NOTICE Do not operate the temporary tire repair kit compressor for more than 15 minutes. The REPAIR Side compressor can overheat and become permanently damaged.

Until the sealant injection is complete, the pressure shown on the pressure gauge will appear higher than actual. After the sealant injection is complete the pressure will drop and then begin to rise again as the tire is inflated with air. This is normal. To accurately measure the air pressure using the gauge, turn the air compressor off only after the sealant injection is complete. uuIf a Tire Goes FlatuTemporarily Repairing a Flat Tire
