5. Take out the tyre repair kit.
6. Take the valve cap (C) off the tyre valve
(D), then press the valve remover (E) onto
the valve as illustrated. Allow all of the
air in the tyre to escape.
7. Remove the valve insert (F) by turning it
anticlockwise using the valve remover
(E). Put the removed valve insert in a
clean place so it does not get dirty.
8. Shake the tyre sealant bottle well.
9. Take the cap (G) off the tyre sealant bottle
(H) (Type 1 only). Do not remove the seal
(I). Screw the filler hose (J) onto the bot-
tle (H). As you screw the filler hose onto
the bottle, the seal will break, allowing the
sealant to be used.
10. Press the hose onto the valve (D). Holding
the sealant bottle upside-down, squeeze it
again and again to inject all of the sealant
into the tyre.
If there is any air left in the tyre when you
remove the valve insert, the valve insert may
fly out and injure you. Make sure the tyre
contains no air before removing the valve
insert.
In cold conditions (when the ambient tem-
perature is 0 °C or lower), thickening of the
tyre sealant can make the tyre sealant hard to
squeeze out of the bottle. Warm the bottle
inside the vehicle.
If you shake the bottle after screwing on the
hose, sealant may spray out of the hose.
