5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■ Vehicles with a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the wheel
beyond repair.
■ When performing an emergency repair
Perform the emergency repair without removing the nail or screw that has punc-
tured the tread of the tire. If the object that has punctured the tire is removed, the
repair using the sealant in the emergency tire puncture repair kit may fail.
■ When fixing the flat tire
● Do not put the valve core on dirty ground or in the sand.
Store it in a clean place.
● Do not remove the inside cap of the sealant bottle.
● Turn the valve core tool with your hand when screwing it in. If you use another tool
in conjunction with the valve core tool, damage may occur.
● Do not operate the compressor continuously for more than 10 minutes. The
motor may overheat and be damaged. Let the compressor cool before using it
again.
■ Compressor precautions
● The compressor power source should be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle use.
Do not connect the compressor to 24 V DC or any other power source.
● The compressor is an oil-less type. Do not lubricate with oil.
● If the compressor does not operate properly or becomes hot, it may be over-
heated. Turn off the switch and leave the compressor to cool down for at least 30
minutes.
● The compressor is not waterproof. Make sure that the compressor is not exposed
to water, such as when it is being used in the rain.
● Do not put the compressor directly onto dusty ground such as sand at the side of
the road. If the compressor vacuums up dust etc., a malfunction may occur.
● Do not disassemble or modify the compressor. Do not subject parts such as the
air pressure indicator to impacts. This may cause a malfunction.
