INFLATING PROCEDURE

1) Place the wheel in the position illus-
trated in the figure (A-fig. 13) for the op-
eration with the valve, then engage the
handbrake.
2) Screw the filling pipe (B-fig. 14) to
the bottle (C).
3) Unscrew the tyre valve plug, remove
the element inside the valve by using the
appropriate tool (D-fig. 15); be careful
not to place it on the sand or on a dirty sur-
face .

press it so that the whole sealer can get in-
to the tyre.

5) Screw again the element inside the
valve with the tool (D-fig. 17).
6) Use the appropriate lever (E-fig. 18)
to insert and clamp the air compressor pipe
(F) to the tyre valve.
7) Start the engine, insert the plug (G-
fig. 19) in the lighter (or socket 12V) and
inflate the tyre according to the right pres-
sure value (see "Cold inflation pressures" in
the "Technical specification" chapter). You
are advised to check the tyre pressure val-
ue on the pressure gauge (H-fig. 18) with
the compressor off, in order to have a more
accurate reading.
