Tire Service Kit Usage Precautions
• Replace the Tire Service Kit Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) prior to the expi-
ration date (printed at the lower right hand corner on the bottle label) to assure opti-
mum operation of the system
. Refer to “Sealing a Tire with Tire Service Kit” section
(F) “Sealant Bottle and Hose Replacement” .
• The Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) are a one tire application use and need to
be replaced after each use
.
Always replace these components immediately at your
original equipment vehicle dealer
.
• When the Tire Service Kit sealant is in a liquid form, clean water, and a damp cloth will
remove the material from the vehicle or tire and wheel components . Once the sealant
dries, it can easily be peeled off and properly discarded .
• For optimum performance, make sure the valve stem on the wheel is free of debris
before connecting the Tire Service Kit
.
• You can use the Tire Service Kit air pump to inflate bicycle tires . The kit also comes
with two needles, located in the Accessory Storage Compartment (on the bottom of
the air pump) for inflating sport balls, rafts, or similar inflatable items
. However, use
only the Air Pump Hose (7) and make sure the Mode Select Knob (5) is in the Air
Mode when inflating such items to avoid injecting sealant into them
. The Tire Service
Kit Sealant is only intended to seal punctures less than 1/4 inch (6 mm) diameter in
the tread of your tire
.
• Do not lift or carry the Tire Service Kit by the hoses
.
