Tire Sealant The kit contains a liquid sealant that when injected into a flat tire, may temporarily repair nail holes or cuts in the tread area of the tire. The tire sealant cannot repair tire damage caused while driving on a flat tire or a tire that has had a "blow out" or a tire that has punctures in the sidewall areas. The tire sealant solution is a one-time use application for one tire only. Check the tire sealant expiration date; the sealant may not be as effective beyond the expiration date. The tire sealant can be peeled off easily after drying. 4. Attach the tire sealant filling hose to the bottle of tire sealant to pierce the seal on the bottle. 5. Remove the sealing plug from the end of the filling hose and insert the end of the hose over the tire valve. 6. Hold the bottle upside down over the tire valve and squeeze the sealant into the tire until the bottle is empty. 7. Remove the sealant filling hose from the tire valve and reinstall the sealing plug. 8. Insert the valve core back into the tire valve. Turn the valve core tool clockwise to secure the valve core. Once the tire sealant is applied, you can use the compressor to inflate the tire. See Air Compressor on page 5-70 for instructions. Using Tire Sealant To apply the tire sealant, do the following: 1. Turn the valve cap on the tire valve counterclockwise to remove it. 2. Remove the valve core using the valve core tool provided in the tire inflator kit. An extra valve core is also provided in the kit. 3. Shake the bottle to make sure the sealant is well mixed. 5-69
