Filling the sealant
Please keep to the following sequence to
avoid the sealant escaping with high pres-
sure.<
1. Shake the sealant cylinder.
2. Completely remove the connecting hose 6
from the compressor housing and screw
onto the connector of the sealant cylinder.
Make sure the connecting hose is not
kinked.
3. Insert the sealant cylinder into the housing
of the compressor so that it is in upright
position.
4. Unscrew the dust cap from the valve of the
faulty wheel and screw the filler tube 2 of
the sealant cylinder onto the valve.
5. Make sure the compressor is turned off.
6. Insert the plug 5 into the cigarette lighter
socket/socket on the inside of the vehicle,
page 89.
7. When the engine is running:
Switch on the compressor and let it run for
approx. 3 to 8 minutes to fill the sealant and
reach a tyre inflation pressure of approx.
1.8 bar/26.1 psi.
When filling the sealant, the inflation
pressure can briefly rise to approx.
5 bar, approx. 72.5 psi. Do not switch off the
compressor at this stage.<
