Tips for Use of the Temporary Mobility Kit
Read the following list of tips to ensure safe operation of the temporary
mobility kit:
•
Before operating the temporary mobility kit, make sure your vehicle is
safely off the road and away from moving traffic. Turn on the hazard
lights.
•
Always set the parking brake to ensure the vehicle doesn’t move
unexpectedly.
•
Do not remove any foreign objects, such as nails or screws, from the
tire.
•
When using the temporary mobility kit, leave the engine running (only
if the vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated area) so the
compressor doesn’t drain the vehicle’s battery.
•
Do not allow the compressor to operate continuously for more than
15 minutes; this will help prevent the compressor from overheating.
•
Never leave the temporary mobility kit unattended when it is
operating.
•
Sealant compound contains latex. Make sure that you use the
non-latex gloves provided to avoid an allergic reaction.
•
Keep the temporary mobility kit away from children.
•
Only use the temporary mobility kit when the ambient temperature is
between -40°F (-40°C) and 158°F (70°C).
•
Only use the sealing compound before the use by date. The use by
date is on the lower right hand corner of the label located on the
sealant canister (bottle). Check the use by date regularly and replace
the canister after four years.
•
Do not store the temporary mobility kit unsecured inside the
passenger compartment of the vehicle as it may cause injury during a
sudden stop or collision. Always store the kit in its original location.
