■Injecting Sealant and Air1Injecting Sealant and Air
In cold temperatures, the sealant may not flow easily.
In this situation, warm it up for five minutes before using.
The sealant can permanently stain clothing and other
materials. Be careful during handling and wipe away
any spills immediately.
3WARNING
Tire sealant contains substances that are
harmful and can be fatal if swallowed.
If accidentally swallowed, do not induce
vomiting. Drink plenty of water and get
medical attention immediately.
For skin or eye contac t, flush with cool
water and get medical attention if necessary.

6. Turn the selector switch to SEALANT/
AIR .
7. Press the inflator switch to turn on the
compressor.
uThe compressor starts injecting sealant
and air into the tire.
8. When the sealant injection is complete,
continue to add air.
9. After the air pressure reaches front: 33 psi
(230kPa)/rear: 33 psi (225 kPa), turn off
the kit.
uTo check the pressure, occasionally turn
off the compressor and read the gauge.
1Injecting Sealant and Air
NOTICEDo not operate the tire repair kit compressor for
more than 15 minutes. The accessory power socket
and compressor can overheat and become permanently damaged.
Until the sealant injection is complete, the pressure
shown on the pressure gauge will appear higher than
actual. After the sealant injection is complete the
pressure will drop and then begin to rise again as the
tire is inflated with air. This is normal. To accurately
measure the air pressure using the gauge, turn the air
compressor off only after the sealant injection is complete.
If the required air pressure is not reached within 10
minutes, the tire may be too severely damaged for
the kit to provide the necessary seal and your vehicle
will need to be towed.
3WARNING
Running the engine with the vehicle in an
enclosed or even partly enclosed area can cause
a rapid build-up of toxic carbon monoxide.
Breathing this colorless, odorless gas can
cause unconsciousness and even death.
Only run the engine to power the air
compressor with the vehicle outdoors.

Turn off the power to electric devices, such as audio and lights. Turn off the power
system, then open the hood.1.Connect the first jumper cable to your vehicle's 12-volt battery + terminal.
2. Connect the other end of the first jumper
cable to the booster battery + terminal.
uUse a 12-volt booster battery only.
3. Connect the second jumper cable to the
booster battery - terminal.
4. Connect the other end of the second
jumper cable to the engine mounting bolt
as shown. Do not connect this jumper cable
to any other part.
5. If your vehicle is connected to another
vehicle, start the assisting vehicle's engine
and increase its rpm slightly.
6. Attempt to start your vehicle's engine. If it
turns over slowly, check that the jumper
cables have good metal-to-metal contact.
■Jump Starting Procedure1Jump Starting
Securely attach the jumper cables clips so that they
do not come off when the engine vibrates. Also be
careful not to tangle the jumper cables or allow the
cable ends to touch each other while attaching or
detaching the jumper cables.
12-volt battery performance degrades in cold
conditions and may prevent the engine from starting.
3WARNING
A 12-volt battery can explode if you do not
follow the correct procedure, seriously
injuring anyone nearby.
Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking
materials away from the 12-volt battery.
