Repairing a flat tire

Pukka tires are tubeless 10" 300-4 tires. They are 10 inches in diameter, three inches wide and fit a four inch diameter wheel. Punctures in the tire can be repaired by using a flat tire repair solution that is injected into the tire or by using a tire repair kit used to repair automobile tires, such as the kit shown below. You may not need to remove the tire from the Pukka to repair the flat tire.

Locate the puncture and remove the object that caused the puncture. This can be done by submerging the tire in water, or by wiping a wet cloth over the tire and looking for air bubbles. You may need to partially inflate the tire to locate the puncture.

Lubricate the auger by inserting the tip of the auger in the lubricant.

Clean the puncture by inserting the auger in and out of the hole. Be careful to insert the auger in the hole to avoid creating a new puncture.

Remove a plug and insert it into the eye of the tool until the plug is centered in the tool.

Insert the tool into the hole until about 1/2 inch of the two plug ends remain outside the tire. Quickly remove the tool to release the plug.

The part of the plug that is outside the tire will wear with time, or it may be trimmed. Leave enough of the plug avoid it being pushed into the tire and opening the puncture. Fill the tire to the indicated air pressure.
