5-Gallon Pail
Hand Pump
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) Pull up and
remove the clear plastic tab from
the large opening on the top of the
pail.
2) Unscrew the
black cap on the pail lid. It has
recessed tabs on the sides of the
cap that can be raised to aid in
removal.
3) Pull and remove
the inner seal from the plastic
tube.
4) Remove the cap
from the small valve fitting on the
side of the pail. This fitting is
used to re-circulate Ride-On.
5) Attach the
quick-connect chuck at the end of
the pump hose onto the valve fitting
located on the side of the pail just
below the lid.
6) Push the body
of the pump into the opening all the
way down to the bottom of the pail.
DO NOT cut the sleeve.
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 pail.
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.
7) 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) 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. The lower the tyre
pressure, the easier it is to
install the product (4.14 Barr or
less). Quickly connect the hose to
the valve stem by pushing the quick
connect fitting onto the valve stem.
Pump the required dosage of Ride-On
into the tyre.
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 entire 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 pail 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 pail 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
black plastic cap be replaced (step
2).
55-Gallon Drum
Hand Pump
Always wear eye
protection when working with
pressurized tyres!

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. It is advised to
lower tyre pressure to 4.14 Barr 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.
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 entire 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

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.
ROTIS Tyre
Injection System
The ROTIS pump is
shipped in two boxes. One box
contains the hose, tools, dosage
table, and a 55-gallon drum bung
adapter. The second box contains the
ROTIS pump housing. Please make sure
you have all the parts before
commencing the setup of the pump.
Always wear eye
protection when working with
pressurized tyres!
WARNING: the ROTIS
pump has an internal preset
regulator that reduces the air
pressure to the appropriate pressure
for the safe operation of the pump.
Tampering with the regulator may
cause damage to the pump and will
void the warranty. The system inlet
pressure (pre-regulator) may be up
to 12.4 Barr.
Initial Pump Setup
1) Remove bung cap
with NPT fine-thread (does not have
valve fitting). Screw the bung
adapter into the bung opening.
Insert the pump shaft into the
center of the bung adapter and push
it all the way down into the
55-gallon drum. Tighten the setscrew
on the adapter to keep the pump in
place.
WARNING: Please
make sure to transfer the bung
adapter from an emptied drum to the
next drum. The pump will not sit in
the 55-gallon drum correctly without
the adapter. If the adapter is lost
or misplaced, please call Glomore
Motors for pricing on a replacement
adapter.
2) Locate the end
of the black 19 mm hose with a
Cam-Lock nipple. Pull the 2 Cam-Lock
ears on the pump discharge port all
the way forward and remove the 2
locking pins from the ears.
Insert the nipple
end of the hose into the Cam-Lock
attachment on the pump and push the
2 ears all the way back (it may take
some effort) against the pump to
lock the hose in place. Insert the
locking pins (if supplied) through
the holes on the Cam-Lock fitting to
lock the hose in place.
3) Look under the
pump’s housing and locate the 2
color coded bulkhead hose
connections. There are 2 color
markers (yellow and black) next to
the hose connections. Insert the
yellow hose into the bulkhead
fitting that has been marked with
the yellow dot, and the black hose
into the one that is marked with a
black dot. Push the hose all the way
in and test that it has locked into
place by tugging on the hose to make
sure that it does not slip out.
The small air
hoses can be detached from the pump
by first pushing in the orange
collar on the fitting all the way in
and then gently pulling the hoses
out. WARNING: You can damage the
fittings and the hoses if you pull
the dual air line hoses out of the
orange fittings without first
pushing the orange collars in.
4) This ROTIS pump
is supplied with an air hose to aid
and speed up the re-inflation of the
tyres after the installation of the
Ride-On sealants. Please install an
appropriate air chuck/tool of your
choice on the free end of the hose
(the opposite end from where the
hose connects to the pump). This
tool must have a valve in it to
prevent air loss.
5) Once you have
installed the tool onto the hose,
insert the nipple at the pump end
into the coupling on the pump.
6) Insert the
supplied strait tool into the
hydraulic coupling in the discharge
end of the hose. Open the ball valve
and insert the tip of the hose into
the second bung opening of the drum.
Select an
appropriate nipple or coupling that
matches your shop air system (not
provided). Screw the nipple/coupling
into the brass opening in the front
of the pump. Please use Teflon tape
to insure that the attachment is
airtight. Connect shop air system to
this coupling and check for any air
leaks.
Press the counter
reset button (large button on the
same level as the digits of the
counter) if you hear any air leaks
form inside the pump housing. This
should stop any further leaks inside
the housing. Make sure that the 4 mm
yellow/black dual hoses installed in
step 3 do not leak. If there is any
air loss, the hoses are not inserted
adequately into the fittings. Push
the hoses in to make sure they lock.
