WARNING
■
When fixing the flat tire
●
Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat area.
●
If force is used to turn the valve core tool while air remains in the tire, spe-
cial care should be taken because the valve core could fly out.
●
Be careful, as sealant may fly out if you shake the bottle with the hose
installed.
● Do not touch the wheels or the area around the brakes immediately after
the vehicle has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven, the wheels and the area around the
brakes may be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or
other body parts may result in burns.
●
Connect the valve and hose securely with the tire installed on the vehicle.
If the hose is not properly connected to the valve, air leakage may occur
as sealant may be sprayed out.
●
If the hose comes off the valve while inflating the tire, there is a risk that
the hose will move abruptly due to air pressure.
● After inflation of the tire has completed, the sealant may splatter when the
hose is disconnected or some air is let out of the tire.
●
Follow the operation procedure to repair the tire. If the procedures not fol-
lowed, the sealant may spray out.
●
Keep back from the tire while it is being repaired, as there is a chance of it
bursting while the repair operation is being performed. If you notice any
cracks or deformation of the tire, turn off the compressor switch and stop
the repair operation immediately.
