Second Stage: Checking Tire Pressure

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: If you are proceeding from the First stage:
Reinflating 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.

3. Turn the dial clockwise to the air position. Turn on the kit by pressing
the on/off button.

4. Adjust the tire to the
recommended inflation pressure
from the tire label located on the
driver’s door or door jamb area.
Pressing the deflation button near
the sealant canister removes air
from the tire.

Note: The tire pressure has to be
checked with the compressor in the
off position to get the correct tire
pressure reading.

5. Turn the compressor off by pressing the on/off button.

6. Unplug the hoses, re-install the valve cap on the tire and return the
kit to the stowage area.
