Applies to vehicles: with tyre repair kit
Important: The tyre repair kit must be at hand and ready for use
►Link.
Filling the tyre
Shake the tyre sealant can well.
Screw the enclosed filling hose onto the sealant can as far as it will go. This will automatically pierce the foil sealing the can.
Take the valve cap off the tyre valve and use the enclosed valve insert tool to unscrew the valve insert Fig. 1.
Place the valve insert onto a clean surface.
Remove the sealing plug from the filling hose and insert the hose into the tyre valve.
Hold the tyre sealant can upside down and fill the complete contents into the tyre.
Then disconnect the filling hose and screw the valve insert firmly back into the tyre valve.
Inflating the tyre
Screw the compressor hose (from the tyre repair kit) onto the tyre valve and plug the connector into an electrical socket in the vehicle.
Pump the tyre up to 2.0 to 2.5 bar and monitor the pressure shown on the pressure gauge.
If the tyre pressure remains lower than the value specified above, remove the hose and drive 10 metres forwards or backwards at a low speed so that the sealant can spread evenly in the tyre. Now pump the tyre up again WARNING!.
- Please observe the manufacturers' safety notes on the compressor and the instructions supplied with the tyre sealant can.
- If it was not possible to build up a tyre pressure of 2.0 bar within six 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.
Note
Do not use the compressor for longer than 6 minutes at a time, as it could overheat. When the compressor has cooled down, you can use it again.
