rinse your mouth out thoroughly and drink
plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting,
and seek medical attention immediately.
Immediately change out of clothing which
R
has come into contact with tyre sealant.
If an allergic reaction occurs, seek medical
R

compressor to I.
The tyre inflation compressor is switched
on. The tyre is inflated.
i
First, tyre sealant is pumped into the tyre.
The pressure can briefly rise to approx-
imately 500 kPa (5 bar, 73 psi).
Do not switch off the tyre inflation com-
pressor during this phase.
Let the tyre inflation compressor run for
X
five minutes. The tyre should then have
attained a pressure of at least 180 kPa
(1.8 bar, 26 psi).
! Do not operate the tyre inflation com-
pressor for longer than eight minutes at a
time without a break. It may otherwise
overheat.
The tyre inflation compressor can be oper-
ated again once it has cooled down.
If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26 psi) has
been achieved after five minutes, see
( page 343).

If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26 psi) has
