Tire Sealant

Read and follow the safe handling
instructions on the label adhered to
the sealant canister.

Check the tire sealant expiration
date on the sealant canister. The
sealant canister should be replaced
before its expiration date.
Replacement sealant canisters are
available at your local dealer. See
“Removal and Installation of the
Sealant Canister” following.

There is only enough sealant to seal
one tire. After usage, the sealant
canister and sealant/air hose
assembly must be replaced. See
“Removal and Installation of the
Sealant Canister” following.

Using the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit to Temporarily
Seal and Inflate a
Punctured Tire

Follow the directions closely for
correct sealant usage.

When using the tire sealant and
compressor kit during cold
temperatures, warm the kit in a
heated environment for 5 minutes.
This will help to inflate the tire
faster.

Always do a safety check first. See
If a Tire Goes Flat on page 9‑74.
Do not remove any objects that
have penetrated the tire.

1. Remove the tire sealant and

compressor kit from its storage
location. See Storing the Tire
Sealant and Compressor Kit on
page 9‑93
.

2. Unwrap the sealant/air hose (F)

and the power plug (H).

3. Place the kit on the ground.

Make sure the tire valve stem is
positioned close to the ground
so the hose will reach it.

4. Remove the valve stem cap from

the flat tire by turning it
counterclockwise.
