Sealing A Tire With Tire Service Kit

(A) Whenever You Stop To Use Tire Service Kit:
1. Pull over to a safe location and turn on the vehicle’s Hazard Warning flashers.
2. Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with the deflated tire) is in a position that is near to the

ground. This will allow the Tire Service Kit Hoses (6) and (7) to reach the valve stem and keep

the Tire Service Kit flat on the ground. This will provide the best positioning of the kit when

injecting the sealant into the deflated tire and running the air pump. Move the vehicle as

necessary to place the valve stem in this position before proceeding.

3. Place the transmission in PARK (auto transmission) or in Gear (manual transmission) and

cycle the ignition to the OFF position.

4. Set the parking brake.
(B) Setting Up To Use Tire Service Kit:
1. Turn the Mode Select Knob (5) to the Sealant Mode position.
2. Uncoil the Sealant Hose (6) and then remove the cap from the fitting at the end of the hose.
3. Place the Tire Service Kit flat on the ground next to the deflated tire.
4. Remove the cap from the valve stem and then screw the fitting at the end of the Sealant Hose

(6) onto the valve stem.

5. Uncoil the Power Plug (8) and insert the plug into the vehicle’s 12 Volt power outlet.
6. Do not remove foreign objects (e.g., screws or nails) from the tire.
(C) Injecting Tire Service Kit Sealant Into The Deflated Tire:
Always start the engine before turning ON the Tire Service Kit.
NOTE:

Manual transmission vehicles must have the parking brake engaged and the shift lever in

NEUTRAL.
After pressing the Power Button (4), the sealant (white fluid) will flow from the Sealant Bottle (1)

through the Sealant Hose (6) and into the tire.
NOTE:

Sealant may leak out through the puncture in the tire.
If the sealant (white fluid) does not flow within 0 – 10 seconds through the Sealant Hose (6):
1. Press the Power Button (4) to turn Off the Tire Service Kit. Disconnect the Sealant Hose (6)

from the valve stem. Make sure the valve stem is free of debris. Reconnect the Sealant Hose

(6) to the valve stem. Check that the Mode Select Knob (5) is in the Sealant Mode position

and not Air Mode. Press the Power Button (4) to turn On the Tire Service Kit.

2. Connect the Power Plug (8) to a different 12 Volt power outlet in your vehicle or another

vehicle, if available. Make sure the engine is running before turning ON the Tire Service Kit.

3. The Sealant Bottle (1) may be empty due to previous use. Call for assistance.
