Notes on the safe use of the Tire Mobility Kit

  • Park your car at the side of the road so that you can work with the TMK away from moving traffic. Place your warning triangle in a prominent place to make passing vehicles aware of your location.

  • To be sure your vehicle will not move, even when you're on fairly level ground, always set your parking brake.

  • Only use the TMK for sealing/inflation passenger car tires. Do not use on motorcycles, bicycles or any other type of tires.

  • Do not remove any foreign objectssuch as nails or screws -that have penetrated the tire.

  • Before using the TMK, read the precautionary advice printed on the sealant bottle!

  • Provided the car is outdoors, leave the ON ( indicator ON). Otherwise operating the compressor may eventually drain the car battery.

  • Never leave the TMK unattended while it is being used.

  • Do not leave the compressor running for more than 10 min. at a time or it may overheat.

  • Do not use the TMK if the ambient temperature is below -30°C (-22°F).

  • When the tire and wheel are damaged, do not use Tire Mobility Kit for your safety.
