when the air compressor is switched
on. After the sealant is injected

, 3 bar, 43.5
psi) temporarily to inject the sealant
through the valve. Normally, the ination
pressure decreases gradually and it
reaches the actual ination pressure after
about 30 seconds.
WARNING

, 3 bar, 43.5 psi):
Using the air compressor at an
ination pressure above 300 kPa (3.1
