SPECIFICATIONS ___________________________________________________________
Operating Temperature 40° to 140° F (4° to 60° C)
Min/Max Compressed Air Supply 100 to 175 psi (6.9 to 12.0 bar)
Digital Inflator Accuracy +/- 0.5% of full scale reading
Display Increments 1 psi (0.1 bar)
Dimensional data 24 x 24.5 x 54 in (61x 62 x 137 cm)
Weight: 225 lbs (102 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.
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. Connect an air supply line to your compressed air source.Be certain there is at least 30 feet of
uninsulated metallic plumbing with a minimum I.D. of 3/8” between the air compressor holding tank and
the inlet port of the Nitrogen system. This distance is recommended to allow moist air to condense before
reaching the Nitrogen system.
NOTE:
•The air supply line feeding your Nitrogen system must not have an oiler or a regulator adjusted
below the minimum required pressure.. An oiler will send oil to the Nitrogen system which will
prematurely plug the pre-filters.
•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.
•The air supply should be 125 psi (8.6 bar) minimum.
________________________________________________________________________
NOTICE:
The presence of any oil in the Nitrogen Membrane will void the
manufacturer’s warranty.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS _____________________________________________________________
Converting air filled tires to Nitrogen
1. Place the Fill Control Valve handle to the STOP position and plug in inflator to turn on the power.
2. Firmly attach the tire fill hoses to the valve stems of the tire and ensure that leaks do not exist.
3. Set the tire pressure with the and buttons on the inflator.
Note: The target pressure should be the vehicles recommended tire pressure found on the sticker inside
the driver’s door jamb or inside the fuel access door.
4. Turn the Fill Control Valve handle to FILL.
5. Press the button to start the Nitrogen conversion.
6. When the alarm sounds the cycle is complete.
7. Turn the Fill Control Valve handle to STOP and remove hoses from valve stems.
8. To turn off the power to the inflator, unplug from receptacle.
Filling Tires to two different pressures
Some vehicles require two different tire pressure settings from the front tires to the rear. In this example, use
target pressures of 32 psi in the front and 40 psi in the rear.
1. Go through steps 1 through 6, as mentioned above in “Converting Air-filled Tires to Nitrogen” using the lowest
of the two pressures (32 psi) as the target pressure.
2. After getting through step 6, turn Fill Control Valve handle to STOP. Disconnect the hoses from the tires that
are at their final pressure (In this example the front tires are at 32 psi).
3. Change the final pressure for the remaining two tires using or buttons (to 40 psi with the + button for this
example).
4. Turn the red Fill Control Valve handle to ‘FILL’ position.
5. Press the button.
6. When the alarm sounds the cycle is complete.
7. Turn the Fill Control Valve handle to STOP and remove hoses from valve stems.
8. To turn off the power to the inflator, unplug from receptacle.

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, turn
the Air Inlet On/Off valve to “OFF”.
See repair parts breakdown for replacement parts.
ALWAYS: Keep Nitrogen Inflation System clean.
DAILY: Check the automatic float drain on both filters for proper operation.
If the automatic float drain should become stuck open or inoperable, shut off the
air supply (see NOTE above). 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.
The particulate filter element is stainless steel and should never need replacing.
The element can be removed and cleaned with soap & water and reinstalled.
Replace .01 micron coalescing filter element (right filter).
Order part number 05-0062 .01 Micron coalescing filter element (2-pack).
WEEKLY: Clean the automatic float drain on both filters.
See above.
BI-YEARLY: Clean particulate filter element and replace coalescing element.
