The kit cannot be used to repair damage to the tyre
sidewall. Do not use the fast repair kit on tyres
damaged by the vehicle running with a flat tyre.
If the wheel rim is damaged (the channel is so de-
formed as to cause an air leakage) it cannot be re-
paired. Do not remove the foreign body (screw
or nail) from the tyre.
Do not operate the compressor for longer than 20
minutes consecutively. Risk of overheating. The kit
is not suitable for permanent repairs. The tyres
may only be repaired temporarily.
