First, the sealing is pumped into the tire. The
pressure may briefly rise to up to 73 psi (5 bar).
This is normal and not an indication of a malfunc-
tion. Do not switch off the electric air pump.
Let the electric air pump inflate the tire
for approximately 5 minutes.
The pressure gauge must display at
least 26 psi (1.8 bar). The air hose can
become hot during inflation.
Please exercise appropriate caution.
!
Do not operate the electric air pump longer
than 6 minutes without interruption. Otherwise it
may overheat.
You may operate the air pump again after it has
cooled off.
If the tire inflation pressure of at least
26 psi (1.8 bar) is not attained, turn off
the electric air pump by pressing 0 on
electric air pump switch 3
( page 403).

from flange 6 of TIREFIT container 1
( page 403).
