TIREFIT Usage Precautions
•
Replace the TIREFIT Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) prior to the expiration
date (printed on the bottle label) to assure optimum operation of the system
.
Refer to
“Sealing a Tire with TIREFIT” section (F) “Sealant Bottle and Hose Replacement
.
”
•
The Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) are a one tire application use
.
After each
use, always replace these components immediately at an authorized dealer
.
•
When the TIREFIT sealant is in a liquid form, clean water, and a damp cloth will re-
move 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 TIREFIT kit
.
•
You can use the TIREFIT 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 TIREFIT Sealant is only intended to seal punc-
tures less than 1/4” (6 mm) diameter in the tread of your vehicle
.
•
Do not lift or carry the TIREFIT kit by the hoses
.
Sealing A Tire With TIREFIT
(A) Whenever You Stop To Use TIREFIT:
1
.
Pull over to a safe location and turn on the vehicle’s Hazard Warning flashers
.
2
.
Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with the deflated tire) is in a position that is
near to the ground
.
This will allow the TIREFIT Hoses (6) and (7) to reach the valve
stem and keep the TIREFIT kit flat on the ground
.
This will provide the best position-
ing of the kit when injecting the sealant into the deflated tire and running the air
pump
.
Move the vehicle as necessary to place the valve stem in this position before
proceeding
.
3
.
Place the transmission in PARK (auto transmission) or in Gear (manual transmission)
and cycle the ignition to the OFF position
.
4
.
Set the parking brake
.
(B) Setting Up To Use TIREFIT:
1
.
Turn the Mode Select Knob (5) to the Sealant Mode position
.
2
.
Uncoil the Sealant Hose (6) and then remove the cap from the fitting at the end of
the hose
.
3
.
Place the TIREFIT kit flat on the ground next to the deflated tire
.
4
.
Remove the cap from the valve stem and then screw the fitting at the end of the
Sealant Hose (6) onto the valve stem
.
5
.
Uncoil the Power Plug (8) and insert the plug into the vehicle’s 12 Volt power outlet
.
6
.
Do not remove foreign objects (e
.
g
.
, screws or nails) from the tire
.
