How to Use a Tire Repair Sealant?
2 Answers
The usage method of tire repair sealant: First, shake the sealant bottle quickly in your hand for about 1 minute to evenly mix the liquid; then lift the outer tube and connect the tube nozzle to the tire valve, ensuring a secure connection without any air leakage; tear off the fixed ring at the top of the bottle, turn on the switch, and the sealant will start working; you can see the white liquid flowing through the tube, which doesn't take much time. Here are the precautions for using tire repair sealant: 1. Do not pull out the tube directly: If you want to stop the process midway while using the sealant, do not pull out the tube directly, as the liquid may spray out. Instead, first turn off the switch at the top of the bottle; if you feel the liquid pressure in the can is insufficient during use, you can turn off the switch at the top of the bottle and shake it vigorously for a few minutes instead of removing the air tube. 2. Do not remove the object that punctured the tire: The tire repair sealant must be used when the tire is punctured by a foreign object, and the object should not be pulled out, otherwise the injected liquid will be sprayed out.
Speaking of using tire sealant, I've personally tried it. That time when I had a flat tire on the road, I first found a safe place to pull over, turned off the engine, and engaged the parking brake. I took out the tire sealant bottle and shook it vigorously for two minutes to ensure the liquid was well mixed. Then, I unscrewed the cap of the tire valve, aligned the bottle's nozzle tightly, and pressed or pushed it in to let the sealant flow in quickly. The action should be smooth and don't drag it out. Next, I used the onboard air pump to inflate the tire to the recommended pressure and checked for any new leaks. Finally, I drove slowly for two or three kilometers to distribute the sealant evenly. Remember, this is just a temporary emergency fix; you must go to a repair shop for a proper check afterward, as excessive use of tire sealant might damage the tire internally. Never attempt this in traffic—safety first.
