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 the vehicle will
not move.
Do not attempt to remove foreign
objects like nails or screws
penetrating the tyre.
Leave the engine running while
the kit is in use, but not if the
vehicle is in an enclosed or poorly
ventilated area (for example,
inside a building). In these
circumstances, switch the
compressor on with the engine
turned off.
Replace the sealant bottle with a
new one before the expiry date
(see top of bottle) is reached.
Inform all other users of the
vehicle that the tyre has been
temporarily sealed with the tyre
repair kit and make them aware
of the special driving conditions to
be observed.

Inflating the tyre

WARNINGS
Check the sidewall of the tyre
prior to inflation. If there are any
cracks, bumps or similar damage, do
not attempt to inflate the tyre.

WARNINGS
Do not stand directly beside the
tyre while the compressor is
pumping.
Watch the sidewall of the tyre.
If any cracks, bumps or similar
damage appear, turn off the
compressor and let the air out by
means of the pressure relief valve B.
Do not continue driving with this tyre.
The sealant contains natural
rubber latex. Avoid contact with
skin and clothing. If this happens,
rinse the affected areas immediately
with plenty of water and contact your
doctor.
If the tyre inflation pressure does
not reach 1.8 bar (26 psi) within
seven minutes, the tyre may have
suffered excessive damage, making
a temporary repair impossible. In this
case, do not continue driving with this
tyre.
CAUTION
Screwing the bottle onto the
bottle holder will pierce the seal
of the bottle. Do not unscrew the
bottle from the holder as the sealant
will escape.
