2.
Remove the Speed Limit sticker
from the top of the Sealant Bottle (1)
and place the sticker on the instrument
panel.
3. Immediately disconnect the Seal-
ant Hose (6) from the valve stem,
reinstall the cap on the fitting at the
end of the hose, and place the TIRE-
FIT kit in the vehicle storage location.
Quickly proceed to (D) “Drive Ve-
hicle”.CAUTION!
The metal end fitting from Power Plug (8) may get hot after use, so
it should be handled 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. (A) Whenever You Stop To Use
TIREFIT:
1.
Pull over to a safe location and turn
on the vehicle’s Hazard Warning flash-
ers.
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. 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 in-
sert the plug into the vehicle’s 12 Volt
power outlet.
NOTE: Do not remove foreign ob-
jects (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.
