2. Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel
with the deflated tire) is in a position that
is near to the ground. This will allow the
Tire Service Kit Hoses (6) and (7) to reach
the valve stem and keep the Tire Service
Kit flat on the ground. This will provide
the best positioning of the kit when inject-
ing the sealant into the deflated tire and
running the air pump. Move the vehicle as
necessary to place the valve stem in this
position before proceeding.
3. Place the transmission in PARK (auto
transmission) or in Gear (manual trans-
mission) and place the ignition in the OFF
position.
4. Apply the parking brake.
(B) Setting Up To Use Tire Service Kit:
1. Push in the Mode Select Knob (5) and
turn to the Sealant Mode position.
2. Uncoil the Sealant Hose (6) and then
remove the cap from the fitting at the end
of the hose.
3. Place the Tire Service Kit flat on the
ground next to the deflated tire.
4. Remove the cap from the valve stem and
then screw the fitting at the end of the
Sealant Hose (6) onto the valve stem.
5. Uncoil the Power Plug (8) and insert the
plug into the vehicle’s 12 Volt power
outlet.
NOTE:
Do not remove foreign objects (e.g., screws or
nails) from the tire.
(C) Injecting Tire Service Kit Sealant Into
The Deflated Tire:
Always start the engine before turning ON
the Tire Service Kit.
NOTE:
Manual transmission vehicles must have
the parking brake engaged and the gear se-
lector in NEUTRAL.
After pushing the Power Button (4), the
sealant (white fluid) will flow from the Seal-
ant Bottle (1) through the Sealant Hose (6)
and into the tire.
NOTE:
Sealant may leak out through the puncture in
the tire.
If the sealant (white fluid) does not flow within 0
10 seconds through the Sealant Hose (6):
1. Push the Power Button (4) to turn Off the
Tire Service Kit. Disconnect the Sealant
Hose (6) from the valve stem. Make sure
the valve stem is free of debris. Reconnect
the Sealant Hose (6) to the valve stem.
Check that the Mode Select Knob (5) is in
the Sealant Mode position and not Air
Mode. Push the Power Button (4) to turn
On the Tire Service Kit.
2. Connect the Power Plug (8) to a different
12 Volt power outlet in your vehicle or
another vehicle, if available. Make sure
the engine is running before turning ON
the Tire Service Kit.
3. The Sealant Bottle (1) may be empty due
to previous use. Call for assistance.
NOTE:
If the Mode Select Knob (5) is on Air Mode
and the pump is operating, air will dispense
from the Air Pump Hose (7) only, not the
Sealant Hose (6).
