• Lower the bead breaking arm by about 5 cm (2 or 3 inches) to keep the upper bead of
the tyre inside the open centre during rotation.
• Rotate the tyre and make the necessary adjustments until the upper bead has been
mounted.
• It may be useful to assist the operation with a second RunFlat gripper and/or the bead
presser accessory, if available.
• Using the bead breaker disc, remove the RunFlat grippers used.
• Connect the inflation line to the valve for bead insertion.
WARNING
Inflation is well known to be a dangerous operation. It must be carried out in accord-
ance with the instructions below. Safety goggles with plain lenses and safety footwear
must be worn.
ATTENTION
During this operation, noise levels assessed at 85 dB(A) may occur. We therefore rec-
ommend that the operator wears ear protectors.
DANGER
Although the machine limits the pressure, it does not provide sufficient protection if
the tyre bursts during inflation.
Failure to comply with the instructions below will make tyre inflation dangerous.
DANGER
NEVER exceed the pressure recommended by the tyre manufacturer. Tyres may burst
if they are inflated beyond these limits or their structures may incur serious damage
not visible at the time. KEEP THE HANDS AND THE WHOLE BODY WELL AWAY FROM
THE TYRE DURING INFLATION. Make sure you are concentrated during this operation
and check the tyre pressure continuously to avoid excess inflation. A bursting tyre can
cause serious injury or even death.
- Make sure that the wheel on which the tyre has been mounted is firmly clamped to the
turntable using the clamping device 1 fig. 31. Also make sure that the tool head and the
bead breaker unit are well clear of the working area, if possible in the rest position.
- Fix a new valve to the rim.
- Connect the Doyfe union of the inflation line 2 fig. 31 to the stem of the valve, after
removing the cap. Inflate the tyre by pressing Pedal 3 fig. 31. The tyre expands, bringing
the beads into the position where they create a seal.
- Continue inflating up to the maximum value of 3.5 bar to position the tyre correctly on the
rim. Make sure you are concentrated during this operation and check the tyre pressure
on the Air pressure display pressure gauge 4 fig. 31 continuously to avoid over-inflating.
