SeeIf a Tire Goes Flat 0302 for other
important safety warnings.
1. Remove the tire sealant and compressor kit from its storage
location. See Storing the Tire
Sealant and Compressor Kit 0309.
2. Unwrap the air only hose (7) and the power plug (8).
3. Place the kit on the ground.
Make sure the tire valve stem is
positioned close to the ground so
the hose will reach it.
4. Remove the tire valve stem cap from the flat tire by turning it
counterclockwise.
5. Attach the air only hose (7) onto the tire valve stem by turning it
clockwise until it is tight.
6. Plug the power plug (8) into the accessory power outlet in the
vehicle. Unplug all items from
other accessory power outlets.
See Power Outlets 0109.
If the vehicle has an accessory
power outlet, do not use the
cigarette lighter. If the vehicle only has a cigarette
lighter, use the cigarette lighter.
Do not pinch the power plug
cord in the door or window.
7. Start the vehicle. The vehicle must be running while using the
air compressor.
8. Press and turn the selector switch (1) clockwise to the Air
Only position.
9. Press the on/off (2) button to turn the compressor on.
The compressor will inflate the
tire with air only.
10. Inflate the tire to the recommended inflation pressure
using the pressure gauge (3). The
recommended inflation pressure
can be found on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See
Tire Pressure 0290.
The pressure gauge (3) may read
higher than the actual tire
pressure while the compressor is
on. Turn the compressor off to
get an accurate reading. The compressor may be turned on/off
until the correct pressure is
reached.
If you inflate the tire higher than
the recommended pressure you
can adjust the excess pressure by
pressing the pressure deflation
button (4) until the proper
pressure reading is reached. This
option is only functional when
using the air only hose (7).
11. Press the on/off button (2) to turn the tire sealant and
compressor kit off.
Be careful while handling the tire
sealant and compressor kit as it
could be warm after usage.
12. Unplug the power plug (8) from the accessory power outlet in the
vehicle.
13. Disconnect the air only hose (7) from the tire valve stem, by
turning it counterclockwise, and
replace the tire valve stem cap.
14. Replace the air only hose (7) and the power plug (8) and cord back
in its original location.
