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 (4) may be empty due to
previous use. Call for assistance.
NOTE:
If the Mode Select Knob (2) is on Air Mode and
the pump is operating, air will dispense from the
Air Pump Hose (5) only, not the Sealant Hose (3).
If the sealant (white fluid) does flow through the
Sealant Hose (3):
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 Sealant Hose (3), the Pressure
Gauge (8) can read as high as 70 psi (4.8 Bar).
The Pressure Gauge (8) will decrease quickly
from approximately 70 psi (4.8 Bar) to the
actual tire pressure when the Sealant Bottle
(4) is empty.
2. The pump will start to inject air into the tire
immediately after the Sealant Bottle (4) is
empty. Continue to operate the pump and
inflate the tire to the pressure indicated on the
tire pressure label on the driver-side latch
pillar (recommended pressure). Check the tire
pressure by looking at the Pressure Gauge (8).
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 Defla-
tion Button to reduce the tire pressure to the
recommended inflation pressure before continu-
ing.
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 (1) to turn off the Tire
Service Kit.
2. Remove the Speed Limit sticker from the top
of the Sealant Bottle (4) and place the sticker
on the instrument panel.
3. Immediately disconnect the Sealant Hose (3)
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.
Quickly proceed to (D) "Drive Vehicle."
CAUTION!
• The metal end fitting from Power Plug (8)
may get hot after use, so it should be
handled carefully.
• Failure to reinstall the cap on the fitting at
the end of the Sealant Hose (6) can result in
sealant contacting your skin, clothing, and the
vehicle' s interior. It can also result in sealant
contacting internal Tire Service Kit compo-
nents which may cause permanent damage
to the kit.
(D) Drive Vehicle:
Immediately after injecting sealant and inflating
the tire, drive the vehicle 5 miles (8 km) or ten
minutes to ensure distribution of the Tire Service
Kit Sealant within the tire. Do not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h).
