Switch on the tire inflation compressor using
#
On/Off switch 3.
The tire is inflated. First, tire sealant is pum-
ped into the tire. The pressure may briefly rise
to approximately 500 kPa (5.0 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tire inflation compressor
during this phase!
Let the tire inflation compressor run for a max-
#
imum of ten minutes.
The tire should then have attained a tire pres-
sure of at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi).
If tire sealant leaks out, make sure you clean the
affected area as quickly as possible. It is prefera-
ble to use clean water.
If you get tire sealant on your clothing, have it
cleaned as soon as possible with perchloroethy-
lene.
If, after ten minutes, a tire pressure of 200 kPa
(2.0 bar/29 psi) has not been attained:
Switch off the tire inflation compressor.
#
Unscrew the filling hose from the valve of the
#
defective tire.
Please note that tire sealant may leak out when
unscrewing the filling hose.
Drive forwards or in reverse very slowly for
#
approximately 33 ft (10 m).
Pump up the tire again.
#
After a maximum of ten minutes the tire pres-
sure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 psi).
& WARNING Risk of accident due to the
specified tire pressure not being achieved
If the specified tire pressure is not achieved
after the specified time, the tire is too badly
damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair the
tire in this instance.
The braking characteristics as well as the driv-
ing characteristics may be greatly impaired.
Do not continue driving.
#
Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
#
If, after ten minutes, a tire pressure of 200 kPa
(2.0 bar/29 psi) has been attained:
Switch off the tire inflation compressor.
#
Unscrew the filling hose from the valve of the
#
defective tire.
& WARNING Risk of accident from driving
with sealed tires
A tire temporarily sealed with tire sealant
impairs the handling characteristics and is not
suitable for higher speeds.
Adapt your driving style accordingly and
#
drive carefully.
Do not exceed the maximum speed limit
#
with a tire that has been repaired using
tire sealant.
Observe the maximum permissible speed of
#
50 mph (80 km/h) for a tire sealed with tire
sealant.
* NOTE Staining caused by leaking tire seal-
ant
After use, excess tire sealant may leak out
from the filling hose.
