8. Inflate the tire to the pressure listed on
the tire label located on the driver's
door or the door jamb area. When you
first add the sealing compound into the
tire, the air pressure gauge reading on
the compressor unit may indicate a
higher value; this is normal and should
be no reason for concern. The pressure
will drop after about 30 seconds of
operation. You have to check the tire
pressure with the compressor in the
OFF position to get the correct tire
pressure reading.
9. When you reach the recommended tire
pressure, turn off the kit by pressing the
on button; disconnect the kit from the
tire valve and the power point.
Re-install the valve cap on the tire
valve, place the tube cap on the metal
connector, and return the kit to the
stowage area
10. Immediately and cautiously, drive the
vehicle 4 miles (6 kilometers) to
distribute the sealant evenly inside
the tire. Do not exceed 50 mph (80
km/h).
11. After 4 miles (6 kilometers), stop and
check the tire pressure. See Second
stage: Checking tire pressure.
Note: If you experience any unusual
vibration, ride disturbance or noise while
driving, reduce your speed until you can
safely pull off to the side of the road to call
for roadside assistance.
Note: Do not proceed to the second stage
of this operation.
Second Stage: Checking Tire
Pressure
WARNINGS
If you are proceeding from the First
stage: Re–inflating the tire with
sealing compound and air section
and have injected sealant in the tire and
the pressure is below 20 psi (1.4 bar), stop
and call roadside assistance. If tire
pressure is above 20 psi (1.4 bar), continue
to the next step.
The power plug may get hot after use
and you should handle it carefully
while unplugging.
Check the air pressure of your tires as
follows:
1. Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve.
2. Unhook the black hose from the side
of the compressor and fasten firmly on
the valve stem by turning clockwise.
3. Push and turn the dial clockwise to the
air position. Turn on the kit by pressing
the on button.
