location. SeeStoring the Tire
Sealant and Compressor Kit
on page 9-77.
2. Unwrap the sealant/air hose (F)
and the power plug (G).
3. Place the kit on the ground.
Make sure the tire valve
stem is positioned close to the
ground so the hose will reach it.

from the flat tire by turning it
counterclockwise.5. Attach the sealant/air hose (F)
onto the tire valve stem. Turn
it clockwise until it is tight.

accessory power outlet in the
vehicle. Unplug all items from
other accessory power outlets.
SeePower Outlets on page 4-9.

power outlet, do not use the
cigarette lighter.
If the vehicle only has a cigarette
lighter, use the cigarette lighter.
Do not pinch the power plug
cord in the door or window.

must be running while using
the air compressor.8. Turn the selector switch (B)

compressor kit on.
The compressor will inject
sealant and air into the tire.
The pressure gage (D) will
initially show a high pressure

sealant into the tire. Once the
sealant is completely dispersed
into the tire, the pressure will
quickly drop and start to rise
again as the tire inflates with
air only.
