2. Safety Information

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection, when performing tire repairs.

5. Operating Instructions: How to Repair a Tire

Follow these steps carefully to perform a temporary tire repair:

1. Locate Puncture and Remove Object:
   Using the pliers, carefully pull out the foreign object (nail, screw, etc.) that caused the puncture. If the object is not visible, apply soapy water to the tire surface to identify the leak by observing bubbles.
2. Ream the Hole:
   Apply a small amount of lubricating oil to the tip of the T-handle spiral probe tool. Insert the spiral probe tool into the puncture hole. Push and twist the tool in and out several times to enlarge and clean the hole, preparing it for the repair plug. This also helps to roughen the rubber for better adhesion.
3. Prepare the Repair Plug:
   Remove one repair plug from its sheet. Thread the repair plug through the eye of the T-handle insert tool needle until it is about halfway through. Gently dip the needle tip and the repair plug into the jar of lubricating oil.
4. Insert the Repair Plug:
   Remove the spiral probe tool from the tire. Immediately insert the T-handle insert tool with the prepared repair plug into the puncture hole. Push the tool firmly and steadily until about 1/2 to 1 inch of the repair plug is visible outside the tire.
5. Remove Insertion Tool:
   While holding the sleeve of the insert tool firmly against the tire, pull the T-handle straight out of the hole. The repair plug should remain in place, sealing the puncture.
6. Trim Excess Plug:
   Using the utility knife, carefully cut off any excess repair plug material, leaving approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the plug sticking out, flush with the tire tread.
7. Inflate and Check:
   Inflate the tire to the manufacturer's recommended pressure using a tire inflator (not included). Use the included tire pressure gauge to verify the pressure. Apply soapy water to the repaired area to check for any leaks. If bubbles appear, the repair may not be sealed properly, and you may need to re-evaluate or seek professional help.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and readiness of your tire repair kit:

• Cleaning Tools: After each use, clean the spiral probe tool and insert tool thoroughly to remove any rubber residue or lubricant. Use a cloth and, if necessary, a mild solvent. Ensure they are dry before storing.
• Storage: Store all components neatly in the provided storage case. Keep the case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Repair Plugs: Keep unused repair plugs sealed in their original packaging to prevent them from drying out. Dried-out plugs may not create an effective seal.
• Lubricant: Ensure the lubricating oil bottle cap is tightly secured after use to prevent leakage or drying.
