2. Remove the sealant/air hose from the packaging.
3. Attach the sealant/air hose onto the tire valve stem. Screw it until it is

starts injecting sealant and air into the tire. When the sealant injection is
complete continue to add air.
8. After the air pressure reaches front: 35 psi (240 kPa)/rear: 33 psi (230
kPa), turn off the kit. To check the pressure, occasionally turn off the
compressor and read the gauge.
9. Unplug the power plug from the accessory power socket.
10. Unscrew the sealant/air hose from the tire valve stem. Reinstall the
valve cap.
11. Press the pressure relief button until the gauge returns to 0 psi (0 kPa).

wheel surface must be clean to ensure the label adheres properly.
HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
152 |
Do not operate the temporary tire repair kit compressor for more than 15
minutes. The compressor can overheat and become permanently damaged.
Tire sealant contains substances that are harmful and can be fatal if
swallowed.
If accidentally swallowed, do not induce vomiting.
Drink plenty of water and get medical attention immediately.
For skin or eye contact, flush with cool water and get medical attention if
necessary.
Running the engine with the vehicle in an enclosed or even partly enclosed
area can cause a rapid build-up of toxic carbon monoxide.
Breathing this colorless, odorless gas can cause unconsciousness and
even death.
Only run the engine to power the air compressor with the vehicle outdoors.
