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 sys-

tem. 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 remove 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 punctures less than

1

4

in (6 mm)

diameter in the tread of your vehicle.

• Do not lift or carry the TIREFIT kit by the hoses.

WARNING!

Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side of the

vehicle closest to traffic. Pull far enough off the
road to avoid the danger of being hit when using
the TIREFIT kit.
