Getting Started
Carefully unpack and check your Tint Tank™ for any missing or damaged components. If you see any issues, please contact us for quick and friendly assistance.
USE WITH CAUTION!
ANY PRESSURIZED TOOL CAN BE DANGEROUS IF USED INCORRECTLY!
Our products are built with safety in mind. Tint Tanks™ feature an automatic pressure relief valve in the lid, which will begin to release pressure when the safe operating limit is reached. This prevents over-pressurization, for simple, safe operation when used correctly.
All Tint Tanks™, hoses, fittings, and accessories are rated for operating pressures up to 100psi.
For safe operation, it is important to not exceed the recommended operating pressure of 60-90psi.
Remember to wear eye protection and other necessary personal protective equipment when using your Tint Tank™ system.
Use only suitable chemical solutions with your Tint Tank™. Caustic or acidic cleaning solutions may damage your tank or components.
Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure great performance and long life from your Tint Tank™.
Quick Start Guide:
Mix your mounting solution according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Lift the latching lever to remove the lid from your tank.
Fill your Tint Tank™ about ¾ full with solution (it’s important to leave some space for air in order to pressurize the tank).
Carefully reseat the lid, making sure that it’s sitting flat, flush, and centered in the tank opening to ensure an airtight seal.
Attach the hose to the “OUT” post of the tank by lifting the ring around the base of the quick connector, and gently pushing / twisting it downward onto the post. The connector will lock securely into place.
Use a standard air compressor and tire filler with pressure gauge to pressurize the tank through the tire valve. Ideal operating pressure is from 60-90psi.
Never pressurize your Tint Tank™ over 100psi! The pressure release valve will begin to let off pressure before you reach 100psi, but it’s best to never allow pressure to exceed the recommended pressure range of 60-90psi
When you’re done using your Tint Tank™, it’s best to remove any leftover solution and bleed out any remaining pressure in the tank and hose. Purge any leftover solution through the hose into a suitable container.
Once your tank is empty of liquid, pull the ring on the pressure release valve in the tank lid until any remaining air pressure has escaped.
Then discharge the hose once more to release any remaining pressure. You can now safely disconnect the hose and store your Tint Tank™.
NOTE: Never disconnect the hose from the tank when your system is under pressure! It can cause the o-rings in the tank post to blow out of place, leading to leaks. So just make sure to release the pressure from your tank and hose before disconnecting.
Cleaning
Soap film and debris will build up in any system, so regular cleaning and maintenance are important to keep your Tint Tank™ working like new!
A quick rinse with clean, warm water after every use is the best way to keep your Tint Tank™ in good working condition. Any solution left in the tank over extended periods of time can allow gunk to build up and cause clogs and other issues.
After each use, dump out any leftover solution and rinse out any debris remaining in the tank.
For periodic deep cleaning, fill your Tint Tank™ with a cleaning solution of hot water and mild, concentrated degreaser. Follow your cleaning product instructions for the proper ratio.
Attach the hose to the tank and pressurize as normal. Purge the tank of cleaning solution through the hose, followed by a second tank of hot water only.
Clean any nozzles and filter screens by soaking them in a mild degreaser solution. Rinse clean and reinstall.
Maintenance
Check your tank, hoses, and other fittings periodically for damage or wear that may make them unsafe to use under pressure. We offer replacement parts for almost every component, to keep your Tint Tank™ running like new!
Losing Pressure?
We've worked hard to design Tint Tanks to be as reliable and airtight as possible. But with any pressurized tool, leaks are always a possibility. Here's what to do if you think you might have one.
Fill a spray bottle with a mix of water and 1 teaspoon dish soap and shake well. Pressurize your tank to about 60psi, with the hose disconnected.
Spray the posts and lid area and watch for bubbles to form, indicating a leak in that area. Be sure to spray inside the schrader valve (tire air stem) to ensure it is screwed in completely and sealing. If you see bubbles, tighten the stem inside with a tire valve tool.
Other leaks around the lid or posts are easy to fix by replacing the o-rings with a new one from the o-ring kit that came with your Tint Tank.
If you have checked your tank and verified there are no leaks, you can attach the hose and repeat this process on the hose components. Be sure to check between the tank post and hose connector, and replace the tank post o-ring if you find a leak.
