPECT TIRE AND WHEEL CAREFULLY FOR MATCH,
WEAR, OR DEFECTS BEFORE MOUNTING. ALWAYS
USE APPROVED TIRE BEAD LUBRICANT DURING
MOUNTING AND INFLATION. THE INFLATION PEDAL,
LOCATED AT THE CENTER OF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE
MACHINE, CONTROLS THE FLOW OF AIR THROUGH
THE INFLATION HOSE.
