WARNING

Precautions for use of the sealant

■
Ingesting the sealant is hazardous to your health. If you ingest sealant,
●
consume as much water as possible, and then immediately consult a
doctor.
If sealant gets in eyes or adheres to skin, immediately wash it off with
●
water. If discomfort persists, consult a doctor.

When fixing the flat tire

■
Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat area.
●
Do not touch the wheels or the area around the brakes immediately
●
after the vehicle has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven, the wheels and the area around the
brakes may be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or
other body parts may result in burns.
Connect the valve and hose securely with the tire installed on the vehi-
●
cle.
If the hose is not properly connected to the valve, air leakage may
●
occur or sealant may be sprayed out.
Follow the operation procedure to repair the tire. If the procedures are
●
not followed, the sealant may spray out.
If the hose comes off the valve while inflating the tire, there is a risk
●
that the hose will move abruptly due to air pressure.
After inflation of the tire has completed, the sealant may splatter when
●
the hose is disconnected or some air is let out of the tire.
Keep back from the tire while it is being repaired, as there is a chance
●
of it bursting while the repair operation is being performed. If you
notice any cracks or deformation of the tire, turn off the compressor
switch and stop the repair operation immediately.
The repair kit may overheat if operated for a long period of time. Do not
●
operate the repair kit continuously for more than 40 minutes.
Parts of the repair kit become hot during operation. Be careful handling
●
the repair kit during and after operation. Do not touch the metal part
connecting the bottle and the compressor. It will be extremely hot.
Do not attach the vehicle speed warning sticker to an area other than
●
the one indicated. If the sticker is attached to an area where an SRS
airbag is located, such as the pad of the steering wheel, it may prevent
the SRS airbag from operating properly.
