Applies to vehicles: with tyre repair kit
The following sections describe the procedures for repairing a tyre.
Setting up the tyre repair kit
Open the flap -2- on the compressor Fig. 1.
Pull the connector -4- and the compressor hose -5- including the pressure gauge out of the housing.
Screw the compressor hose -5- onto the flange -6- of the tyre sealant can -1-.
Place the tyre sealant can (flange facing down) into the opening -3- on the flap of the compressor.
Unscrew the dust cap from the valve of the damaged tyre.
Screw the filler hose -10- onto the valve -7- Fig. 2.
Insert the connector -4- Fig. 1 into the cigarette lighter socket.
Switch on the ignition.
Inflating the tyre
Move the switch -8- Fig. 2 on the compressor 1) to position I. After 5 minutes the tyre pressure should be at least 1.8 bar.
Switch off the compressor (move the switch to position 0). If the necessary tyre pressure of at least 1.8 bar is not reached please follow the instructions given in the section Re-inflating the tyre.
Re-inflating the tyre
Remove the filler hose from the valve and pull the connector out of the socket.
Slowly move the vehicle forwards and backwards about 10 metres. This enables the sealant to be distributed more evenly.
Remove the empty tyre sealant can and screw the compressor hose -5- Fig. 1 directly onto the valve.
Insert the connector -4- into the cigarette lighter socket.
Switch on the ignition.
Move the switch -8- Fig. 2 on the compressor to position I. After 5 minutes the tyre pressure should be at least 1.8 bar.
Switch off the compressor (move the switch to position 0). If the necessary tyre pressure of at least 1.8 bar is not reached this means that the tyre cannot be repaired using the tyre sealant. You should obtain professional assistance.
Dismantling the tyre repair kit
Remove the filler hose from the valve and pull the connector out of the socket.
Screw the dust cap onto the valve.
Put the empty tyre sealant can back into the original packaging to prevent any tyre sealant from getting into the car.
Then drive away immediately so that the tyre sealant can spread evenly in the tyre.
Final checks
After about 10 minutes stop to check the tyre pressure.
If tyre pressure is less than 1.3 bar, the tyre is too badly damaged. Do not drive on. You should obtain professional assistance.
WARNING!
- Please observe the manufacturers' safety notes on the stickers on the compressor and the tyre sealant can.
- If it was not possible to build up a tyre pressure of 1.8 bar within 5 minutes this means that the tyre is too badly damaged. Do not drive on.
- Seek professional assistance if the repair of a tyre puncture is not possible with the sealing compound.
- If tyre pressure is less than 1.3 bar after driving about 10 minutes, the tyre is too badly damaged. Do not drive on. You should obtain professional assistance.
Note
- Do not use the compressor for longer than 8 minutes at a time, as it could overheat. When the compressor has cooled down, you can use it again.
- If tyre sealant should leak out, leave it to dry and then pull it off like foil.
- After carrying out a tyre repair remember to buy a new tyre sealant can at a qualified workshop. This will ensure that the tyre repair kit is operative again.
- Please observe the relevant regulations.
1) The compressor should never be allowed to run for longer than 8 minutes.
