NOTE:

Do not remove foreign objects (e.g., screws

or nails) from the tire.

• Always start the engine before turning ON the

TIREFIT kit.

NOTE:

Manual transmission vehicles must have the

parking brake engaged and the shift lever in NEUTRAL.

• After pressing the Power Button (4), the sealant

(white fluid) will flow from the Sealant Bottle (1)
through the Sealant Hose (6) and into the tire.

NOTE:

Sealant may leak out through the puncture in

the tire.
If the sealant (white fluid) does not flow

within 0

– 10 seconds through the Sealant Hose (6):

1. Press the Power Button (4) to turn Off the TIREFIT

kit. Disconnect the Sealant Hose (6) from the valve
stem. Make sure the valve stem is free of debris.
Reconnect the Sealant Hose (6) to the valve stem.
Check that the Mode Select Knob (5) is in the
Sealant Mode position and not Air Mode. Press the
Power Button (4) to turn On the TIREFIT kit.

2. Connect the Power Plug (8) to a different 12 Volt

power outlet in your vehicle or another vehicle, if

available. Make sure the engine is running before
turning ON the TIREFIT kit.

3. The Sealant Bottle (1) may be empty due to previ-

ous use. Call for assistance.

NOTE:

If the Mode Select Knob (5) is on Air Mode

and the pump is operating, air will dispense from the
Air Pump Hose (7) only, not the Sealant Hose (6).

If the sealant (white fluid) does flow

through the

Sealant Hose (6):

1. Continue to operate the pump until sealant is no

longer flowing through hose (typically takes 30 - 70
seconds). As the sealant flows through the Sealant
Hose (6), the Pressure Gauge (3) can read as high as
70 psi (5 Bar). The Pressure Gauge (3) will decrease
quickly from approximately 70 psi (5 Bar) to the
actual tire pressure when the Sealant Bottle (1) is
empty.

2. The pump will start to inject air into the tire

immediately after the Sealant Bottle (1) is empty.
Continue to operate the pump and inflate the tire
to the pressure indicated on the tire pressure label
on the driver-side latch pillar (recommended pres-
sure). Check the tire pressure by looking at the
Pressure Gauge (3).
