WARNING
When inflating the wheel, the air compres-
sor and the inflator tube may become hot.
Protect hands and skin from hot parts.

Do not place the hot flexible inflator tube
●
or hot air compressor on flammable mate-
rial.
Allow them to cool before storing the de-
●
vice.
If it is not possible to inflate the tyre to at
●
least 2.0 bars (29 psi / 200 kPa), the tyre is
too badly damaged. The sealant is not in a
good condition to seal the tyre. Do not con-
tinue driving. Seek specialist assistance.
CAUTION

mum of 8 operational minutes to avoid
overheating! Before switching on the air
compressor again, let it cool for several mi-
