Sealing the tire with the tire sealant is only an emergency solution so you can drive to the nearest workshop. Even if the tire is air-tight, it may only be used for short journeys in an emergency.
The tire sealant set comprises: – a filler bottle– a filler hose– a valve turner– a spare valve insert– a sticker with the maximum permitted speed– a compressor– operating instructions
Always observe the following points:fUse the tire sealant only in the case of cuts or punctures no larger than 0.15 in. (4 mm).fNever use the tire sealant if the rim is damaged.
The sealant is highly flammable and harmful to health.fFire, naked flame and smoking are prohibited when handling tire sealant.fAvoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing due to caustic chemical properties of the tire sealant.fKeep tire sealant away from children.fDo not inhale vapors, due to the consequent harm to personal health resulting in serious personal injury or death.
