INFLATION
WARNING
Tyre infl ation is a dangerous operation. Always
infl ate tyres in the strictest observance of the
following instructions.
ATTENTION
During this stage of operations noise levels of
85 dB(A) may be present. We recommend that
the operator wears hearing protectors.
WARNING
During the bead insertion and infl ation proce-
dure, safety goggles and ear defenders must
be worn.
DANGER
The machine, even if it limits pressure, does not
provide suffi cient protection against exploding
tyres during infl ation.
Failure to observe the following instructions will
make tyre infl ation extremely dangerous.
DANGER
USERS MUST ABSOLUTELY NEVER exceed
the pressure recommended by the tyre manu-
facturer. Tyres may explode if infl ated beyond
these limits or the structures may incur serious
damage not visible at the time. KEEP THE
HANDS AND BODY WELL CLEAR OF THE TYRE
DURING INFLATION. Make sure you are well
concentrated during this stage of operations
and make frequent checks on the tyre pressure
to avoid the risk of excess infl ation. Exploding
tyres can cause serious injury or death.
