REPAIR AGENT REMOVAL

WARNING:

• The repair agent is harmful to humans. If the repair agent gets into the eyes or on the skin, wash immediately with a large amount of water. If you continue to experience abnormal symptoms, consult a doctor.

NOTE:

• Be careful not to allow the repair agent to discharge from the inside of the tire. If repair agent has discharged, wipe it off using a rag.

• Dispose of the extracted repair agent container and any other repair agent in which expiration date for use has passed in the same manner as oil or engine coolant.

• For a tire which has been repaired using the emergency puncture repair kit, it is recommended that it be replaced with a new tire as the functionality may have decreased.

1. Remove the emergency-puncture-repaired wheel and tire from the vehicle.

2. Stand the wheel and tire up so that the valve is facing upward, remove the valve core, and let the air out of the tire completely.

WARNING:

• Always wear protective eye wear when removing the valve core. Otherwise, dispersing repair agent could get into the eyes.

CAUTION:

• To prevent the repair agent from splattering, cover the valve with a rag when removing the valve core.

3. Remove the bead on the outside of the tire from the wheel rim.

4. Drain the repair agent in the tire from the gap between the bead on the outside of the tire and the wheel rim using an injection device.

NOTE:

• Wipe off the repair agent which has not been drained using the injection device with a rag.

5. Remove the tire from the wheel.

6. Remove the valve from the wheel.

7. Wipe off the repair agent remaining on the tire and wheel using a rag.

8. Assemble the new valve to the wheel.

CAUTION:

• Do not reuse the valve and valve core with repair agent adhering as they may not function normally, and replace them with new ones.

9. Assemble the tire to the wheel.
