1 Injecting Sealant and Air
NOTICE
Do not operate the temporary tyre repair kit compressor
for more than 15 minutes. The 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 tyre 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 tyre may be too severely damaged for
the kit to provide the necessary seal and your vehicle
will need to be towed.
See a Honda dealer for a replacement sealant bottle
and proper disposal of an empty bottle.

compressor with the vehicle outdoors.
