Important:
*
NEVER repair tires worn to the tread indicators 1.59 mm (2/32 in) remaining depth.
*
NEVER repair tires with a tread puncture larger than 6.35 mm (1/4 in).
*
NEVER substitute an inner tube for a permissible or non-permissible repair.
*
NEVER perform an outside-in tire repair (plug only, on the wheel).
*
Every tire must be removed from the wheel for proper inspection and repair.

Regardless of the type of repair used, the repair must seal the inner liner and fill the injury.
*
Consult with repair material supplier/manufacturer for repair unit application procedures and repair tools/repair material
recommendations.
Three basic steps for tire puncture repair:
1. Remove the tire from the wheel for inspection and repair.
2. Fill the injury (puncture) to keep moisture out.
3. Seal the inner liner with a repair unit to prevent air loss.
External Inspection
1. Prior to demounting, inspect the tire surface, the valve and the wheel for the source of the leak by using a water and soap solution. Mark the
injured area and totally deflate the tire by removing the valve core.
2. Demount the tire from the wheel and place the tire on a well-lighted spreader.
