Puncture Repair
Puncture RepairRemove the punctured tire from the wheel and repair using a combination service plug and vulcanizing patch. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when using a puncture repair kit.
Only punctures in the tread area are repairable, DO NOT attempt to repair punctures in the tire shoulders or sidewalls.
Do not attempt to repair a tire that has sustained the following damage: bulges or blisters, ply separation, broken or cracked beads, wear indicators visible and punctures larger than 1/4 inch diameter.
CAUTION: Do not use tire sealants that are injected through the valve stem to repair punctured tires as they may produce wheel corrosion and tire imbalance.
Aluminium wheel rim bead seats should be cleaned using a non-abrasive cleaner to remove the mounting lubricants and old rubber. Before mounting or demounting a tire, the bead area should be well lubricated with a suitable tire lubricant.
