OPERATION continued
and place the barrel flange (11) on the
edge of the wheel rim near the top of
the wheel, 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.
LUBRICATE
Lubricating all tire beads properly
before using the bead seating tool is
important. Failing to lubricate beads
may result in poor seating.
BEAD SEATING ANGLE
Always hold the bead seating tool
at an angle so that the barrel points
directly into the gap between the tire
and rim, about 45° from vertical or
horizontal depending on tire wheel
position. This is important to ensure
proper seating so that air does not hit
the outside of the tire pushing the tire
away OR the inside of the rim
disallowing air to enter the tire.
BEAD SEATING TOOL
APPLICATION
The most effective position to
apply the bead seating tool is
opposite the tire valve, and where
the gap is largest. This results in both
sides of the tire receiving an air
supply, and ensures that the
maximum amount of air enters the
tire, creating the maximum lift. If a
wedge has been properly used, the
largest gap should be opposite the
valve.
STORAGE
Always store the bead seater in a
cool, dry place, hanging by the handle
with the air release valve open to
ensure any built-up moisture drains
from the tank; this also protects the
barrel and attachments from damage.
PLEASE REVIEW ALL WARNING INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO OPERATION. SAVE THIS MAN U AL FOR FUTURE REF ER ENCE.

NEVER STORE OR TRANSPORT
A CHARGED BEAD SEATER.
ALWAYS CHARGE BEFORE USE
AND DISCHARGE AFTER USE!
WARNING:
Be cautious of compressed air
hazards, and keep away from
flammable materials and vapors.
CONSTRUCTION
The barrel is threaded on to the air
intake valve to allow for rotation.
Before operating, the barrel must be
orientated and tightened in
accordance with the manual. Pressure
gauge accuracy is +/- 10%.
AIR SUPPLY/ CHARGING
The NAPA Tire Hardware® Bead
Seater has been tested and ASME
approve to ensure quality. The
pressure release valve has been
tested and cannot exceed 165 psi (11
bar). Ensure that the bead seating tool
is only charged immediately before
use. The bead seating tool must be
charged from a clean, oil-free, dry air
supply, and should only be charged
from a low pressure airline system
(up to 165 psi/11 bar). Never fill with
anything other than air at ambient
temperature.
HEARING PROTECTION
The barrel is threaded on to the air
intake valve to allow for rotation.
Check when operating the bead
seating tool the barrel is orientated in
accordance with the manual and the
barrel has been tightened. Note that
the pressure gauge accuracy is +/-
10%.
NOISE SPECIFICATIONS
(Assuming the bead seating tool is
used, on average, 6 to 10 times per
day): Average Equivalent Noise Level
is approx. (L/AEq) < 70 dB.
Peak C Weighted Instantaneous
Sound Pressure = 135 dB = 112.46
(Measurements were taken
discharging the bead seating tool into
free air. The noise level is reduced
when discharged at a tire and rim.)

EYE PROTECTION
ALWAYS wear approved OSHA and
ANSI Z87.1-2003 approved safety
goggles when operating this tool. Be
considerate of bystanders when using
this tool, and warn them accordingly.
TIRES - EXPLOSION RISK
Before using the bead seating tool on
a tire or inflating any tire:
• ALWAYS inspect the tire for
damage.
• ALWAYS ensure that any locking
ring is secured in place.
• ALWAYS use a safety cage for
inflating large tires or tires at high
pressures.
• DO NOT over inflate the tire.
• DO NOT inflate damaged tires.
OTHER USES
Do not use the bead seater for any
other purpose than what is was
designed for. In particular:
• DO NOT store or transport a
charged tank.
• DO NOT use it for dusting down
equipment or people.
• DO NOT discharge the bead seating
tool towards anyone.
• DO NOT clean a tire with a
flammable solvent before using.
• DO NOT subject the tank to any
stress or impact that might weaken it.
