11. Set the rocker switch on the compressor to position I. The tyre
is filled with sealant.
12. The compressor pressure gauge briefly indicates up to six bar.
Then the pressure starts to drop.
13. All of the sealant is pumped into the tyre. Then the tyre is inflated.
14. The prescribed tyre pressureshould be obtained within
ten minutes. Tyre pressure
3 247 . When the correct pressure
is obtained, turn off the
compressor by setting rocker
switch to position O.
If the prescribed tyre pressure is
not obtained within ten minutes,
remove the tyre repair kit. Move
the vehicle one tyre rotation
(approx. two metres). Reattach
the tyre repair kit and continue the
filling procedure for ten minutes. If the prescribed tyre pressure is still
not obtained, the tyre is too badly
damaged. Seek the assistance of
