Using the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit to Temporarily
Seal and Inflate a
Punctured Tire

Follow the directions closely for
correct sealant usage.

When using the tire sealant and
compressor kit during cold
temperatures, warm the kit in a
heated environment for five minutes.
This will help to inflate the tire
faster.

If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire
and wheel damage by driving slowly
to a level place. Turn on the hazard
warning flashers. See

Hazard

Warning Flashers on page 6-4

.

See

If a Tire Goes Flat on

page 10-63

for other important

safety warnings.

Do not remove any objects that
have penetrated the tire.

1. Remove the tire sealant and

compressor kit from its storage
location. See

Storing the Tire

Sealant and Compressor Kit on
page 10-72

.

2. Unwrap the sealant/air hose (6)

and the power plug (7).

3. Place the kit on the ground.

Make sure the tire valve stem is
positioned close to the ground
so the hose will reach it.

4. Remove the valve stem cap from

the flat tire by turning it
counterclockwise.

5. Attach the sealant/air hose (6)

onto the tire valve stem. Turn it
clockwise until it is tight.

6. Plug the power plug (7) into the

accessory power outlet in the
vehicle. Unplug all items from
other accessory power outlets.

If the vehicle has an accessory
power outlet, do not use the
cigarette lighter.

If the vehicle only has a cigarette
lighter, use the cigarette lighter.

Do not pinch the power plug
cord in the door or window.

7. Start the vehicle. The vehicle

must be running while using the
air compressor.

8. Turn the selector switch (2)

clockwise to the Sealant + Air
position.
