OPERATION
2. Be sure to seat the lower tire bead on the bottom ange of the wheel.
3. Before attempting to seat the bead, make sure barrel ange is on top (on the same side as the air
release handle) Rotate barrel to this position id necessary before proceeding.
4. Firmly hold the bead seater by the handle and position the barrel at an approximate 45 degree
downward angle and place the barrel ange on the upper edge of the wheel rim opposite the tire
valve into the opening between the tire and rim.
5. Take the other hand and quickly turn the air release valve to open, releasing air into the tire.
6. Once you have successfully seated the tire, connect an air supply line to the tire valve to complete
tire ination to correct pressure.
USING THE BEAD SEATER FOR HORIZONTAL POSITION FOR TIRE/WHEEL:
USING THE BEAD SEATER FOR VERTICAL POSITION FOR TIRE/WHEEL:
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.
1. Position the tire and wheel so that it is tilted slightly back and secure it with a tire wedge. Make
sure the tire and wheel are supported away from the wall to be sure once inated the tire and wheel
do not fall forward, causing injury.
2. The back bead of the tire (furthest from operator) should be seated against the wheel rim trapping
out any air. The front or wide ange 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 ange is underneath (on the opposite side if the air release handle).
4. Firmly hold the bead seater by the handle and position barrel at an approximate 45 degree
downward angle and place the barrel ange on the edge of the wheel, opposite the tire valve, into the
opening between the tire and rim.
5. Take the other hand and quickly turn the air release valve to open, releasing air into the tire.
6. Once you have successfully seated the tire, connect an air supply line to the tire valve to complete
