Operations
5.5 Beading the tires
Beading means the initial grip of the tire bead on
the rim, in order to allow the inflation operations and
subsequent settling in the seat on the rim.
Safety Precautions:
For safety reasons a quick-inflating valve preset to 4,5
bar is fitted upstream of the pressure gauge for the
pedal-operated inflating device.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE TIRE CHANGER TO INFLATE
TIRES.
COMPRESSED AIR DEVICES ON THE TIRE CHANGER ARE
ONLY DESIGNED TO FACILITATE THE TUBELESS TIRE
BEADING OPERATION.
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE SPECIFIED BY
THE TIRE MANUFACTURER.
THE OPERATOR MUST STAND SAFELY CLEAR FROM
THE WHEEL WHEN BEADING THE TIRE, AND PRESSURE
MUST BE CHECKED FREQUENTLY TO AVOID EXCESSIVE
PRESSURE.
BEFORE BEADING, CHECK THE CONDITION OF TIRE AND
RIM.
CHECK FOR CORRECT SEALING BETWEEN THE VALVE
AND THE FITTING AT THE END OF THE AIR HOSE. AN AIR
LEAK CAN GIVE INCORRECT PRESSURE READINGS AND
CREATE SAFETY HAZARDS.
CHECK THAT THE READING ON THE PRESSURE GAUGE
IS "ZERO" WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE.
THE COMPLETE SEATING OF THE BEAD ON THE RIM IS
A VERY DANGEROUS STAGE OF THE TIRE MOUNTING
PROCEDURE.
TO COMPLETE THE BEADING OPERATION AND INFLATE
THE TIRE CORRECTLY, PLACE IT IN AN APPROPRIATE
TYPE-APPROVED CAGE.
A TIRE BURST, WHATEVER ITS CAUSE, CAN RESULT IN
SERIOUS INjURY OR DEATH.
AVOID MOUNTING TIRES THAT ARE 1/2" SMALLER IN
DIAMETER THAN THE RIM, BECAUSE OTHERWISE IT IS
NOT POSSIBLE TO ENSURE THAT THE BEADS ARE SEALED
PROPERLY IN THEIR SEATS: THIS COULD BE A SOURCE OF
DANGER WHEN DRIVING.
Beading Tubeless tires:
Perform the beading with the wheel locked on the tire
changer.
•
Ensure that both the beads and the inside of the
rim are thoroughly lubricated.
•
Screw the valve insert.
