• Drive carefully and avoid abrupt steering maneuvers.
• Periodically monitor tire inflation pressure in the affected tire; if the

tire is losing pressure, have the vehicle towed.

• Read the information in the Tips for use of the tire inflation kit

section to ensure safe operation of the tire inflation kit and your
vehicle.

Tips for use of the tire inflation kit

Read the following list of tips to ensure safe operation of the tire
inflation kit:
• Before operating the inflation kit, make sure your vehicle is safely off

the road and away from moving traffic.

• 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 inflation 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 10

minutes; this will help prevent the compressor from overheating.

• Never leave the inflation kit unattended when it is operating.
• Keep the inflation kit away from children.
• Only use the inflation kit when the ambient temperature is above

–20°F.

• Only use the inflation kit for sealing/inflating the tires on your vehicle.

Do not use the kit for inflating tires on motorcycles, bicycles or any
other type of tire.

• Only use the sealing compound before the expiration date. The

expiration date is labeled on the unit.

• Do not store the inflation kit inside the passenger compartment of the

vehicle as it may cause injury during a sudden stop or collision. Store
the kit in its proper location.
