– Firmly screw inflation hose onto the tyre inflator bottle in a clockwise direction . The film on the cap is pierced automatically.
– Remove the plug from the inflation hose and plug the open end fully into the tyre valve.
– Hold the bottle with the floor facing up wards and fill the whole sealing agent in
the tyre inflator bottle into the tyres.
– Remove the empty tyre inflator bottle from the valve.
– Screw the valve core back into the tyre valve using the valve remover .Pumping up the tyres– Screw the tyre inflation hose page 6, fig. 5 of the air compressor firmly onto

– Allow the air compressor to run until reac hing a pressure of 2.0 - 2.5 bars for a
maximum of 8 minutes !
– Switch off the air compressor. – If you cannot reach an air pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar, unscrew the tyre inflation hose
from the tyre valve.
– Drive the vehicle 10 metres forwards or backwards to allow the sealing agent to
distribute in the tyre.
– Screw the tyre inflation hose of the air compressor firmly back onto the tyre
valve and repeat the inflation procedure.
– If you cannot reach the required tyre inflation pressure here either, this means the tyre has sustained too much damage. You cannot seal with tyre with the break-
down kit .
– Switch off the air compressor.
– Remove the tyre inflation hose from the tyre valve.
If you reached a tyre inflation pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar, resume driving at a maximum

risk of injury!
•
Do not place hot tyre inflation hoses or hot air compressors on flammable
materials - risk of fire!
•
If you cannot inflate the tyre to at least 2.0 bar, this means the damage
sustained was too serious. The sealing agen t cannot be used to seal the tyre. Do
