Start the vehicle. The vehicle must be running while using the air compressor. running, check for leaks at the connection between the hose and the tire valve stem. 7. Inflate the tire up to the recommended inflation pressure using the air pressure gage (F) on the top of the unit. See Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 9-49. The pressure gage (F) reads slightly high while the compressor is on. Turn the compressor off to get an accurate reading. The compressor may be turned on and off until the correct pressure is reached. 8. Push the On/Off switch (G) to the O (off) position. Be careful while handling the tire sealant and compressor kit as they could be hot after usage. 9. Unplug the air compressor accessory plug (A) from the accessory power outlet in the vehicle and stow it in its original location. 10. Disconnect the air-only hose (E) from the tire valve stem and stow it back in its original location. 11. Replace the tire valve stem cap. { CAUTION Storing the tire sealant and compressor kit or other equipment in the passenger compartment of the vehicle could cause injury. In a sudden stop or collision, loose equipment could strike someone. Store the tire sealant and compressor kit in its original location. 12. Place the equipment in the original location in the trunk of your vehicle. { CAUTION Overinflation could cause the tire to rupture, and you or others could be injured.

Check the pressure gage (F).
If there is not a pressure reading
while the compressor is
running, check for leaks at the
connection between the
hose and the tire valve stem.
7. Inflate the tire up to the
recommended inflation pressure
using the air pressure gage (F)
on the top of the unit. See