7) Select an
appropriate nipple or coupling that
matches your shop air system (not
provided). Screw the nipple/coupling
into the brass opening in the front
of the pump. Please use Teflon tape
to insure that the attachment is
airtight. Connect shop air system to
this coupling and check for any air
leaks.
Press the counter
reset button (large button on the
same level as the digits of the
counter) if you hear any air leaks
form inside the pump housing. This
should stop any further leaks inside
the housing. Make sure that the 4 mm
yellow/black dual hoses installed in
step 3 do not leak. If there is any
air loss, the hoses are not inserted
adequately into the fittings. Push
the hoses in to make sure they lock.
Priming the ROTIS
Pump Prior to Installation
8) Press and hold
down the reset button on the counter
and using the smaller digit buttons
(one button under each digit on the
counter) set the counter to 50.
9) While holding
on to the other end of the hose
(with its tip in the other bung
opening) press the remote reset
button (you must press and hold the
button for a minimum of 1 second for
it to reset). This will start and
prime the pump.
Allow the pump to
count down and automatically
shut-off when the counter reaches
zero. If the discharge hose has not
filled with product (sealant pumping
from the discharge), press the
Remote Counter Reset Button one more
time and allow one more cycle.
10) Once the pump
has been primed and the hose is full
of sealant, close the ball valve at
the end of the hose.
The ROTIS pump is
now properly installed and ready for
operation.
The speed at which
the ROTIS pump will inject Ride-On
TPS into the tyre depends on the
pressure of the tyre. The higher the
pressure, the slower the
installation will be. It is normal
for the pump to take approximately
30-40 seconds to inject 40-ounces of
sealant into a tyre that is at 100
psi.
11) Using the
supplied dosage table, locate the
tyre size that you want to install
sealant into. Please note that there
are 3 different counter settings for
Regular and Severe applications
depending on the starting pressure
of the tyre (0 Barr, 3.45 Barr, and
6.9 Barr).
0 Barr: For tyres
that have not been aired up.
3.45 Barr: For tyres that are
mounted and pressurized up to 3.45
Barr.
6.9 Barr: For tyres that have that
are pressurized above 6.9 Barr.
Example: 11-22.5
requires 40 oz. for Regular and 50
oz. for Severe. The counter should
be set at:
|

12) After finding
the correct dosage according to your
tyre size, pressure and application
(Regular or Severe), press and hold
down the Remote Counter Reset Button
on the counter and using the smaller
Digit Buttons (one button under each
digit on the counter) set the
counter to the appropriate number.
13) 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. Quickly attach the
tool to the valve stem to prevent
any air loss. Open the ball valve
and press the Remote Counter Reset
Button (refer to step 9, above).
This will start the pump. Once the
correct dosage has been injected,
the pump will automatically shut
off.
14) Close the Ball
Valve, and disconnect the tool from
the valve stem. Re-insert the valve
core taking care not to over-tighten
the valve core. Inflate the tyre to
the vehicle manufacturer's
recommended tyre inflation pressure
using the supplied air line (refer
to step 4). Press the Remote Counter
Reset Button to reset the counter.
Repeat step 13 for installation in
new tyre.
CAUTION: Be sure
to close the ball valve after each
installation, otherwise, since the
hose is under pressure, several
ounces of Ride-On may squirt out of
the hose.
MAINTENANCE: Under
normal use, the ROTIS pump system
requires minimal maintenance. Drain
the filter on a weekly basis (or
more frequently if necessary),
especially if the pump is being used
everyday. To drain the filter, press
the needle valve on the filter
regulator to allow any accumulated
moisture to drain out.
Always identify
the tyres that contain Ride-On to
prevent double treatment. You can
mark the tyres using a permanent
tyre marker, or use Ride-On's
o-rings. Alternatively, you can mark
the vehicle using Ride-On trailer or
tractor stickers.
Please note: It is
NOT necessary to immediately drive
the vehicle. Once the vehicle is
driven, Ride-On TPS is evenly
dispersed over the entire 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.
Bottles
Once you have
properly installed Ride-On tyre
Protection System (TPS) tyre sealant
in your vehicle, the uncertainty of
you having a flat tyre will diminish
considerably. Just as car waxes and
polishes help protect your car’s
paint and interior, Ride-On TPS
helps protect your tyres. With
Ride-On, your tyres literally fix
themselves! And since Ride-On stops
slow leaks the moment they start,
your tyres will stay properly
inflated. Your tyres will last
longer, your vehicle will handle
better, your fuel economy will
improve, and you will ride more
safely. Ride-On is available in 8
and 16 ounce bottles, 5-gallon
pails, and 55-gallon drums.
