Safety notes
DANGER
A blocked exhaust pipe or inadequate ventila‐
tion can allow harmful exhaust fumes to pene‐
trate the vehicle. The exhaust fumes contain
pollutants which are colourless and odourless.
In enclosed spaces, the exhaust fumes can also
build up outside the vehicle. There is a danger
of fatal injury. Keep the exhaust pipe clear and
ensure sufficient ventilation.
NOTE
The compressor can overheat if operated for
too long. There is a danger of damage to prop‐
erty. Do not let the compressor run for longer
than 10 minutes.
Filling
1. Shake the sealant container.
