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

.

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.

9. Press the on/off button (1) to

turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit on.

The compressor will inject
sealant and air into the tire.

The pressure gauge (4) will
initially show a high pressure
while the compressor pushes
the sealant into the tire. Once
the sealant is completely
dispersed into the tire, the
pressure will quickly drop and
start to rise again as the tire
inflates with air only.

10. Inflate the tire to the

recommended inflation
pressure using the pressure
