TIRE REPAIR
NOTE:
Use the manufacturer’s instructions for the tire repair
kit you are using. If your kit does not have instruc-
tions, use the procedures provided here.
Check the tire for puncturing objects.
Chalk mark the punctured area and remove the punc-
turing object.
Inspect and measure the injury.
Tire repairs for injuries lager than 15 m m in)
should be a section repair.
Section repairs should be done by a professional tire
repair shop.
If
the injury i s smaller than 15 in). proceed
with the repair as described here.
Install a rubber plug into the injury as follows:
Apply a cement to a plug inserting needle and work
the needle into the injury to clean and lubricate it.
Do
this three times.
Do not let the cement dry.
Insert and center a rubber plug through the eye of
the inserting needle.
Apply cement to the rubber plug.
Push the inserting needle with plug into the injury
until the plug
i s slightly above the tire.
Twist the needle and remove it from the tire; the plug
will stay in the tire.
Trim the plug 6 in) above the tire surface.
Repeat the above procedure if the puncture is large.
Do
not use more than two plugs per injury.
Becarefulnotto
push the plug
the way into the
tire to prevent i t
from
falling
inside.
Allow the repair to dry. Drying time will vary with air
temperature. Refer to the tire repair kit manufactur-
er’s recommendations.
Inflate the tire and test the seal by dabbing a small
amount of cement around the plug. Escaping air will
cause
a bubble in the cement. If there is leakage,
remove the tire (page and apply
a
cold patch
to
the inside of the tire as described.
If a plug has been inserted, trim i t even with the inner
tire surface.
Temporarily place a rubber patch that
is at least twice
the size of the puncture over the injury. Make a mark
around the patch, slightly larger than the patch itself.
Rough the area marked inside the tire with a tire
buffer or a wire brush. Clean the rubber dust from
the buffed area.
