OPERATION
FOREIGN SUBSTANCES IN TIRES
Tires which have been in service may contain foreign substances such as leak sealers. It is important
that these substances are not pulled into the NitroPRO unit during the deflation process, resulting in
possible performance issues and costly repairs not covered by RTI’s warranty.
When servicing a vehicle, first check the valve stems and valve stem caps for any type of fluid or
foreign substance. If there is any concern of a foreign substance or leak sealer in the tires, manually
deflate the tires and just inflate them with the NTF-230. Manually deflate the tires a second time for
maximum purity. Then check the deflators for any indication of fluids or foreign substances. Follow a
four step “deflate-inflate-deflate-inflate” process to achieve desired nitrogen purity.
