7.8.1 Selecting the tire
!Before selecting the tire, you should know all
of its technical features, technical parameters,
characteristics and the safety grade of the tire. The
related information is marked on the sidewall of the
tire.
iBefore mounting the tire, please change the valve
insert to an insert for a tubeless tire.
$Confirm whether the tire parameters match the
parameters of the rim. Also make sure that the
rim is not deformed and the center hole is not
damaged. At the same time, ensure that the
surface of the rim has no rust or cracks and that
there are no burrs at the nozzle.
$Confirm that the tire is in perfect condition and
without any damage.
7.8.2 Preparing the tire

7.9 Procedure for mounting/demounting
alloy rims
iOn some alloy rims, the rim channel at the middle
of the rim is very shallow or there is no rim channel.
The figure below shows this:
iThe demounting process for the wheel and
demounting the top tire bead differ, since the hook
cannot catch a suitable position. Depending on the
situation, the operator needs to find best position,
i.e. where the resistance for the wheel is the lowest.
8. Inflation
Inflation can lead to hazardous situations.
The user must undertake the necessary
precautions to ensure safety.
¶Wear hearing protection.
¶Wear safety goggles.
¶To protect the user from potential
dangerduring inflation, only inflate the tire
to a maximum 3.5bar while the tire is on
the rim-chuck plate.
¶Avoid any distractions while inflating.
Constantly observe the tire inflation
pressure on the pressure gauge to avoid
over-inflation.
¶When inflating, avoid all distractions.
!During operation, the noise may reach 85dB(A), for
this reason, the operator must wear the appropriate
protective gear.
!The MS 201 is equipped with a pressure-limiting
valve, but if the condition of tire and rim is not good
or the operation is performed incorrect, there is still
the possibility of the tire bursting.
!Do not exceed the maximum pressure specified by
the manufacturer.
During the inflation process, the operator should keep
away from the tire as far as possible.
¶Carefully check if the size of the rim is same to the
size of the tire.
¶Check the wear state of the tire or whether there is
damage or not.
¶During the inflation process, frequently check the
pressure inside the tire.
¶The max. inflation pressure is 3.5bar, do not exceed
manufacturer's recommended pressure under any
circumstances.
¶Keep hands and body away from the tire.

8.1 Inflating tubeless tires
1. Ensure that the rim is held securely on the turntable
and that the mounting head and tire pressing disk
are not in contact with the tire. If possible, they
should be positioned to the farthest point.
2. Install a new valve in the rim.
3. Make sure that the entire tire has been lubricated.
4. Remove the cap from the valve and place the
inflation gun on the top of the insert to inflate the
tire.
5. Interrupt the inflation process occasionally and
check the pressure in the tire until the specified
value is reached. Do not exceed the max. pressure.
The pressure must not be greater than 3.5bar under
any circumstances.
iTubeless tires need a relatively high volumetric flow
of air. If air flow is inadequate, the bead will not
pass over the hump. To increase the air flow, you
can take out the valve insert.
6. Check the connection between the tire bead and
rim.
iThe connection between the tire bead and rim must
be perfect. If there is problem, you must deflate the
tire, unseat the tire bead again and relubricate the
tire bead. Rotate the tire on the rim and then inflate
once again.
7. Screw in the valve insert.
8. Connect the inflation gun and then press the deflate
button to remove the residual air.
9. Attach the valve cap.
8.2 Inflating tubed tires
1. Ensure that the rim is held securely on the turntable
and that the mounting head and tire pressing disk
are not in contact with the tire.
iIf possible, they should be positioned to the farthest
point.
2. Make sure that the entire tire has been lubricated
3. Remove the valve, place the inflation gun head on
the head of the air valve and depress the inflation
pedal to inflate the tire.
4. Push the valve on the tube to release the air
between the tube and tire. Otherwise, the tube will
be damaged.
5. Interrupt the inflation process occasionally and
check the pressure in the tire until the specified
value is reached. Do not exceed the max. pressure.
The pressure must not be greater than 3.5bar under
any circumstances.
6. Screw in the valve insert.
7. Connect the inflation gun and then press the deflate
button to remove the residual air.
