My name is Peter Vinci and I am the president of IPA®. I would like to thank you for
your interest in IPA®’s product line and share my commitment to you, our products
and our policies. In today’s world, we have all experienced the lack of service and
consideration demonstrated by many companies after you buy their products. They
say whatever they can to make the sale, and then it’s like pulling teeth to get any ser-
vice response out of them. I know this myself rsthand and because of this, I want to
be sure that your experience with IPA® meets your expectations and that IPA®never
disappoints you with our service or customer response.
To prove my commitment to you, if for any reason, you are not happy with one of our
products or more importantly, with the response from our customer service or any
member of the IPA®team, I invite you to contact me directly via my email, peter@
ipatools.com or call me at 888-786-7899. Your satisfaction is more important to me
than the sale itself. We will not be in business for long if we don’t make you com-
pletely happy with our products and service. I want IPA®to be different and be known
for its quality and service.
With that said, please take a look at our product line. You will see innovative rst time
products that were created to help you do your job faster and better than before.
I would also like to invite you to critique our products. If you can think of a better way
to make them or changes that will make them work better, please contact me directly
and I will be sure to look into it. If you have an innovation and would like some feed-
back, give me a call.
From all of us at IPA®, we thank you for taking the time to review our product line and
wish you and your family the very best of everything.

ERS MAY OCCUR.
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation, if not avoided, will result in death or seri-
ous injury. The possible hazards are shown in the adjoining symbols or explained in
the text.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury. The possible hazards are shown in the adjoining symbols or explained
in the text.
CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation, if not avoided, may result in minor or
major injury. The possible hazards are shown in the adjoining symbols or explained in
the text.
.
POTENTIAL EXPLOSIVE AIR HAZARD Pneumatic pressures
used with this equipment can cause explosive failures on damaged
equipment.
POTENTIAL EYE HAZARD Wear OSHA approved safety glasses.
High air pressures create hazardous situations for eyes.
WARNING
When applying air to tires, adhere to common safety practices to avoid
dangerous tire blow outs.

DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
TheMobileTirePressureEqualizerismadewithonlyqualitycomponents.
Gauges: Two 3.5 in. glycerin lled, temperature compensated, within 1% accuracy
Regulators: Two high-ow adjustable regulators
Fittings: All internal and external ttings are optimized for maximum air volume
Hoses: Five color-coded 3/8 in. hoses
Body: 20 gauge powder-coated steel
Tires: Pneumatic (4 PSI) with steel axle
Handle: Telescoping heavy duty design
TheMobileTirePressureEqualizer is designed to be the most accurate analog tire
ination machine possible. The utilization of a single gauge arrangement avoids
“tolerance stacking” when comparing air pressures of two or more tires. This ensures
an accurate, consistent result every time. The MobileTirePressureEqualizer
features two regulators, two gauges and ve different color hoses. The black hose is
intended for the front steer tire on the tractor/truck/van and is controlled by dedicat-
ed toggle switches, gauge and regulator. The red, yellow, blue and gray hoses are
intended for use on the drive tires on tandem axle arrangements. The four colored
hoses are each controlled by a dedicated toggle switch and are plumbed into the
right hand side gauge. The control panel provides the recommended wheel designa-
tion for each hose to aid your shop in accurate and consistent data logging.

AXLE AND WHEEL INSTALLATION
1. Insert axle (Fig. 2-A) into left and right axle bores (Fig. 2-B) at rear underside of
the MobileTirePressureEqualizer.
2. Slide one spacer (Fig. 2-C) onto each side of the axle (Fig. 2-A).
3. Install one wheel (Fig. 2-D) onto each side of the axle (Fig. 2-A) with valve stem
facing away from the MobileTirePressureEqualizer.
4. Insert one E-clip (Fig. 2/3-E) into the groove (Fig. 3-F) in the axle end in front of
the wheel to each side.
5. CHECK TIRE PRESSURE – MUST NOT EXCEED 8 PSI.
(Optimum pressure is 4 PSI.)

FOOT INSTALLATION
• Remove nuts (Fig. 4-B) and washers (Fig. 4-C) from the 2 studs(Fig. 4-D) at
bottom side of the unit.
• Install the foot (Fig. 4-A) over the 2 studs (Fig. 4-D) with the 90 degree bend
(right angle) facing forward.
• Slide one washer (Fig. 4-C) onto each
stud (Fig. 4-D).
• Install and tighten one nut (Fig. 4-B)
onto each stud (Fig. 4-D).

GAUGE SPECIFICATIONS
Temperature compensated: The ICD (internal compensating device) compensates
the gauge (to 150F) for changes in internal case pressure caused by uctuations in
ambient temperature. (Especially critical in lower pressure and vacuum gauges.)
Performance Data:
• Accuracy ±1% Full Scale Grade 1A
• Design ANSI/ASME B40.1
• Operating Temp. -40 to 150F
Temperature Error: Additional error when temperature changes from reference
temperature of 68F (20C) +-0.4% for every 18F (10C) rising or falling as a percentage
of Span.
TIRE PRESSURE CHECK
1. Turn all switches to the CLOSED position.
2. Connect each air chuck to corresponding wheel.
3. Open one toggle at a time to read the tire’s corresponding air pressure.
4. Repeat steps 1 and 3 for each tire.
INFLATION AND EQUALIZATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure all switches/valves are in closed position.
2. Connect clean, dry shop air to MobileTirePressureEqualizer.
3. Open shop air valve.
4. Adjust regulator(s) to desired PSI.
5. Place all toggle switches in open position.
NOTE: TheinationtimesprovidedbytheMobileTirePressureEqualizerare
directly related to the following factors – shop air CFM capability, shop air hose
ID,andaveragestartingPSIoftire(s)tobeinated.
6. Wait approximately three to ve minutes, then note air pressure on gauge(s). The
gauge reects the average air pressure of all tires within its circuit.
7. Once air pressure on the gauge(s) reects the desired air pressure, wait one
additional minute to ensure full equalization of air pressure.
STOWING HOSES AND AIR CHUCKS
The MobileTirePressureEqualizer has been equipped with several options for
stowing hoses. When rolled up properly, all hoses can be stowed inside the lower
storage compartment. This type of storage is intended for transport or longer term
storage. Usage of the front mounted holsters may be ideal, even when stowing
hoses. During daily use, the air chucks should be lowered into the front holsters, and
the bulk of the hose should be coiled up and hung by the side hangers. You may also
choose to leave the hoses on the shop oor and insert the air chucks into the front
holster between jobs.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
• The MobileTirePressureEqualizershould be kept in a temperature controlled
environment. Only clean dry shop air should be used. Wipe down and clean the
hoses and face panel regularly.
• The pneumatic tires should be inated to 4 PSI.
• It is recommended that the air gauges are checked every six months to ensure
they have maintained accuracy. To have the air gauges factory calibrated,
call 845-679-4500.
