13 To inject the sealant and inflate the tire, turn
the compressor switch on.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
● Keep back from the tire while it is being repaired, as there is a chance of it
bursting while the repair operation is being performed. If you notice any cracks
or deformation in the tire, turn off the compressor switch and stop the repair
operation immediately.
● Do not operate the compressor continuously for more than 40 minutes. The kit
may overheat if operated for a long period of time.
● Parts of the emergency tire puncture repair kit become hot during operation. Be
careful when handling it during and after operation.
● Do not touch the metal connecting parts of the bottle and compressor while
being used or immediately after, as they will be extremely hot.
14 Inflate the tire until the specified pressure is reached.
A
The sealant will be injected and the pressure will
spike to between 300 kPa (3.0 kgf/cm
2
or bar,
44 psi) and 400 kPa (4.0 kgf/cm
2
or bar, 58
psi), then gradually decrease.
B
The air pressure gauge will display the actual tire
inflation pressure about 1 to 5 minutes after the
switch is turned on.
● Turn the compressor switch off and then
check the tire inflation pressure. Being careful
not to over inflate, check and repeat the infla-
tion procedure until the specified tire inflation
pressure is reached.
● The tire can be inflated for about 5 to 20
minutes (depending on the outside temper-
ature). If the tire inflation pressure is still
lower than the specified point after inflation
for 25 minutes, the tire is too damaged to
be repaired. Turn the compressor switch off
