Bead Seating And Inflating; Important Safety Rules - Nussbaum TC 310 Manual De Instrucciones

ENGLISH • Instructions manual
SPECIAL WHEELS
When equipped with special optional accessories, the TC 310 - Liga C 250 is able to work on special wheels: PAX SYSTEM (with
PT+KPX), SR Support Ring (with PT+KSR) and Run Flat, low profile and UHP (with PT).
The correct working procedures for these wheels are described in the instruction manuals provided with the specific accessories.
IMPORTANT: All the operations described in this section refer to machines equipped with an inflation gun.
DANGER!!
Tyre inflation is dangerous.
Follow carefully all the cautions and instructions given.
A WHEEL CAN EXPLODE IF:
1) the diameter of the rim is not exactly the same at the tyre's.
2) the rim or tyre are defective.
3) if the maximum recommended pressure is exceeded during bead seating.
4) the tyre is inflated to a pressure higher than the maximum recommended by the manufacturer.
5) the operator does not observe the requisite safety regulations.
Follow these steps:
1) Remove the valve stem.
2) Clip the valve onto the inflator chuck making sure it is properly connected.
3) Make a last check to be certain that tyre and rim diameter correspond.
4) Check to be certain that rim and beads are sufficiently lubricated. If necessary lubricate some more.
5) Seat the beads with short bursts of air. Between bursts, check the air pressure on the inflator gauge. Check to see if the beads have seated and,
if not, repeat the process. Special take must be taken when seating beads on humped or double humped anti-bead breaking rims.
6) Continue to inflate the tyre with short bursts of air and constantly checking the pressure between bursts until the required pressure has been
reached.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES!

1- Only specially trained personnel are allowed to perform these operations.
2- Do not allow others to operate or be near the tyre changer.
3- Do not mount tyre on rims if you cannot check that their diameters correspond.
4- Check to make sure the rim and the tyre have the same diameter.
5- Check to make sure the rim and the tyre are not damaged.
6- Seat beads and inflate tyres with short bursts of air checking the pressure frequently on the gauge.
7- NEVER exceed 3.5 bar (50 PSI) during bead seating operation.
IMPORTANT! If a higher tyre inflation pressure is required, remove the wheel from the tyre changer and continue the inflation procedure
with the wheel inside a special protection cage (commercially available).
8- After bead seating operation, NEVER exceed the maximum inflation pressure given by the tyre manufacturer.
9- ALWAYS keep hands and entire body back from inflating tyre.

10.5 BEAD SEATING AND INFLATING

DANGER!!
Tyre or rim failure under pressure is hazardous and any resulting explosion can propel the tyre
upward and outward with sufficient energy to cause serious injury or death to operator or
bystander.
Though this tyre changer is equipped with a pressure limiter set at 3.5 bar (50 Psi), it is not
intended to be a safety device to contain exploding tyres, tubes, rims or bead sealing equipment
and, hence, does not eliminate the risk of and damage from any such explosion.
