5.1.1 Removing Hydrofill from Tire or

Tube within Tire

Be sure you’ve read and understood the warning
notices and general instructions in paragraph 5.1.

If tire or tube within tire is on the forklift, use a jack to
raise the forklift until the tire is slightly deflected and
the valve is at the bottom in the valve drain position,
Fig. 5.1. Use jack stands to support the forklift in the
raised position.

Connect core ejector tool (1, Fig. 5.4) to valve stem
as described in paragraph 5.1.10.

With the pump control in the CHECK position,
unscrew and retract core housing into ejector body.

Start pump and turn pump control to EVACUATE
position and run until tire is completely evacuated.

Check to determine if the valve stem is plugged by
removing the core ejector tool. Run a piece of wire
through the stem to make sure it is not plugged.

Turn pump control to CHECK position, stop pump,
replace core housing in valve stem, stop pump and
disconnect core ejector.

If there is no tube within the tire, unseat beads and
demount front bead from rim and pump remaining
hydrofill solution from tire.
