Using the tire repair kit
WARNINGS
Compressed air can act as an
explosive or propellant.
Never leave the tire repair kit
unattended while in use.
CAUTION
Do not keep the compressor operating
for more than 10 minutes.
Note: Use the tire repair kit only for the
vehicle with which it was supplied.
• 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 tire.
• 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 tire has been temporarily
sealed with the tire repair kit and make
them aware of the special driving
conditions to be observed.
Inflating the tire
WARNINGS
Check the sidewall of the tire prior to
inflation. If there are any cracks,
bumps or similar damage, do not
attempt to inflate the tire.
Do not stand directly beside the tire
while the compressor is pumping.
Watch the sidewall of the tire. 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 tire.
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 tire inflation pressure does not
reach 1.8 bar (26 psi) within seven
minutes, the tire may have suffered
excessive damage, making a temporary
repair impossible. In this case, do not
continue driving with this tire.
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.
