removing the tire from the wheel.
It is recommended to repair a tire with a combination vulcanized plug and internal patch.
Tire repairs should only be performed by personnel trained in tire repair.
The tire repair procedure will be unique to the type of repair equipment or repair components used.

Pattern for tightening the wheel nuts
Do not attempt to repair a tire with a damaged side wall or a slice in
the tread. This type of repair could fail prematurely resulting in severe
bodily injury and/or property damage.
Re-torque all wheel nuts to their final value after 1-week (20-hours)
of operation. Failure to re-torque the wheel nuts may result in the
wheel coming off of the vehicle causing severe bodily injury and/or
property damage.
