Emergency puncture repair
WARNING
Never stand next to the tyre when the com-
pressor is running. If cracks or unevenness
arise then the compressor must be
switched off immediately. The journey
should not be continued. Contact an au-
thorised tyre centre.
NOTE
When the compressor starts the pressure
can increase up to 6 bar but the pressure
drops after approximately 30 seconds.
10. Inflate the tyre for 7 minutes.
IMPORTANT
Risk of overheating. The compressor must
not run for more than 10 minutes.
11. Switch off the compressor to check the
pressure on the pressure gauge. Mini-
mum pressure is 1.8 bar and maximum
is 3.5 bar.
WARNING
If the pressure is below 1.8 bar then the
hole in the tyre is too big. The journey
should not be continued. Contact an au-
thorised tyre centre.
