Tire Inflation
Stand behind the tread of the tire during inflation. Use only the air chucks that are clip-on type with the inflation group.
Connect air chuck (1) to the tire valve. Pressure in the
tire will show on the low pressure gauge when pressure
adjusting screw (2) is in the out position or the cylinder
valve is closed. When cylinder pressure is equal to or
less than pressure in the tire, a higher pressure cylinder
is needed.
To inflate the tire, turn pressure adjusting screw (2)
clockwise until the desired pressure shows on the low
pressure gauge. Tire pressure can be checked as
shown in step 5. Never adjust the regulator above 1060
kPa (154 psi); above this pressure nitrogen will be
released into the atmosphere.
If the tire pressure is too high, push the valve core in the
valve stem to remove nitrogen and decrease pressure to
the correct amount.
Disconnect the hose from the tire valve and install the
valve cap. Close the cylinder valve. Remove the
regulator and put the protection caps on the cylinders.
