– Switch the compressor off.
– When an air pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar cannot be reached, un-
screw the flexible pipe 5
from the tyre valve.
– Drive the vehicle approx. 10 metres forwards or backwards, so
that the sealant can “spread evenly” in the tyre.
– Screw the flexible hose from the air compressor 5
back onto
the tyre valve and repeat the inflation process.
– If the pressure is still lower than specified, the tyre is too badly
damaged. The tyre cannot be repaired using the tyre sealant kit
⇒
.
– Switch the compressor off.
– Unscrew the flexible hose 5
from the tyre valve.
When a tyre pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar is reached then you can con-
tinue driving at a max. speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
Check the tyre pressure after 10 minutes of driving ⇒ page 205.
WARNING
● The flexible tyre filling hose and the air compressor may heat up dur-
ing the filling process. Risk of injury!
● Do not place the hot flexible tyre filling hose or hot air compressor on
top of flammable materials. Risk of fire!
● If the tyre cannot be inflated to a minimum pressure of 2.0 bar then
the tyre is too badly damaged. The sealing product is unable to seal the
tyre . Do not drive on and obtain professional assistance.
CAUTION
Do not use the air compressor for longer than 8 minutes at a time. Risk of
overheating! Before using the air compressor again, leave it to cool down
for several minutes.
Check after 10 minutes of driving
Check the tyre pressure after 10 minutes of driving!
If the tyre pressure is less than 1.3 bar:
– Do not drive on! The tyre cannot be sufficiently filled using
the tyre repair kit.
– See professional assistance.
If the tyre pressure is over 1.3 bar:
– Correct the tyre pressure again to the correct value (see inside
of the fuel tank flap).
– Carefully resume your journey to the nearest specialised work-
shop at a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
