WARNINGS
Never leave the kit unattended while
in use.
Do not keep the compressor
operating for more than 10 minutes.
This could cause loss of vehicle
control or personal injury.
Note: You must only use the kit 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 your vehicle will not move.
• Do not attempt to remove foreign
objects like nails or screws penetrating
the tire.
• Leave the engine running while the kit
is in use, but not if your vehicle is in an
enclosed or poorly ventilated area (for
example inside a building). In these
circumstances, switch the compressor
on with the engine switched off.
• You must replace the sealant bottle
with a new one before the expiry date
(see top of bottle).
• Inform all other users of your vehicle
that the tire has been temporarily
sealed with the kit. Make them aware
of the special driving conditions that
must be observed.

WARNINGS
Check the sidewall of the tire prior to
inflation. If there are any cracks,
