(B) SETTING UP TO USE TIRE SERVICE KIT:
1. Push in the Mode Select Knob (6) and turn to the
Sealant Mode position.
2. Uncoil the Sealant Hose (4) and then remove the
cap from the fitting at the end of the hose.
3. Place the Tire Service Kit flat on the ground next to
the deflated tire.
4. Remove the cap from the valve stem and then screw
the fitting at the end of the Sealant Hose (4) onto
the valve stem.
5. Uncoil the Power Plug (7) and insert the plug into
the vehicle’s 12 Volt power outlet.
NOTE:
Do not remove foreign objects (e.g., screws or nails)
from the tire.
(C) INJECTING TIRE SERVICE KIT SEALANT
INTO THE DEFLATED TIRE:
•
Always start the engine before turning ON the Tire
Service Kit.
NOTE:
Manual transmission vehicles must have the park-
ing brake engaged and the gear selector in
NEUTRAL.
•
After pushing the Power Button (3), the sealant
(white fluid) will flow from the Sealant Bottle (1)
through the Sealant Hose (4) and into the tire.
NOTE:
Sealant may leak out through the puncture in the tire.
If the sealant (white fluid) does not flow within 0 –
10 seconds through the Sealant Hose :
1. Push the Power Button (3) to turn Off the Tire Ser-
vice Kit. Disconnect the Sealant Hose (4) from the
valve stem. Make sure the valve stem is free of
debris. Reconnect the Sealant Hose (4) to the valve
stem. Check that the Mode Select Knob (6) is in the
Sealant Mode position and not Air Mode. Push the
Power Button (3) to turn On the Tire Service Kit.
2. Connect the Power Plug (7) to a different 12 Volt
power outlet in your vehicle or another vehicle, if
available. Make sure the engine is running before
turning ON the Tire Service Kit.
3. The Sealant Bottle (1) may be empty due to previous
use. Call for assistance.
NOTE:
If the Mode Select Knob (6) is on Air Mode and the
pump is operating, air will dispense from the Air Pump
Hose (8) only, not the Sealant Hose (4).
If the sealant (white fluid) does flow through the Seal-
ant Hose :
1. Continue to operate the pump until sealant is no
longer flowing through the hose (typically takes 30 -
70 seconds). As the sealant flows through the Seal-
ant Hose (4), the Pressure Gauge (5) can read as
high as 70 psi (4.8 Bar). The Pressure Gauge (5) will
decrease quickly from approximately 70 psi
(4.8 Bar) to the actual tire pressure when the Seal-
ant Bottle (1) is empty.
2. The pump will start to inject air into the tire immedi-
ately after the Sealant Bottle (1) is empty. Continue
to operate the pump and inflate the tire to the pres-
sure indicated on the tire pressure label on the
driver-side latch pillar (recommended pressure).
Check the tire pressure by looking at the Pressure
Gauge (5).
If the tire does not inflate to at least 26 psi (1.8 Bar)
pressure within 15 minutes:
•
The tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt to
drive the vehicle further. Call for assistance.
NOTE:
If the tire becomes overinflated, push the Deflation But-
ton (2) to reduce the tire pressure to the recommended
inflation pressure before continuing.
If the tire inflates to the recommended pressure or is
at least 26 psi (1.8 Bar) pressure within 15 minutes:
1. Push the Power Button (3) to turn off the Tire Ser-
vice Kit.
2. Remove the Speed Limit sticker from the top of the
Sealant Bottle (1) and place the sticker on the
instrument panel.
3. Immediately disconnect the Sealant Hose (4) from
the valve stem, reinstall the cap on the fitting at the
end of the hose, and place the Tire Service Kit in the
vehicle storage location.
CAUTION!
•
The metal end fitting from Power Plug (7) may get
hot after use, so it should be handled carefully.
