Using The Deflation Button
• Press the Deflation Button (2) to reduce the air pressure in the tire if it becomes over-inflated.
TIREFIT Usage Precautions
• Replace the TIREFIT Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) prior to theexpiration date (printed on the bottle label) to assure optimum operation of the
system. 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∕4in (6 mm) diameter in the
tread of your vehicle.
• Do not lift or carry the TIREFIT kit by the hoses.
Sealing A Tire With TIREFIT
(A) Whenever You Stop To Use TIREFIT:
• Pull over to a safe location and turn on the vehicle’s Hazard Warning flashers.
• Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with the deflated tire) is in a position thatis 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.
• Place the transmission in PARK (auto transmission) or in Gear (manual transmission) and turn Off the ignition.
• Set the parking brake.
(B) Setting Up To Use TIREFIT:
• Turn the Mode Select Knob (5) to the Sealant Mode position.
• Uncoil the Sealant Hose (6) and then remove the cap from the fitting at the end ofthe hose.
• Place the TIREFIT kit flat on the ground next to the deflated tire.
