USING THE TIRE SEALANT
AND INFLATOR KIT
Tips for use of the kit
To ensure safe operation of the kit:
Before operating the kit, make sure
your vehicle is safely off the road and
away from moving traffic.
Do not remove any foreign objects,
such as nails or screws, from the tire.
Do not allow the compressor to
operate continuously for more than 15
minutes. This will help prevent the
compressor from overheating.
Only use the kit when the ambient
temperature is between -22°F (-30°C)
and 158°F (70°C).
Only use the sealing compound before
the use-by date. The use-by date is on
a label on the sealant canister and can
be seen through the rectangular
viewing window on the bottom of the
compressor. Check the use-by date
regularly and replace the canister when
the sealant expires.
Note: Sealant compound contains latex.
Use appropriate precautions to avoid any
allergic reactions.
When inflation only is required
for a tire or other objects, the
selector must be in the Air
E175978
position.
What to do when a tire is punctured
A tire puncture within the tire's tread area
can be repaired in two stages with the kit.

Tire Sealant and Inflator Kit
In the first stage, the tire will be
reinflated with a sealing compound
and air. After the tire has been inflated,
you will need to drive the vehicle a
short distance approximately 4 mi
(6 km) to distribute the sealant in the
tire.
In the second stage, you will need to
check the tire pressure and adjust, if
necessary, to the vehicle's specified
tire inflation pressure.
First Stage: Reinflating the Tire
with sealing compound and air
WARNING: Do not stand directly
over the kit while inflating the tire. If you
notice any unusual bulges or
deformations in the tire's sidewall during
inflation, stop and call roadside
assistance.
WARNING: If the tire does not
inflate to the recommended tire pressure
within 15 minutes, stop and call roadside
assistance.
Park the vehicle in a safe, level and secure
area, away from moving traffic.
Turn the hazard lights on. Apply the parking
brake and power off the vehicle. Inspect
the flat tire for visible damage.
If a puncture is located in the tire sidewall,
stop and call roadside assistance.
1.
Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve.
2. Unwrap the dual purpose hose (black
tube) from the back of the compressor
housing.
3. Fasten the hose to the tire valve by
turning the connector clockwise.
Tighten the connection securely.
