3. Position the sealant bottle on the bracket. Make sure that the bottle
does not fall. 4. Unscrew
valve cap from defective
tyre.
5. Screw tyre inflation hose to valve. 6. Screw air hose onto compressor
connection.
7.
Open cover of electricalconnection from the left and pull
out the plug. 8. Open the rear power outlet and
insert plug of tyre repair kit.
To avoid discharging the battery,
we recommend running the
engine. 9.
Press < button on the
compressor.
The tyre is filled with
sealant.
10. The compressor pressure gauge briefly indicates up to 6 bar whilst
the sealant bottle is emptying
(approx. 30 seconds). Then the
pressure starts to drop.
11. All of the sealant is pumped into the tyre. Then the tyre is inflated.

12. The prescribed tyre pressure should be obtained within 10
minutes. Tyre pressure 3 220.
When the correct pressure is
obtained, switch off the
compressor by pressing the <
button again.
If the prescribed tyre pressure is
not obtained within 10 minutes,
remove the tyre repair kit. Move
the vehicle one tyre rotation.
Reattach the tyre repair kit and
continue the filling procedure for
10 minutes. If the prescribed tyre
pressure is still not obtained, the
tyre is too badly damaged. Seek
the assistance of a workshop.
Release excess tyre pressure
using the ] button.
Do
not run the compressor longer
than 10 minutes.
13. Disconnect plug from power outlet, place in plug compartment
and remove tyre repair kit. Push
catch on bracket to remove
sealant bottle from bracket. Screw
tyre inflation hose to free
connection of sealant bottle. This prevents sealant from escaping.
Stow tyre repair kit in load
compartment.
14.
Remove any excess sealant using a cloth.
15. Take the label indicating maximum permitted speed from
the sealant bottle and affix in the
driver's field of view.
16. Continue driving immediately so that sealant is evenly distributed
in the tyre. After driving approx. 10
km (but no more than 10 minutes),
stop and check tyre pressure.
Screw compressor air hose
directly onto tyre valve and
compressor when doing this.
If tyre pressure is more than 1.3
bar, set it to the correct value.
Repeat the procedure until there
is no more loss of pressure.
If the tyre pressure has fallen
below 1.3 bar, the vehicle must
not be used. Seek the assistance
of a workshop.
17. Stow away tyre repair kit in load compartment. Note
The driving comfort of the repaired
tyre is severely affected, therefore
have this tyre replaced.
If unusual noise is heard or the
compressor becomes hot, turn
compressor off for at least 30
minutes.
The built-in safety valve opens at
a pressure of 7 bar.
The sealant can only be stored for
approximately 4 years, after which
time its sealing capability is not
longer guaranteed. Pay attention to
storage information on sealant
bottle.
Replace the used sealant bottle.
Dispose of the bottle as prescribed
by applicable laws.
The
compressor and sealant can be
used from approx. -30 °C.
The adapters supplied can be used
to pump up other items e.g.
footballs, air mattresses, inflatable
dinghies etc.
