mum operation of the system. Refer to "Seal-
ing a Tire with TIREFIT" section (F) "Sealant

• When the TIREFIT 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 TIREFIT kit.
• You can use the TIREFIT air pump to inflate
bicycle tires. The kit also comes with two
needles located in the Accessory Storage
Compartment (located on the bottom of the
air pump) for inflating sport balls, rafts, or like
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 TIREFIT Sealant is only in-
tended to seal punctures less than
(6mm) diameter in the tread of your vehicle.
• Do not lift or carry TIREFIT kit by hoses.
WARNING!
• Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side of
the vehicle close to traffic. Pull far enough
off the road to avoid the danger of being hit
when using the TIREFIT kit.
• Do not use TIREFIT or drive the vehicle
under the following circumstances:
− If the cut or puncture in the tire tread is
approximately 0.24 in. (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.
