• MSW WindStream Inflator Head and CO2cartridges
• MSW Patch Kit
REPAIRING A FLAT TIRE AND TUBE
1. Inspect rim and rim tape. Clear debris from inner tire surface of rim.
Replace rim and rim tape if damaged. Ensure all spoke holes and nipples
are covered. To repair the tube with the MSW Patch Kit, see instructions
below this section.
2. Install one side of the tire onto the rim.
3. Inflate tube slightly so that it is round but smaller than the tire.
To slightly inflate the tube with the MSW WindStream Inflator Head
and CO2cartridges, see instructions below this section.
4. Insert tube valve into the valve hole on the rim. Install lock nut onto the
valve, leave loose against the rim.
5. Push tube into the partially installed tire. Ensure the tube is not twisted.
Valve should be perpendicular to the rim.
6. Carefully push the loose tire sidewall over the rim lip, starting opposite of
the valve. Do not pinch tube between the rim and tire. Work around the tire
until the tire is fully installed. If unable to install the tire by hand, use a tire
lever to gain leverage. Do not to pinch the tube or damage the rim with
a tire lever.
7. Visually inspect the space between the tire sidewall and both sides of the
rim by squeezing the tire. Make sure the tube is not pinched between the
rim and tire.
8. Inflate tube so that it is pressing against the tire in all locations and then
repeat Step 7.
9. Continue to inflate tube slowly. If the tire is migrating off of the rim, stop,
deflate the tube, and repeat. Inflate the tube until the tire bead is fully
seated on the rim.
10. Adjust pressure to the pressure limit indicated on the tube or the tire,
whichever is less.
11. Close air valve, finger tighten lock nut against the rim, and install valve cap.
12. Inspect the tire for any bulges, delamination or obvious defects.

USING THE MSW WINDSTREAM
INFLATOR HEAD
FOR A SCHRADER VALVE
1. Do not install a cartridge until ready to inflate.
2. Place the wider, smooth end of the inflator head onto the valve,
and thread it on in a clockwise direction until it is fully engaged.
3. Thread the cartridge into the knurled end of the inflator head until
it is threaded fully. You may hear a hiss when the seal on the cartridge
is punctured.
WARNING: As compressed gas leaves the cartridge, it drops to a very
low temperature and could cause frostbite to exposed skin.
4. To Inflate your tire, press down and compress the spring. You will hear the
gas being released into the tire. Release tension to stop the flow of the gas.
Do not remove the cartridge until all the gas is discharged.
5. Inflate to a pressure within the range recommended by the tire manufacturer
on the tire’s sidewall. Consult the cartridge manufacturer’s website to see
what pressure you can expect based on your tire size and cartridge size.
FOR A PRESTA VALVE
1. Do not install a cartridge until ready to inflate.
2. Make sure the valve is open. Place the wider, smooth end of the inflator
head onto the end of the valve.
3. Thread the cartridge into the knurled end of the inflator head until
it is threaded fully. You may hear a hiss when the seal on the cartridge
is punctured.
WARNING: As compressed gas leaves the cartridge, it drops to a very
low temperature and could cause frostbite to exposed skin.
4. To Inflate your tire, press down and compress the spring. You will hear the
gas being released into the tire. Release tension to stop the flow of the gas.
Do not remove the cartridge until all the gas is discharged.
5. Inflate to a pressure within the range recommended by the tire manufacturer
on the tire’s sidewall. Consult the cartridge manufacturer’s website to see
what pressure you can expect based on your tire size and cartridge size.
ONGOING MAINTENANCE
