Place loads as low and central to theaxle(s) of the trailer as possible. If you aretowing with an unladen vehicle, the loadin the trailer should be placed toward thenose, within the maximum nose load, asthis gives the best stability.
The stability of your vehicle to trailercombination is very much dependant onthe quality of the trailer.
In high altitude regions above 3 281 feet (1000 metres), the stipulated maximumpermitted gross train weight must bereduced by 10% for every additional 3 281feet (1 000 metres).

Do not use the kit on a previouslydamaged tyre, for example when ithas been driven under inflated.
WARNINGS
Do not use the kit on run flat tyre.
Do not try to seal damage other thanthat located within the visible treadof the tyre.
