Inflation
WARNING
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. Excessive pressure can cause tires to
explode, causing serious injury or death to
operator or bystander.
1. Make sure both beads are seated. When both
beads are seated, the tire is ready for inflation.
2. Replace the valve core if it was removed.
3. Depress the inflation pedal to position 2 to inflate
the tire. The pressure limiter will cycle the air flow as
described earlier. On most tires, the pressure limiter
will cease air flow at approximately 60 PSI. On smaller
volume tires the pressure may be higher.
4. Important: 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 air hose must
have enough length between the chuck and the opera-
tion/in-line valve to allow the operator to stand outside
the trajectory.
U. If you change tires defined as truck tires, they
must be inflated per OSHA instructions.
