• Replace the TIREFIT Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant
Hose (6) prior to the expiration date (printed on the
bottle label) to assure optimum operation of the
system. Refer to “Sealing a Tire with TIREFIT” sec-
tion (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 bot-
tom 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
