Tire Service Kit Expiration Date Location
• The Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6)
are a one tire application use and need to be
replaced after each use. Always replace
these components immediately at your origi-
nal equipment vehicle dealer.
• When the Tire Service Kit sealant is in a liquid
form, clean water, and a damp cloth will
remove the material from the vehicle or tire
and wheel components. Once the sealant
dries, it can easily be peeled off and properly
discarded.
• 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 Stor-
age 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.
WARNING!
• 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 circumstances:
• If the puncture in the tire tread is ap-
proximately 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.
