Ford Escape: Using the Tire Sealant and Inflator Kit / What to do after the tire has been sealed
After using the kit to seal your tire, you will
need to replace the sealant canister.
Sealant canisters and spare parts can be
obtained at an authorized dealer. Empty
sealant canisters may be disposed of at
home. However, canisters still containing
liquid sealant should be disposed of in
accordance with local waste disposal
regulation.
Removal of the sealant canister from the kit
- Unwrap the dual purpose hose (black
tube) from the compressor housing.
- Unwrap the power cord.
- Remove the back cover.
- Rotate the sealant canister up 90
degrees and pull away from
casing/housing to remove.
Installation of the sealant canister to the kit
- With the canister held perpendicular
to the housing, insert the canister
nozzle into the connector and push
until seated.
- Rotate the canister 90 degrees down
into the housing/casing.
- Snap the back cover back into place.
- Wrap the dual purpose hose (black
tube) around the channel on the
bottom of the housing/casing.
- Wrap the power cord around the
housing and stow the accessory power
plug.
WARNING: If the tire does not
inflate to the recommended tire pressure
within 15 minutes, stop and call roadside
assistance.
WARNING: The power plug may
get hot after use and should be handled
carefully when unplugging...
