Page 8: General Precautions
General Precautions SAFETY SHOULD BE YOUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. IN ORDER TO PROMOTE SAFETY, ACCELLA TIRE FILL SYSTEMS WANTS TO EMPHASIZE THE FOLLOWING: Safety Data Sheets (SDS) identify the properties of “ISO” side and “CAT” side products and the precautions that should be taken when handling them. -
Page 9: Material Precautions
Be sure to inspect all rims, lock rings, wheels and associated restraining bolts for structural defects prior to filling. While filling, use a safety cage, (photo 9a) or other OSHA approved restraining device to protect yourself. Flatproofing equipment should never be left unattended while the pump is in operation. Please refer to other reference materials, such as from the Tire Association of North America (TANA) and OSHA, on proper tire preparation and handling. -
Page 10: Tire & Wheel Preparation
Tire & Wheel Preparation Any pneumatic tire can be flatproofed regardless of pressure or rated load specifications. (photo 10a) New tires provide the best long term value, although used tires are often flatproofed. All new tires should be prestretched before filling. Inflate new tires to the maximum rated inflation pressure and maintain overnight. - Page 11 3. Prepare Totes a) Remove shipping cap. Remove foil if it is present. b) Liberally grease the threads on the tote connector and screw it onto the tote’s ball valve and hand tighten. (photo 11a) DO NOT TIGHTEN WITH A WRENCH. c) Remove dust cap from kamlock on suction/supply hose.

In addition to the pressure, you should know the estimated pounds of flatproofing material necessary to fill the tire. Accella Tire Fill Systems has a Flatproofing Weight Chart in addition to a Computerized Flatproofing Estimator on www.accellatirefill.com to help you approximate weights and costs for flatproofing tires. - Page 13 Attach fluid gun to mixing tube or whip hose. Complete assembly by attaching to manifold handle. Tighten both ends. See our TyrFil Flushless Pump Parts Catalog, for proper assembly of manifold. 7. Adjust air supply to the pump to 80 psi. Make sure the manifold hand valve is in the off position when turning pump on.

(greater than 12 ply) you will need to drill a 1/8 inch hole through the tire to assist needle insertion. (photo 14d) 9. Use of Accella Tire Fill Systems’ specially designed SmartNeedle™ Inserter will make this much easier, safer, and... - Page 15 10. After insertion of the needle the pressure will drop. It is necessary to maintain at least 20 psi (30%) until all the air is completely vented and the tire is full of flatproofing material. It is necessary to maintain at least 30% of the operating pressure to ensure that the tire beads remain seated.

Page 17: Tire Pressurization
Voids or air pockets are created when uncured material escapes from a newly flatproofed tire. Once the flatproofing material has cured, a tire with voids can be repressurized by injecting additional material through the sidewall. Contact the Accella Tire Fill Systems Technical Department prior to sidewall injection. Clean-Up Procedures Proper shutdown and cleaning of the pump and equipment is vital. - Page 18 4. Ball valves should be closed when not in use (photo 18a). 5. Close the pressure gauge ball valve and remove the tire pressure gauge. Rest the manifold on the ground or breakdown table for easier disassembly and clean-up. 6. Remove the whip hose and/or mixing tube from the manifold head (photo 18b).

“ISO” side material begins to solidify in the cup, scoop out the jelled material. Once the cup has been cleaned, refill with clean TSL oil and double check the seal to see if it is tight. Replacement parts are available through Accella Tire Fill Systems. See our TyrFil Flushless Pump Parts Catalog. -
Page 20: Tires With Tubes
Tires with Tubes Step 1. Position the tire in the normal filling position (photo 20a). Step 2. Remove the valve core from the stem and attach the tube deflator to the valve stem. Step 3. Apply a vacuum to the tube. When the tube is deflated, drill the venting hole at the 12 o’clock position in the tread groove. - Page 21 Tires with Tubes (12 ply and above or radial) These tires require some extra precautions, but are not difficult to flatproof if the following procedures are used. A pilot hole must be made in the tire to make the insertion of the needle easier.

Page 24: Waste Disposal
Waste Disposal Protection of the environment should be a primary concern of everyone. Proper procedures must be in compliance with local, state and federal waste disposal regulations. Should materials become contaminated, and thus not usable, they will have to be handled as hazardous waste and disposed of according to local, state and federal regulations. - Page 25 Our flatproofing process has been the industry standard for decades. Most problems that occur are easy to troubleshoot and correct. See the following chart for the most common situations.

- Page 29 Servicing A Freezing Air Motor When air is compressed and released quickly it creates a cooling effect. Your TyrFil Flushless Pump is no exception. Under certain conditions, your air motor could slow down, freeze, or stop com- pletely. When filling tires through an air/water valve, the pump operates quicker, taking in and releasing compressed air at a much greater rate.
