Notes on the safe use of the
Tyre Mobility Kit
• Park your car at the side of the
road so that you can work with the
TMK away from moving traffic.
Place your warning triangle in a
prominent place to make passing
vehicles aware of your location.
• To be sure your vehicle will not
move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your park-
ing brake.
• Only use the TMK for sealing/infla-
tion passenger car tyres. Do not
use on motorcycles, bicycles or
any other type of tyres.
• Do not remove any foreign objects-
such as nails or screws -that have
penetrated the tyre.
• Before using the TMK, read the
precautionary advice printed on
the sealant bottle!
• Provided the car is outdoors, leave
the engine running. Otherwise
operating the compressor may
eventually drain the car battery.

• Never leave the TMK unattended
whilst it is being used.
• Do not leave the compressor run-
ning for more than 10 min. at a time
or it may overheat.
• Do not use the TMK if the ambient
temperature is below -30°C (-

• When the tyre and wheel are dam-
aged, do not use Tyre Mobility Kit
for your safety.
