Cleaning
1. Clean the area around the puncture thoroughly with a proper liner cleaner, clean cloth and a scraper. This step serves to remove dirt
and mold lubricants to insure proper adhesion and non-contamination of the buffing tool.
2. Refer to information on the product or manufacturer's Material Safety Data Sheet and follow guidelines for handling and disposal.
Clean the Injury Channel
1. Use a proper hand reamer, carbide cutter or drill bit to ream the puncture channel from the inside of the tire in order to clean the
injury.
2. Remove steel wires protruding above the liner surface to prevent damage to the repair unit.
3. Consult your repair material supplier for recommended reaming tool(s).
Fill the Injury
1. It is necessary to fill the injury channel to provide back up for the repair unit and to prevent moisture from entering the tire fabric
and steel wires.
2. For combination repair/plug units skip this step. Cement the injured channel and fill the injury from the inside of the tire with the
repair plug per repair material manufacturer's recommendations. Without stretching the plug, cut the plug off just above the inside
tire surface.
3. Consult your repair material supplier for proper repair material selection.
