Sealing and inating a tyre
Sealing the tyre
●
Unscrew the tyre valve cap and insert. Use
the device ›››Fig.241

and
screw the open end of the tube into the tyre
valve.

onto the tyre valve.
Inating the tyre
●
Screw the tyre ination tube of the compres-
sor ›››Fig.241

on the tyre valve.
●
Check that the air evacuation screw is
closed ›››Fig.241

●
Switch on the air compressor with ON/OFF
switch ›››Fig.241

.
●
Keep the air compressor running until it
reaches a pressure of 2.0-2.5 bar (29-36psi/
200-250kPa). A maximum of 8 minutes.
●
Disconnect the air compressor.
●
If it does not reach the pressure indicated,
unscrew the tyre inator tube from the valve.
●
Move the vehicle 10m so that the sealant is
distributed throughout the tyre.
●
Screw the compressor tyre inator into the
valve.
●
Repeat the ination process.
●
If it still does not come up to pressure, the
tyre is too badly damaged. Stop and seek assis-
tance from authorised personnel.
●
Disconnect the air compressor. Unscrew the
tyre ination tube from the tyre valve.
●
When the tyre pressure is between 2.5 and
2.0 bars, continue driving without exceeding
80km/h (50 mph).
●
Attach the sticker ›››Fig.241

to the in-
strument panel display, within the driver's eld
of vision.
●
Check the pressure again after 10minutes
›››page380.
WARNING
When inating the wheel, the air compressor
and the inator tube may become hot.
●
Protect hands and skin from hot parts.
●
Do not place the hot exible inator tube
or hot air compressor on ammable material.
●
Allow them to cool before storing the de-
vice.
●
If it is not possible to inate the tyre to at
least 2.0bars (29psi / 200kPa), the tyre is
too badly damaged. The sealant is not in a
good condition to seal the tyre. Do not con-
tinue driving. Seek specialist assistance.
