Always do a safety check first. See
If a Tire Goes Flat on page 5-61.
1. Remove the tire sealant and
compressor kit from its storage
location. See Tire Sealant
and Compressor Kit Storage on
page 5-70.
2. Unwrap the air only hose (G)
and the power plug (H).
3. Place the kit on the ground.
Make sure the tire valve
stem is positioned close to the
ground so the hose will reach it.
4. Remove the tire valve stem cap
from the flat tire by turning it
counterclockwise.
5. Attach the air only hose (G) onto
the tire valve stem by turning it
clockwise until it is tight.
6. Plug the power plug (H) into the
accessory power outlet in the
vehicle. Unplug all items
from other accessory power
outlets. See Accessory Power
Outlet(s) on page 3-17.
If the vehicle has an accessory
power outlet, do not use the
cigarette lighter.
If the vehicle only has a cigarette
lighter, use the cigarette lighter.
Do not pinch the power plug
cord in the door or window.
7. Start the vehicle. The vehicle
must be running while using
the air compressor.
8. Turn the selector switch (A)
clockwise to the Air Only position.
9. Press the on/off (B) button to turn
the compressor on.
The compressor will inflate the
tire with air only.
10. Inflate the tire to the
recommended inflation pressure
using the pressure gage (C).
The recommended inflation
pressure can be found on the
Tire and Loading Information
label. See Inflation - Tire
Pressure on page 5-45.
The pressure gage (C) may
read higher than the actual tire
pressure while the compressor
is on. Turn the compressor
off to get an accurate reading.
The compressor may be
turned on/off until the correct
pressure is reached.
