Always wear eye protection when working with pressurized tyres!
The quickest and easiest time to install Ride-On is during a Tyre mount-up. You
can install Ride-On either into the Tyre casing or through the valve stem
(remove valve core first) prior to airing up the Tyre. The additional time
required to treat a Tyre under this scenario is less than 2 minutes, as the time
required for normal mounting and airing of tyres is unaffected.
Always identify the tyres that contain Ride-On to prevent double treatment. You
can mark the tyres using a permanent Tyre marker, spray paint the valve stems,
or use Ride-On's o-rings. Alternatively, you can mark the vehicle using Ride-On
trailer or tractor stickers available at a nominal cost.

Initial Pump Setup |
|
1. Remove bung cap with NPT thread (does not have valve fitting).
|
 |
|
2. Remove the cap from the small valve fitting on the other bung cap. This fitting is used
to re-circulate Ride-On.
|
 |
|
3. Attach the quick-connect chuck at the end of the pump hose onto the valve fitting
located on the bung cap. |
 |
|
4. Push the body of the pump into the bung opening and tighten the pump bung adapter.
|
 |
|
5. Pull the pump handle all the way up as high as it will go and then push it back down.
This will ‘bleed' the air out of the hose as the product is circulated back into the drum.
Always store the pump with the hose connected to the small fitting, and always re-bleed
the hose if the product has not been used for a while.

 |
|
6. Rotate the Tyre into which Ride-On is to be installed so that the Tyre stem is between the
3 and 9 o'clock position (bottom half of the Tyre). Use a valve core remover tool to unscrew
and remove the valve core from the Tyre valve stem. Lower Tyre pressure to 60 psi or less.
|
 |
|
7. Quickly connect the hose to the valve stem by pushing the quick-connect fitting onto the stem.
One complete pump stroke with the locking collar locked right below the handle will install 10
ounces of Ride-On. To install less than 10 ounces per stroke, line up the top of the locking
collar with the hash marks on the pump shaft and lock in place using thumbscrew. You should be
able to read the corresponding marked numbers above the collar. The pump shaft is marked in one-
ounce increments.

 |
8. Remove the quick connect chuck and re-install the valve core into the valve stem. Do not over
tighten the valve core. Inflate the Tyre to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended Tyre inflation
pressure.
Please note: It is NOT necessary to immediately drive the vehicle. Once the vehicle is driven,
Ride-On TPS is evenly dispersed over the enTyre tread area of the inner surface of the Tyre.
Do not be concerned with any initial vibrations. Until Ride-On TPS has completely coated the
inside of your tyres, you may experience a slight vibration. To avoid wheel balance problems,
it is critical that the correct amount of Ride-On TPS is installed for your Tyre size.
Ride-On TPS is a stable compound that can be stored in its original closed container for up to
3 years. Please store Ride-On indoors or out of direct sunlight. Once a drum has been opened,
it is very important to keep the Ride-On in an airtight environment. This can be accomplished
by connecting the quick connect on the pump hose to the drum return spout. If the product is
to be stored for prolonged periods (more than four weeks), it is recommended that the pump be
rinsed with water and the NPT bung cap retightened on the drum.
