You take the tire off the rim. Them you have bring it into a room pergged with nitrogen and put it on....... Or maybe you just make sure the vavle stem is at the highest point....or break the bead and add the nitro to set it...

We have used nitrogen on our trailer and vehicle fleet for about 6-7 years now. Not a huge fleet, about 400 tires on the road. Tire life has quadrupled on the trailers. On our vehicles we are also getting more miles on them, I assume due to consistent inflation pressures. I also nitro fill my motorcycles tires, they stay properly inflated WAY longer than with just air....

Our nitro-fill machine has a purge cycle where it will deflate and inflate the tires a couple times to purge them. Hook up the hoses, set the pressure and walk away..

Thanks Phragle!

I picked up this used Ingersoll Rand nitrogen inflation unit out here, all I need is the regulator and a nitrogen cylinder and I'm good to go.
