If the sealant (white fluid) does flow through the
Sealant Hose:1. Continue to operate the pump untilsealant is no longer flowing
through hose (typically takes 30 - 70
seconds). As the sealant flows
through the Sealant Hose, the Pres-
sure Gauge can read as high as 70
psi (4.8 Bar). The Pressure Gauge
will decrease quickly from approxi-
mately 70 psi (4.8 Bar) to the actual
tire pressure when the Sealant
Bottle is empty. 2. The pump will start to inject air into
the tire immediately after the Seal-
ant Bottle is empty. Continue to
operate the pump and inflate the
tire to the cold tire inflation pres-
sure found on the tire and loading
information label located in the
driver-side door opening. Check
the tire pressure by looking at the
Pressure Gauge.
If the tire does not inflate to at least 26 psi (1.8 Bar)
pressure within 15 minutes:
