SPECIFICATIONS ___________________________________________________________
Min/Max Compressed Air Supply 100 to 175 psi (6.9 to 12.0 bar)
Dimensional data 13.06 x 20.88 x 48.75 in (33.2 x 53 x 123.8 cm)
Weight 120 lbs (54.4 kgs)
Specifications shown below are at an air temperature of 75° F (24° C) and a supply air pressure of 125psi (8.6
bar). These specifications are intended to be a baseline to result in the production of 95% pure Nitrogen. The
output flow of Nitrogen has been pre-set to 3.2 scfm (5.1 Nm³/hr) per membrane. Changes to air temperature,
supply air pressure or supply air flow will change the result of Nitrogen purity.

INTENDED USE _____________________________________________________________
The Nitrogen Inflation System is a pneumatic device designed to generate deoxygenated air for the purpose of
inflating vehicle tires.
CAUTION
Before using this product, read and fully understand the operating
instructions and all decals on the product. This is necessary to
prevent injury to the operator and damage to the product.
Do not attempt to use this product for anything other than its
intended purpose.
Use of this product should be in a suitably ventilated shop.
Operate valves slowly to prevent damage to coalescing filter.
Use of this product is only permitted in places free from explosion
or fire hazard.
Do not use this product if it is visibly worn, distorted or damaged.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS _______________________________________________
1. Unpack and remove unit from shipping carton and pallet.
2. Inspect the unit for any visible damage.
3. Make sure the installation location is free from explosion or fire hazard and is a suitably ventilated;
otherwise, ventilate the area periodically during use of the equipment.
4. Make sure the plumbing from the air compressor to the Nitrogen Generator is made of an appropriately
rated copper, steel or aluminum and is at least 30 ft. in length.
5. Install on a solid level wall.
6. Anchor the unit to the wall with 3/8 anchor bolts (not supplied) utilizing the four mounting tab holes on the
back of the unit.
7. Connect the air supply line to the inlet on the side of the unit.
8. Connect the nitrogen supply line to the deoxygenated air outlet on the side of the unit.
NOTE:
The Nitrogen generator has a filter system that captures oil, water and other contaminants. However, if your
air supply system generates an excessive amount of water, etc., it may be desirable to install an air dryer.
NOTICE:
The presence of any oil in the Nitrogen Membrane will void the
manufacturer’s warranty.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS _________________________________________________
1. Slowly rotate valve lever on the front of the unit, from the “OFF” position to the “ON” position.
2. Nitrogen is now being produced and vehicle tires can then be filled or a N2storage tank can be filled.
3. To sample the nitrogen purity the nitrogen generator is producing, use the optional nitrogen analyzer and
check it at the sampling port (front panel, above the ON/OFF valve) just as you would check a nitrogen
filled tire.
4. When not in use, Slowly rotate valve lever on the front of the unit, from the “ON” position to the “OFF”
position.

MAINTENANCE _____________________________________________________________
NOTE: To avoid personal injury or damage to the Nitrogen Inflation System, permit only qualified personnel to
perform maintenance. When cleaning or replacing filter elements and automatic float drains, shut
off the supply air by turning the valve lever on the front of the unit to “OFF”. After the Inlet
Pressure Gauge reads zero, you can service the filters.
See repair parts breakdown for replacement parts.
ALWAYS: Keep Nitrogen Inflation System clean.
DAILY: Check the automatic float drain on all filters for proper operation.
If the automatic float drain should become stuck open or inoperable, shut off the
air supply (see NOTE above). Before servicing let the pressure bleed off from the
filter. Remove the bottom cap from the bottom of the filter. The drain can be
cleaned in hot soapy water. DO NOT attempt to disassemble the drain. If the
drain is still inoperable after cleaning, it will have to be replaced. When installing
a new drain, make sure the o-ring is installed on the bottom stem before screwing
it into the bottom cap. Finger tighten only.
WEEKLY: Clean the automatic float drain on both filters.
See above.
BI-YEARLY: Clean particulate filter element and replace coalescing element.
