WARNING
The tyre sealant is harmful and causes
irritation. It must not come into contact
with your skin, eyes or clothing or be swal-
lowed. Do not inhale TIREFIT fumes. Keep
tyre sealant away from children. There is a
risk of injury.
If you come into contact with the tyre seal-
ant, observe the following:
Rinse off the tyre sealant from your skin
R
immediately with water.
If the tyre sealant comes into contact
R
with your eyes, immediately rinse them
thoroughly with clean water.
If tyre sealant is swallowed, immedi-
R
ately rinse your mouth out thoroughly
and drink plenty of water. Do not induce
vomiting, and seek medical attention
immediately.
Immediately change out of clothing
R
which has come into contact with tyre
sealant.
If an allergic reaction occurs, seek med-
R
ical attention immediately.
G
WARNING
A tyre temporarily sealed with tyre 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 tyre that has been repaired using
tyre sealant.
The maximum permissible speed for a tyre
sealed with tyre sealant is 80 km/h.
! After use, excess tyre sealant may run out
of the filler hose. This could cause stains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the plas-
tic bag that contained the TIREFIT kit.
