Tire Service Kit Usage Precautions

• Replace the Tire Service Kit Sealant Bottle
(4) and Sealant Hose (3) prior to the expi-
ration date (printed at the upper right hand
corner on the bottle label) to assure opti-
mum operation of the system. Refer to
"Sealing A Tire With Tire Service Kit" sec-
tion (F) "Sealant Bottle And Hose Replace-
ment".
• The Sealant Bottle (4) and Sealant Hose
(3) are a one tire application use and need
to be replaced after each use. Always re-
place these components immediately at
your original 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 seal-
ant 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 (5) and make sure the
Mode Select Knob (2) 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 circum-
stances:
