Tire Ser vice Kit Usage Precautions
• Replace the Tire Service Kit Sealant Cartridge
and Sealant Hose prior to the expiration date
(printed on the left hand side of the cartridge
label) to assure optimum operation of the sys-
tem.
• The Sealant Cartridge and Sealant Hose are a
one tire application use and need to be re-
placed after each use. Always replace these
components immediately at an authorized
dealer.
• When the Tire Service Kit sealant is in a liquid
form, clean water, and a damp cloth will remove
the material from the vehicle or tire and wheel
components. Once the sealant dries, it can
easily be peeled off and properly discarded.
• For optimum performance, make sure the valve
stem on the wheel is free of debris before
connecting the Tire Service Kit.
• Do not lift or carry the Tire Service Kit by the
hoses.
