When you're going off-road, it pays to have the proper tools in your gear bag. Rayteen's Tire Deflator Kit is essential for every serious off-road driver or 4x4 user. It enables you to easily lower tyre pressure for improved traction in sand, mud, or on rocky ground. But as with any high-performance equipment, regular maintenance is the secret to keeping your Rayteen kit going trip after trip.
This article will guide you through simple but necessary maintenance steps to keep your Tire Deflator Kit in perfect condition, whether you are an old-timer off-road adventurer or a first-time purchase.
- Clean After Each Use – Particularly After Dusty or Sandy Terrifies
A day spent driving on dusty desert highways or muddy woodland trails, your Tire Deflator Kit can expect to be covered in dirt, sand, and grime. These tiny particles may impact the accuracy and lifespan of the tool.
- Clean wipe using a soft, dry cloth or soft brush to wipe off dirt from the surface.
- To remove tougher grime, wipe with a moist cloth – never soak the pieces in water.
- Sand in the moving parts can affect the air-bleed switch or pressure gauge readings.
Periodic cleaning maintains the internal mechanism intact.
- Check the Air-Bleed Switch Periodically
The air-bleed switch is an important part of your Tire Deflator Kit. It regulates how effectively air exits your tyres. If it becomes plugged or worn, deflation is slow and inaccurate.
- Ensure that the switch moves easily and won't stick.
- Hear for odd hissing noises when it's closed – this could be a sign of a leak.
- Check the Pressure Gauge for Accuracy
Misleading pressure data will cause under- or over-inflation of tyres, and this will compromise off-road ability and safety. Very occasionally, the factory-fitted pressure gauge can be used by comparing it with a calibrated, accurate pressure gauge.
- When you are irregular, you may need to be re-adjusted or changed.
- Place your gauge in conditions that are not too hot or too cold to keep it secure.
- Never drop or bang the indicator– it's delicate equipment.
- Keep the Kit in Its Protective Plastic Carry Case
The Rayteen Tire Deflator Kit includes a heavy plastic carry case that protects your tools from hits, water, and dust during those off-road excursions. Don't simply carelessly throw it into the bed of your truck.
- Always put the components into their respective places within the case.
- Do not put the case close to heat, such as the engine or exhaust region.
This also keeps you organized and ensures nothing gets lost or broken along the way.
- Make It a Component of Your Truck Recovery Equipment Checklist
Your Rayteen kit is an important component of your Truck Recovery Gear, particularly when you are off into remote country. Get into the routine of incorporating a brief check of your deflator kit into your pre-trip preparation.
- Is it clean?
- Are all components working?
- Is it organized and accessible?
