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 pushing 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 – 10seconds through the Sealant Hose
(6):
1.Push 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.Push 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.
NOTE:
If the Mode Select Knob (5) is on Air Mode and the pump is operating, air will dispense
from the Air Pump Hose (7) only, not the Sealant Hose (6).
If the sealant (white fluid) does flow through the Sealant Hose (6):
1.Continue to operate the pump until sealant is no longer flowing through the hose
(typically takes 30 - 70 seconds).As the sealant flows through the Sealant Hose (6),
the Pressure Gauge (3) can read as high as 70 psi (4.8 Bar).The Pressure Gauge (3)
will decrease quickly from approximately 70 psi (4.8 Bar) to the actual tire pressure
when the Sealant Bottle (1) is empty.
2.The pump will start to inject air into the tire immediately after the Sealant Bottle (1)
is empty.Continue to operate the pump and inflate the tire to the pressure indicated
on the tire pressure label on the driver-side latch pillar (recommended pressure).
Check the tire pressure by looking at the Pressure Gauge (3).
