Aperia TECHNOLOGIES HALO Tire Inflator Rotary Pump
Product Information
The Halo Tire InflatorTM is a completely mechanical, rotary pump designed for dual or wide-base tires on tractors and trailers. It is an easy-to-install, bolt-on device that can be mounted in 5-10 minutes per wheel-end without the need for connection to an onboard air compressor. The Halo is not meant to replace regular pressure checks and tire maintenance practices. Aperia emphasizes the importance of taking care of both tires and Halos for safety.
Product Usage Instructions
Please follow the steps below for each Halo during a pre-trip inspection:
- Visually check for severe damage to the system, including cracked, bent, melted, corroded, or shattered components.
- Ensure all screws and washers are present.
- Confirm that the hose(s) are fully attached to both the Halo and the tire valve stem(s).
- If applicable to trailers, measure tire pressure using the T-stem valve on the hose.
- Check that the Halo is securely attached to the bracket on the hub by wiggling it. If the Halo moves, it needs to be serviced.
Important warning: Do not operate the vehicle if there are severely damaged system components, missing hardware, loose hoses, or flat tires. Doing so poses a safety risk.
To measure tire pressure or deflate/inflate the tire manually:
- Use the T-stem valve on the hose. Do not use the Aperia service port on the Halo to inflate a tire as it may cause severe leaks.
During roadside calls, remember to:
- Remove the Halo and hoses when a wheel is removed. The bracket can remain installed.
- If the technician is unfamiliar with the Halo, show them the Roadside Removal Instructions provided in the packet or on the Aperia Literature Webpage at www.aperiatech.com/literature.
