WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
• For optimum performance, make sure the valve stem on the wheel is free of
debris before connecting the Tire Service Kit.
• You can use the Tire Service Kit air pump to inflate bicycle tires. The kit also
comes with two needles, located in the Accessory Storage Compartment (on the
bottom of the air pump) for inflating sport balls, rafts, or similar inflatable items.
However, use only the Air Pump Hose (7) and make sure the Mode Select Knob
(5) is in the Air Mode when inflating such items to avoid injecting sealant into
them. The Tire Service Kit Sealant is only intended to seal punctures less than
1/4 inch (6 mm) diameter in the tread of your tire.
• Do not lift or carry the Tire Service Kit by the hoses.
• Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side of the vehicle closest to traffic. Pull
far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when using the Tire
Service Kit.
• Do not use Tire Service Kit or drive the vehicle under the following circum-
stances:
• If the puncture in the tire tread is approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) or larger.
• If the tire has any sidewall damage.
• If the tire has any damage from driving with extremely low tire pressure.
• If the tire has any damage from driving on a flat tire.
• If the wheel has any damage.
• If you are unsure of the condition of the tire or the wheel.
• Keep Tire Service Kit away from open flames or heat sources.
• A loose Tire Service Kit thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could en-
danger the occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the Tire Service Kit in the
place provided. Failure to follow these warnings can result in injuries that are
serious or fatal to you, your passengers, and others around you.
• Take care not to allow the contents of Tire Service Kit to come in contact
with hair, eyes, or clothing. Tire Service Kit sealant is harmful if inhaled, swal-
lowed, or absorbed through the skin. It causes skin, eye, and respiratory
irritation. Flush immediately with plenty of water if there is any contact with
eyes or skin. Change clothing as soon as possible, if there is any contact
with clothing.
• Tire Service Kit Sealant solution contains latex. In case of an allergic reaction
or rash, consult a physician immediately. Keep Tire Service Kit out of reach
of children. If swallowed, rinse mouth immediately with plenty of water and
drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting! Consult a physician immedi-
ately.
