Inflating The Tyre - Ford Transit Owner's Manual

WARNINGS
Never leave the tyre repair kit
unattended while in use.
CAUTION
Do not keep the compressor operating
for more than 10 minutes.
Note: Use the tyre repair kit only for the
vehicle with which it was supplied.
• Park your vehicle at the roadside so
that you do not obstruct the flow of
traffic and so that you are able to use
the kit without being in danger.
• Apply the parking brake, even if you
have parked on a level road, to make
sure that the vehicle will not move.
• Do not attempt to remove foreign
objects like nails or screws penetrating
the tyre.
• Leave the engine running while the kit
is in use, but not if the vehicle is in an
enclosed or poorly ventilated area (for
example, inside a building). In these
circumstances, switch the compressor
on with the engine turned off.
• Replace the sealant bottle with a new
one before the expiry date (see top of
bottle) is reached.
• Inform all other users of the vehicle
that the tyre has been temporarily
sealed with the tyre repair kit and make
them aware of the special driving
conditions to be observed.