Ride-On tyre
Protection System tyre sealant
contains specially selected binders
to help it adhere to the inner
surface of the tyre. If a tyre
treated with Ride-On is stored for a
prolonged period of time, some of
the Ride-On TPS may eventually pool
in the bottom of the tyre. Once the
vehicle is driven for 5 to 8 Kms,
Ride-On will again re-coat the inner
tyre surface. Note: the tyre may
briefly vibrate until Ride-On has
had a chance to evenly coat the
tyre. When Ride-On has re-coated the
tyre, there should be no further
balancing problems.
Warnings and
Precautions
KEEP AWAY FROM
CHILDREN! Ride-On tyre Protection
System is not meant to be taken
internally. It contains ethylene
glycol. If swallowed, induce
vomiting and call a physician
immediately. If splashed into eyes,
flush eyes with water and consult a
physician. In case of a spill or
emergency, please call 082 924 9601.
Ride-On tyre
Protection System tyre Sealants are
non-hazardous, non-flammable, and
are environmentally friendly. Please
contact your Ride-On TPS distributor
or our corporate headquarters for a
copy of our
Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS)
 .
Ride-On TPS tyre sealants have been
fully tested by a
laboratory
specializing
in environmental regulations and
have been shown to be completely
safe to use and dispose in
quantities normally found fleet
operations. Even washing out with
water 175, 11R22.5 tyres containing
as much as 40 ounces of Ride-On TPS
into the inlet of most water
treatment facilities would not cause
a water quality incursion.
Regularly inspect
your tyres for damage. In case of a
cut, impact break, bruise, bulge,
snag, or sidewall damage, have the
tyre inspected by a professional
tyre care specialist. Check the tyre
pressure per tyre manufacturer’s
recommendations, at least once a
week, or prior to a long trip. tyre
pressures should be checked when the
tyres are cold (i.e. driven less
than a mile). If a tyre continues to
lose air even when it contains
Ride-On, remove the tyre from
service immediately and have the
tyre inspected by a professional
tyre care specialist. Continued air
loss could be an indication of
structural damage that could lead to
a sudden catastrophic failure.
Use caution when
installing Ride-On TPS, as it may
stain fabrics and clothes. To clean
a stain, DO NOT try to wipe it clean
while it’s still wet, wait for the
stain to dry and then scrape it off.
Dosage
Requirement of Ride-On TPS tyre
Sealant
Please refer to
the Dosage Tables for the
appropriate amount of Ride-On that
should be installed in your tyre.
INOVEX Industries has developed
dosage tables prescribing the
correct amount of Ride-On TPS tyre
sealant to be installed in each
tyre/wheel size configuration. When
properly installed, Ride-On will not
affect the tyre balance, even in
high speed passenger vehicle
applications.
Other tyre sealant
manufacturers prescribe arbitrary
dosage amounts of their sealants
(e.g. 4-oz. for 14" wheels, 5-oz.
for 15" wheels, etc.), and claim
that at those dosages, their tyre
sealants will be effective for any
wheel/rim size. Per their
instructions the same amount of
sealant would be installed in a
P185/60R15 tyre as in a P325/50R15
tyre!
With the Ride-On
tyre Protection System, nearly 2
times as much sealant would be
prescribed for the P325/50R15 tyre
as in the P185/60R15. Our scientific
approach which calculates the
correct amount of tyre sealant to
coat the entire inner tread area of
the tyre will ensure proper
protection of the tyres and
eliminate potential balancing
problems. If adequate sealant is not
installed, NO tyre sealant can
perform as designed, and the tyre
will experience out of balance
problems. If too much sealant is
installed, the tyre will also have
balance problems. Therefore, it is
critical that the correct amount of
Ride-On be installed for your tyre
size.
Removal of
Ride-On TPS tyre Sealant
There is no
chemical bonding of Ride-On TPS to
the tyre. It can be easily removed
from the tyre by washing it out with
water. This is particularly
important to our fleet and
commercial clients because, Ride-On
can be washed out of a tyre so that
the tyre can be retreaded.
Unlike many of the
rubber based tyre sealants widely
available on the market, Ride-On TPS
will not mask or hide any injuries
from the NDT (non destructive
testing) machines used in retread
plants. Ride-On TPS has been fully
tested by some of the largest
retreading companies in the US. Once
Ride-On TPS has been washed out of a
tyre, it does not leave any films or
residues on the tyre casings. Other
tyre sealants (containing black
rubber particles) have been reported
to mask injuries that can result in
on- the-road retread failures. Some
of these tyre sealants are so
difficult to remove that they
require solvents, or petroleum
distillates to remove.
Ride-On contains
ethylene glycol, commonly used as
antifreeze and in cooling and
heating systems. Good industrial
hygiene work practices should be
used when installing or removing
Ride-On (Please refer to the
Material Safety Data Sheet).
