The flexible tyre filling hose and the air
●
compressor may heat up during the filling
process. Risk of injury!
Do not place the hot flexible tyre filling
●
hose or hot air compressor on top of flamma-
ble materials. Risk of fire!
If the tyre cannot be inflated to a minimum
●
pressure of 2.0 bar (29 psi/200 kPa), then
the tyre is too badly damaged. The sealing
product is unable to seal the tyre . Do not
continue driving and obtain professional as-
sistance.
CAUTION
Do not use the air compressor for longer than
8 minutes at a time. Risk of overheating! Be-
fore using the air compressor again, leave it
to cool down for several minutes.
