CAUTION!
• The metal end fitting from Power Plug (8) may get hot after use, so it should behandled carefully.
• Failure to reinstall the cap on the fitting at the end of the Sealant Hose (6) can result in sealant contacting your skin, clothing, and the vehicle’s interior. It can
also result in sealant contacting internal TIREFIT kit components which may
cause permanent damage to the kit.
WARNING!
• Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side of the vehicle closest to traffic. Pull farenough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when using the TIREFIT
kit.
• Do not use TIREFIT or drive the vehicle under the following circumstances:
− If the puncture in the tire tread is approximately 1/4 in. (6 mm) or larger.
− If the tire has any sidewall damage.
− If the tire has any damage from driving with extremely low tire pressure.
− If the tire has any damage from driving on a flat tire.
− If the wheel has any damage.
− If you are unsure of the condition of the tire or the wheel.
• Keep TIREFIT away from open flames or heat source.
• A loose TIREFIT kit thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could endanger the occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the TIREFIT kit in the place
provided. Failure to follow these warnings can result in injuries that are serious
or fatal to you, your passengers, and others around you.
• Take care not to allow the contents of TIREFIT to come in contact with hair, eyes, or clothing. TIREFIT is harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed
through the skin. It causes skin, eye, and respiratory 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 children. If
swallowed, rinse mouth immediately with plenty of water and drink plenty of
water. Do not induce vomiting! Consult a physician immediately.
• TIREFIT is not a permanent flat tire repair. Have the tire inspected and repaired or replaced after using TIREFIT. Do not exceed 55 mph (88 km/h) until the tire
is repaired or replaced. Failure to follow this warning can result in injuries that
are serious or fatal to you, your passengers, and others around you.
