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
cycle the ignition to the OFF position.
4. Set the parking brake .
(B) Setting Up To Use TIREFIT:
1.Turn the Mode Select Knob (5) to the Sealant Mode position.
2.
Uncoil the Sealant Hose (6) and then remove the cap from the fitting at the end of the hose .
3.Place the TIREFIT kit flat on the ground next to the deflated tire .
4. Remove the cap from the valve stem and then screw the fitting at the end of the Sealant
Hose (6) onto the valve stem.
5. Uncoil the Power Plug (8) and insert the plug into the vehicle’s 12 Volt power outlet.
6. Do not remove foreign objects (e .g., screws or nails) from the tire.
(C) Injecting TIREFIT Sealant Into The Deflated Tire:
•Always start the engine before turning ON the TIREFIT kit.
• 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 .
• If the sealant (white fluid) does not flow within0–10seconds through the Sealant
Hose (6):
1. Press the Power Button (4) to turn Off the TIREFIT kit. Disconnect the Sealant Hose (6)
from the valve stem. Make sure the valve stem is free of debris. Reconnect the Sealant
Hose (6) to the valve stem. Check that the Mode Select Knob (5) is in the Sealant Mode
position and not Air Mode .Press the Power Button (4) to turn On the TIREFIT kit.
2.
Connect the Power Plug (8) to a different 12 Volt power outlet in your vehicle or another
vehicle, if available .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 .

away if it is not secured by the parking brake or other means. Activating the Manual Park
Release on an unsecured vehicle could lead to serious injury or death for those in or
around the vehicle .
• In order to move the vehicle in cases where the transmission will not shift out of PARK
(such as a dead battery), a Manual Park Release is available .Ifadead12voltbatteryis
