CAUTION

Do not shake the bottle excessively.
Otherwise, the sealant could spray out
of the injection hose, and if the sealant
contacts clothing or other objects, you
may not be able to remove it.

NOTE

The sealant hardens easily and
injecting it will be difficult under cold
weather conditions (0 °C (32 °F) or
below). Warm the sealant inside the
vehicle to facilitate injection.

7. Pull out the air compressor hose and

the air compressor plug from the air

is not installed to the injection valve of
the bottle securely, the sealant may
leak.
