WARNINGS
- Compressed air may be explosive or may cause propulsion.
- Never leave the tire repair kit unattended while in use.
CAUTION
Do not allow the compressor to run for longer than 10 minutes.
Note: Only use the tire repair kit in the vehicle with which it was supplied.
- Park the vehicle at the side of the road so that it does not obstruct traffic and so that you can use the kit safely.
- Apply the parking brake, even if you have parked on level ground, to ensure the vehicle cannot move.
- Do not attempt to remove foreign objects, such as nails or screws, that are embedded in the tire.
- When the kit is in use, leave the engine running, but not if the vehicle is in a confined space or poorly ventilated area (for example,
inside a building). In this case, operate the compressor with the engine switched off.
