The tire inflation compressor is switched
on. The tire is inflated.
First, tire sealant is pumped into the tire.
The pressure can briefly rise to approx-
imately 500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tire inflation com-
pressor during this phase.
Allow the tire inflation compressor to run
X
for five minutes. The tire should then have
attained a pressure of at least 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi).
If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has
been attained after five minutes, see "Tire
pressure reached" (
If a tire pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)
has not been attained after five minutes, see
