WARNING
Never stand next to the tyre when the com-
pressor is running. If cracks or unevenness
arise then the compressor must be
switched off immediately. The journey
should not be continued. Contacting an
authorised tyre centre is recommended.
NOTE
When the compressor starts, the pressure
can increase up to 6 bar but the pressure
drops after approximately 30 seconds.

IMPORTANT
Risk of overheating. The compressor must
not run for more than 10 minutes.

WARNING
If the pressure is below 1.8 bar then the hole
