HORIZONTAL POSITION FOR
TIRE/WHEEL:
WARNING:
Always wear OSHA and ANSI
approved safety gloves and eye
protection when using the bead
seating tool. Make sure the area is
clear of bystanders or hazardous
materials before operating.
WARNING:
For your safety it is very important to
please check that the safety insert clip
(16) is securely fastened around the air
release button (18) before use. This
will prevent unintentional air release
from occurring.
1. Position the wheel and tire flat on a
tire stand so that the lower side wall is
slightly off the floor.
2. Be sure to seat the lower tire bead
on the bottom flange of the wheel.

3. Before attempting to seat the bead
make sure barrel flange (11) is on top
(on the same side as the valve
assembly (8) -shown on page 2).
Rotate barrel to this position if
necessary before proceeding.
4. Firmly hold the bead seater by the
handle and position barrel at an
approximate 45° downward angle
and place the barrel flange (11) on the
upper edge of the wheel rim opposite
the tire valve into the opening
between the tire and rim.
See drawing below.
5. Carefully remove the safety insert
clip and depress the air release but-
ton, releasing air into the tire. When
finished place the safety insert clip
securely around the air release button,
before and after each use.
6. Once you have successfully seated
the tire, connect an air supply line to
the tire valve to complete tire inflation
to correct pressure.

CAUTION: This method should
only be used when there is a
large gap between the wheel rim
and tire bead or if the tire is too
heavy.
WARNING:
If the tire and wheel are not properly
supported, they may fall forward when
inflating causing harm to the bead
seater operator. PLEASE USE
EXTREME CAUTION!
1. Position the tire and wheel so that
it is tilted slightly back and secure it
with a tire wedge. Make sure that the
tire and wheel are supported away
from the wall to be sure once inflated
the tire and wheel DO NOT FALL
FORWARD CAUSING INJURY.
2. The back bead of the tire (furthest
from the operator) should be seated
against the wheel rim trapping out any
air. The front or wide flange of the
wheel should be facing the operator
with the tire valve stem positioned at
the bottom of the tire.
3. Rotate the barrel so the barrel
flange (11) is underneath (on the
opposite side of the valve assembly
(8) -shown on page 2).
4. Firmly hold the bead seater by the
handle and position barrel at an
approximate 45° downward angle
