8. Inflate the tire to the pressure specified

by the tire label located on the driver
door or the door jamb area. While the
sealant compound is being pumped
into the tire, the air pressure gauge will
indicate a pressure above the actual
tire pressure. This is normal and should
be no reason for concern. The pressure
gauge will provide a correct tire
pressure reading after about 30
seconds of operation. The tire pressure
has to be checked with the compressor
in the off position to get an accurate
tire pressure reading.

9. When the recommended tire pressure

is reached, turn off the kit by pressing
the on/off button. Disconnect the kit
from the tire valve and the power point.
Re-install the valve cap on the tire
valve, place the tube cap on the metal
connector, and return the kit to the
stowage area

10.

Immediately and cautiously, drive the
vehicle 4 miles (6 kilometers) to
distribute the sealant evenly inside
the tire. Do not exceed 50 mph (80
km/h).

11.

After 4 miles (6 kilometers), stop and
check the tire pressure. See Second
stage: Checking tire pressure.

Note: If you experience any unusual
vibration, ride disturbance or noise while
driving, reduce your speed until you can
safely pull off to the side of the road to call
for roadside assistance. Note: Do not
proceed to the second stage of this
operation.

Second Stage: Checking Tire
Pressure

WARNINGS

If you are proceeding from the First
stage: Re–inflating the tire with
sealing compound and air section

and have injected sealant in the tire and
the pressure is below 20 psi (1.4 bar), stop
and call roadside assistance. If tire
pressure is above 20 psi (1.4 bar), continue
to the next step.

The power plug may get hot after use
and should be handled carefully
while unplugging.

Check the air pressure of your tires as
follows:

1.

Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve.

2. Unhook the black hose from the side

of the compressor and fasten firmly on
the valve stem by turning clockwise.

3. Push and turn the dial clockwise to the

air position. Turn on the kit by pressing
the on button.
