FAQs

What is the maximum pressure the tank can hold?

The tank is rated for a maximum pressure of 150psi (10.4bar).

Do I need an air compressor to use this tool?

Yes, you need an external air compressor to fill the 19L tank before using it to seat tyre beads.

How is the air released from the tank?

Air is released via a controlled diaphragm valve operated by a push-button trigger.

Can this tool be used on motorcycle tyres?

While primarily designed for cars, commercials, and agricultural vehicles, it may be usable on some larger motorcycle tyres, but always check compatibility and use with caution.

What maintenance is required for the tool?

Regularly drain moisture from the tank, clean the exterior, and inspect all components for wear. Proper storage in a dry area is also recommended.

Is the tank portable?

The tank has a nett weight of 13.2kg, making it manageable but not lightweight. It is designed for workshop use.

What does the slotted key do?

The slotted key is a safety feature designed to prevent the accidental operation of the push-button trigger when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Bead not seating even after using the tool.

Ensure the tyre is adequately lubricated around the bead. Check that the tank was filled to a sufficient pressure (recommend at least 100psi). Verify the tool's seal against the valve stem is tight.

Air leaks from the tool during operation.

Check all connections from the compressor to the tool. Inspect the diaphragm valve and trigger mechanism for damage or wear. Ensure the nozzle is creating a proper seal with the tyre valve.

Trigger will not engage.

Confirm the slotted key is removed. Check that the tank is not over-pressurized beyond its safe limit, which may engage a safety mechanism.

Gauge is not registering pressure.

Inspect the gauge for damage. Ensure the valve stem connection is clear and not obstructed. If the gauge is damaged, it may require replacement.
