CAUTION:
Overinflation could cause the tire to rupture,
and you or others could be injured. Be sure to
read the inflator instructions, and inflate the
tire to its recommended pressure. Do not
exceed 36 psi (248 kPa).

The sealant and compressor kit injects sealant
and air into the tire. Sealant could leak from
the puncture hole until the vehicle is driven and
the hole has sealed.
The pressure gage (D) will initially show a high
pressure while the compressor injects the sealant
into the tire. Once the sealant is completely
dispersed into the tire, the pressure will quickly
dropped and start to rise again as the tire
inflates with air.
