WARNING! (Continued)

• Take care not to allow the contents of TIREFIT to

come in contact with hair, eyes, or clothing. TIRE-
FIT is harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed
through the skin. It causes skin, eye, and respira-
tory irritation. Flush immediately with plenty of
water if there is any contact with eyes or skin.
Change clothing as soon as possible, if there is any
contact with clothing.

• TIREFIT Sealant solution contains latex. In case of

an allergic reaction or rash, consult a physician
immediately. Keep TIREFIT out of reach of chil-
dren. If swallowed, rinse mouth immediately with
plenty of water and drink plenty of water. Do not
induce vomiting! Consult a physician immedi-
ately.

WARNING! (Continued)

• Use the gloves provided in the Accessory Storage

Compartment (located on the bottom of the air
pump) when operating the TIREFIT kit.

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 positioning 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 turn Off the ignition.

4. Set the parking brake.

(B) Setting Up To Use TIREFIT:

1. Remove the gloves from the Accessory Storage Com-
partment (located on the bottom of the air pump) and
place them on your hands.

2. Turn the Mode Select Knob (5) to the Sealant Mode
position.

3. Uncoil the Sealant Hose (6) and then remove the cap
from the fitting at the end of the hose.

4. Place the TIREFIT kit flat on the ground next to the
deflated tire.

5. Remove the cap from the valve stem and then screw
the fitting at the end of the Sealant Hose (6) onto the
valve stem.

6. Uncoil the Power Plug (8) and insert the plug into the
vehicle’s 12 Volt power outlet.

NOTE:

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

nails) from the tire.

• Always start the engine before turning ON the TIRE-

FIT 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.
