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.

tube) from the compressor housing.

- 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.

tube) around the channel on the
bottom of the housing/casing.
