you should start the engine unless you are
inflating the tire in an enclosed space.
Press on/off switch ; on the tire inflation
X
compressor to I.
The tire inflation compressor is switched
on. The tire is inflated.
i
First, TIREFIT is pumped into the tire. The
pressure can briefly rise to approximately
500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tire inflation com-
pressor during this phase.
Let the tire inflation compressor run for a
X
maximum of ten minutes. The tire should
then have attained a pressure of at least
180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi).
Switch the tire inflation compressor off
briefly to read the correct value from pres-
sure gauge B.
! Do not operate the tire inflation compres-
sor for longer than ten minutes at a time
without a break. It may otherwise overheat.
The tire inflation compressor can be oper-
ated again once it has cooled down.
Tire pressure of at least 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi) is not reached
If, after five minutes, a pressure of 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi) has not been achieved:
Switch off the tire inflation compressor,
X
remove it and drive the vehicle approx-
imately 30 ft (10 m) forward or back.
This distributes the TIREFIT more evenly.
Leave tire sealant bottle : attached to the
X
flange.
Pump up the tire again.

G WARNING
If the required tire pressure is not reached
after the specified time, the tire is too badly
damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair the
tire in this instance. Damaged tires and a tire
pressure that is too low can significantly
impair the vehicle's braking and driving char-
acteristics. There is a risk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop.
Tire pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/
26 psi) is reached
WARNING
G
A tire temporarily sealed with tire sealant
impairs the driving characteristics and is not
suitable for higher speeds. There is a risk of
accident.
You should therefore adapt your driving style
accordingly and drive carefully. Do not exceed
the specified maximum speed with a tire that
has been repaired using tire sealant.
If the tire pressure is at least 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi):
Press on/off switch ; on the tire inflation
X
compressor to 0.
The tire inflation compressor is switched
off.
Remove connector ? from the 12 V
X
socket.
Remove filler hose E from tire valve G
X
and re-install the dust protection cap.
Screw the valve cap onto the valve again.
Leave tire sealant bottle : attached to
flange F.
