Cheetah CH-5 Operation Instruction:

TSI suggests using a quick-disconnect fitting (not included) on the air line to attach the air line to the valve stem. Remove valve stem core from wheel. Set aside to replace later after bead is seated.
Lubricate tire beads and rim flanges with approved tire lubricant. Position the wheel on the tire stand to elevate both the tire and rim.
Connect the air hose to valve stem. You may have to thread the air line through the rim center if the valve stem is facing the ground. In most cases, the wide flange of the wheel should be facing up.
The lower tire bead must be resting on the wheel bead-seat area. This alignment is very important to ensure the tire will capture the air blast within the tire cavity. Now you are ready to seat the tire bead onto the rim.
Firmly hold Cheetah® tank, Lean forward slightly to hold it in position. Point the threaded barrel down into the tire. Usually this is a 45-degree angle, but will vary from one tire to another. Open valve on air hose.
Gather your footing, hold one hand onto the Cheetah® handle and the other on the discharge valve lever. Fully open the discharge valve lever quickly releasing all the air into the tire, lifting the bead.
Once the bead fully moves into position close the air supply valve. Remove the hose locking chuck from the valve stem and replace valve stem core. With experience you will recognize filling the tank to capacity isn’t necessary. The amount of air to seat the bead depends on the tire. Most tires can be seated between 40 PSI- 100 PSI. Several attempts to seat the bead may be necessary.
Make sure the valve stem core is firmly tightened in place. You are now ready to place the tire into a tire cage and proceed to inflate the tire to manufacturer’s tire pressure requirements.
Check for leaks and if necessary, repeat process. If none are present, place valve cap on valve stem and wipe off excess lubricant.
NOTE: It is not always necessary to fill the tank to maximum pressure. The required pressure will vary depending on the size and type of tire. It is best to begin with lower pressure and workup to optimum pressure for your specific tire.
Never exceed 120 PSI (Safety release valve is set to 120 PSI).
