7. Press the inflator switch to turn on the
compressor.
The compressor starts injecting sealant
and air into the tire.

continue to add air.
9. After the air pressure reaches 30 psi (210
kPa), turn off the kit.
To check the pressure, occasionally turn
off the compressor and read the gauge.

WARNING
Running the engine with the vehicle in
an enclosed or even partly enclosed area
can cause a rapid build-up of toxic carbon
monoxide.
Breathing this colorless, odorless gas can
cause unconsciousness and even death.
Only run the engine to power the air
compressor with the vehicle outdoors.
NOTICE
Do not operate the tire repair kit compressor
for more than 15 minutes. The accessory power
socket and compressor can overheat and become
permanently damaged.
Until the sealant injection is complete, the pressure
shown on the pressure gauge will appear higher
than actual. After the sealant injection is complete
the pressure will drop and then begin to rise again
as the tire is inflated with air. This is normal. To
accurately measure the air pressure using the gauge,
turn the air compressor off only after the sealant
injection is complete.
If the required air pressure is not reached within
10 minutes, the tire may be too severely damaged
for the kit to provide the necessary seal and your
vehicle will need to be towed.
