INFLATING TIRES

Warning: The maximum tire pressure
capability for the NTO-200 is 5.5bar / 80psi /
0.55MPa. Small tire sizes inflate very quickly.
Make sure you do not over-inflate tires during
the nitrogen inflation process.


Begin by connecting filtered air supply (Figure 1). Then push down
thumb lever on air chuck at end of Nitrogen Fill Hose. While holding in
lever, push onto valve stem and then release (Figure 2). Press ON/OFF
button to turn on NTO-200. Hold the NTO-200 as shown in Figure 3
below and squeeze the Nitrogen inflation button to fill tires with nitrogen.
Fill tire to pressure specified by manufacturer.

NOTE: The pressure displayed (when squeezing inflation button)
represents the filling pressure; not the tire pressure. To view tire
pressure, user must release inflation button.

Continue filling tire and checking tire pressure until desired pressure is
achieved. If the tire goes above desired inflation value, press and hold
ON/OFF button to release pressure from inside tire. Check tire pressure
by releasing ON/OFF button periodically. When desired pressure is
achieved, disconnect air chuck from tire by squeezing thumb lever and
pulling off valve stem. Replace valve cap (Figure 4).

NOTE: If tire has been filled with compressed air, fully deflate using
appropriate valve release tool. Then inflate to target pressure using
the NTO-200, deflate to 50% of target pressure and refill to target
pressure. This technique increases nitrogen purity in the tires.
