Tire Sealant - Chevrolet 2005 SSR Pickup Owner's Manual

Tire Sealant

The kit contains a liquid sealant that when injected into
a flat tire, may temporarily repair nail holes or cuts
in the tread area of the tire. The tire sealant cannot
repair tire damage caused while driving on a flat tire or
a tire that has had a "blow out" or a tire that has
punctures in the sidewall areas. The tire sealant solution
is a one-time use application for one tire only. Check
the tire sealant expiration date; the sealant may not be
as effective beyond the expiration date. The tire
sealant can be peeled off easily after drying.
Using Tire Sealant
To apply the tire sealant, do the following:
1. Turn the valve cap on the tire valve
counterclockwise to remove it.
2. Remove the valve core using the valve core tool
provided in the tire inflator kit. An extra valve
core is also provided in the kit.
3. Shake the bottle to make sure the sealant is
well mixed.
4. Attach the tire sealant filling hose to the bottle
of tire sealant to pierce the seal on the bottle.
5. Remove the sealing plug from the end of the
filling hose and insert the end of the hose over
the tire valve.
6. Hold the bottle upside down over the tire valve
and squeeze the sealant into the tire until the
bottle is empty.
7. Remove the sealant filling hose from the tire valve
and reinstall the sealing plug.
8. Insert the valve core back into the tire valve.
Turn the valve core tool clockwise to secure
the valve core.
Once the tire sealant is applied, you can use the
compressor to inflate the tire. See Air Compressor on
page 5-70 for instructions.
