TIREFIT Usage Precautions
•
Replace the TIREFIT Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant
Hose (6) prior to the expiration date (printed on the
bottle label) to assure optimum operation of the sys-
tem. Refer to “Sealing a Tire with TIREFIT” section (F)
“Sealant Bottle and Hose Replacement”.
•
The Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) are a one
tire application use. After each use, always replace
these components immediately at an authorized
dealer.
•
When the TIREFIT sealant is in a liquid form, clean
water, and a damp cloth will remove the material from
the vehicle or tire and wheel components. Once the
sealant dries, it can easily be peeled off and properly
discarded.
•
For optimum performance, make sure the valve stem
on the wheel is free of debris before connecting the
TIREFIT kit.
•
You can use the TIREFIT air pump to inflate bicycle
tires. The kit also comes with two needles, located in
the Accessory Storage Compartment (on the bottom of
the air pump) for inflating sport balls, rafts, or similar
inflatable items. However, use only the Air Pump
Hose (7) and make sure the Mode Select Knob (5) is in
the Air Mode when inflating such items to avoid
injecting sealant into them. The TIREFIT Sealant is
only intended to seal punctures less than
1
⁄
4
in (6 mm)
diameter in the tread of your vehicle.
•
Do not lift or carry the TIREFIT kit by the hoses.

WARNING!
•
Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side of the
vehicle closest to traffic. Pull far enough off the
road to avoid the danger of being hit when using
the TIREFIT kit.
•
Do not use TIREFIT or drive the vehicle under the
following circumstances:
−
If the cut or puncture in the tire tread is approxi-
mately 0.24 in. (6 mm) or larger.
−
If the tire has any sidewall damage.
−
If the tire has any damage from driving with
extremely low tire pressure.
−
If the tire has any damage from driving on a flat
tire.
−
If the wheel has any damage.

WARNING! (Continued)
−
If you are unsure of the condition of the tire or the
wheel.
•
Keep TIREFIT away from open flames or heat
source.
•
A loose TIREFIT kit thrown forward in a collision
or hard stop could endanger the occupants of the
vehicle. Always stow the TIREFIT kit in the place
provided. Failure to follow these warnings can
result in injuries that are serious or fatal to you,
your passengers, and others around you.
