WARNING! (Continued)
•TIREFIT Sealant solution contains latex. In case of
allergic reaction or rash, consult a physician im-
mediately. Keep TIREFIT out of reach of children.
If swallowed, rinse mouth immediately with
plenty of water and drink plenty of water. Do not
induce vomiting! Consult a physician immedi-
ately.
•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.

2. Connect the Power Plug (8) to a different 12 Volt
power outlet in your vehicle or another vehicle, if avail-
able. Make sure the engine is running before turning ON
the TIREFIT kit.
3. The Sealant Bottle (1) may be empty due to previous
use. Call for assistance.
NOTE:If the Mode Select Knob (5) is on air mode and
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 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 approxi-
mately 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 immedi-
ately after the Sealant Bottle (1) is empty. Continue to
operate pump and inflate the tire to the pressure indi-
cated on the tire pressure label on the driver-side latch
pillar (recommended pressure). Check the tire pressure
by looking at the Pressure Gauge (3).
If the tire does not inflate to at least 26 psi (1.8 Bar)
pressure within 15 minutes:
•The tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt to drive
the vehicle further. Call for assistance.
NOTE: If the air pump is equipped with a Deflation
Button and the tire becomes over-inflated, press the
Deflation Button to reduce the tire pressure to the
recommended inflation pressure before continuing.
If the tire inflates to the recommended pressure or is at
least 26 psi (1.8 Bar) pressure within 15 minutes:
1. Press the Power Button (4) to turn off the TIREFIT kit.
