INFLATION
WARNING
Inflation is a notoriously hazardous
operation. It must be carried out in ac-
cordance with the instructions provided
below.
WARNING
Noise levels may reach 85 dB(A) during
this procedure. Therefore we advise
operators to wear hearing protection
devices.
WARNING
During bead insertion and inflation, the
use of goggles and ear protectors is
recommended.
DANGER
Although it does have a pressure limiting
function, the machine cannot guarantee
sufficient protection if the tyre explodes
during inflation. Failure to comply with
the instructions below will render tyre
inflation dangerous.
DANGER
NEVER exceed the pressure value re-
commended by the tyre manufacturer.
Tyres may explode if inflated beyond
these limits or their structure may be
damaged seriously although not visibly
at that moment. KEEP YOUR HANDS
AND BODY AWAY FROM THE TYRE DU-
RING INFLATION. Avoid being distracted
during this operation and check the tyre
pressure often to prevent the tyre from
being excessively inflated. A bursting
tyre can cause serious injuries or even
death.

Inflating procedure
The machine has a pedal for inflating the
tyre and a pressure gauge for reading the
tyre pressure.
- Release the wheel from the sliding clamps
on the table top.
- Bring the horizontal arm to the fully ex-
tended position.
- Lower the vertical rod until it touches the
rim.
- Lock the horizontal arm and the vertical rod
in the positions described above fig. 32.
- Connect the Doyfe inflator chuck on the
air hose to the valve stem.
Inflate the tyre by operating the proper pedal
at short intervals; check the pressure gauge
frequently to make sure that the pressure
NEVER exceeds the maximum pressure
specified by the tyre manufacturer.
