Tire Service Kit Usage Precautions
•
Replace the Tire Service Kit Sealant Bottle
prior to the expiration date (printed at the
lower right hand corner on the bottle label) to
assure optimum operation of the system.
Refer to “Sealant Bottle Replacement” in this
section.
•
The Sealant Bottle is a one tire application
use and needs to be replaced after each use.
Always replace these components immedi-
ately 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 Stor-
age Compartment (on the bottom of the air
pump) for inflating sport balls, rafts, or similar
inflatable items. However, use only the Air
Pump and make sure the Mode Select Knob
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 vehicle.
•
Do not lift or carry the Tire Service Kit by the
hoses.
WARNING!
•
Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side of
the vehicle closest to traffic. Pull far enough
off the road to avoid the danger of being hit
when using the Tire Service Kit.

•
If you are unsure of the condition of the
tire or the wheel.
•
Keep Tire Service Kit away from open
flames or heat source.
•
A loose Tire Service Kit thrown forward in a
collision or hard stop could endanger the

Tire Service Kit in the place provided. Fail-
ure to follow these warnings can result in
injuries that are serious or fatal to you, your
passengers, and others around you.
•
Take care not to allow the contents of Tire
Service Kit to come in contact with hair,
eyes, or clothing. Tire Service Kit sealant is
harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed
through the skin. It causes skin, eye, and
respiratory irritation. Flush immediately
with plenty of water if there is any contact
