NOTE
The tire sealant can be used at outside
temperatures down to -30°C.
In extremely cold temperatures (0°C
(32°F) or below), the tire sealant
hardens easily and injection of the
sealant will be difficult. Warm the
sealant inside the vehicle before doing
the injection work.
6. Remove the cap from the bottle. Screw
on the injection hose with the bottle's
inner cap left on to break the inner cap.
