XII. Trouble shooting
Trouble Possible reason
The mains switch does
The machine has not been switched on
not illuminate
No mains power supply
Defective fuse
Defective timer
The time set does not
elapse on the timer face
No mains power supply
The heating element in
the granules does not
Timer not set
heat up
Defective timer
Defective heating element or control box
The inner heating mat The mains switch does not illuminate
does not heat up
Timer not set
Defective timer
Defective inner heating mat or control box
Evidence of insufficient The layer of granules between the heating
curing pressure on the element and the tyre is too thin
tyre outside/sidewall
The vibrator has not worked long enough
to provide sufficient density of the granules
The vibrator has worked too long,
thus causing too large a quantity of gran­
ules to flow away from the repair area
Wrong pressure granules
Air entrapment in the skive filling
No counter pressure plate
Insufficient pressure
Wrong counter­pressure plate selected
Evidence of insufficient
After the compacting of the granules,
curing pressure on the
the pressure in the Airpower­Bag has
tyre inside
not been increased
The inner heating mat selected is too small
The Airpower­Bag selected is too small
The Airpower­Bag does not exert enough
pressure
Insufficient counter­pressure put
on the tyre outside
Repair area not
Curing time too short
vulcanized enough
The required temperature has
not been reached within the
previously set curing time
The repair material/skive filling
used vulcanizes too slowly
Possible solution
Switch the machine on by means
of the mains switch.
Restore the electric power supply.
Replace the fuse.
Replace the part by original TIP TOP spare part
See "possible solution ­ mains switch"
Set the timer to the required curing time.
Replace the part by original TIP TOP spare part.
Remove the parts and replace them by the
respective original TIP TOP spare parts.
Send the old parts to TIP TOP for inspection.
See "possible solution – mains switch"
Set the timer to the required curing time
Replace the part by the original TIP TOP spare part.
Replace the inner heating mat by the
original TIP TOP spare part.
Remove the control box together with the pressure
granule heating system and replace them by the
original TIP Top spare parts. Send the old parts to
TIP TOP for inspection.
Make sure that the layer of granules on the heating
element is thick enough. See item 7.3 page 5.
Put the vibrator into operation and let it
operate for approx. 45 –60 seconds according
to this manual item 7.0, page 9
Use only TIP TOP granules
Fill the skive carefully and stitch on thoroughly
The counter pressure plate is essential to
provide a contour that snugly fits the tyre
Make sure of sufficient pressure
(Tubular socket wrench, pneumatic wrench)
Select the largest possible counter­pressure
plate and position it near the bead.
After compacting the granules, increase the
pressure in the Airpower­Bag up to 3 bar / 43 psi
or 2.5 bar / 36 psi.
The inner heating mat has to cover the
repair patch all around. Use the right size!
The Airpower­Bag has to cover the repair
patch all around. Use the right size!
Check the operating pressure (3 bar / 43 psi
or 2.5 bar /36 psi) in the Airpower­Bag.
Check whether the repair area is correctly
positioned in the pressure granules and whether
there are enough granules under the repair area.
Observe or determine the curing times
according to this manual.
The layer of pressure granules between the
heating element and the tyre is too thick, or the
heating element is too far away from the tyre
At ambient temperatures below +5 °C/ 59 °F,
extend the curing time accordingly
Use only original TIP TOP repair material
and TIP TOP MTR Rubber
