Do not switch off the tire inflation com-
pressor during this phase.
X Let the tire inflation compressor run for a
maximum of ten minutes. The tire should
then have attained a pressure of at least
200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi).
If a tire pressure of 200 kPa (2.0 ba r/29 psi)
is achieved after a maximum of ten minutes,
see (Y page 296).
If a tire pressure of 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) is not achieved after a maximum of ten
minutes, see (Y page 295).

can then be removed like a layer of film.
If your clothes are soiled with tire sealant,
have them cleaned with perchloroethylene at a dry cleaner as soon as possible.
