2. Uncoil the compressor power cable
and the inflation hose.
3. Unscrew the orange cap from the
sealant bottle receiver and the sealant
bottle cap.
4. Screw the sealant bottle into the
receiver (clockwise) until tight.
Note: Screwing the bottle onto the
receiver will pierce the bottle's seal.
Once the receiver has been fitted, a
ratchet prevents it from being
removed.
5. Remove the valve cap from the
damaged tyre.
6. Remove the protective cap from the
inflation hose and connect the inflation
hose to the tyre valve. Make sure that
the hose is screwed on firmly.
7. Make sure that the compressor switch
is in the Off (O) position. Insert the
power cable connector into an auxiliary
power socket. See 90, AUXILIARY
POWER SOCKETS. Unless the vehicle
is in an enclosed area, start the engine.
8. Switch on the compressor switch to
the (I) position.
9. Inflate the tyre to a minimum of 1.8
bar (26 psi, 180 kPa) and a maximum
of 3.5 bar (51 psi, 350 kPa).
Note: When pumping the sealant
through the tyre valve, sealant may
leak from the puncture location during
the sealing process and the pressure
may rise up to 6 bar (87 psi, 600 kPa).
The pressure will drop again after
approximately 30 seconds.
Remove any excess sealant
immediately. Failure to do this may
result in a surface residue that will
be difficult to remove.
10.During inflation, switch the compressor
off briefly to check the tyre pressure,
using the gauge mounted on the
compressor.
Note: It should not take longer than
10 minutes to inflate the tyre. If, after
10 minutes, the tyre has not yet
reached the minimum pressure, the
tyre should not be used.
11.Once the tyre has been inflated to the
required pressure, switch off the
compressor. If desired, the engine may
be switched off after the compressor
has been switched off.
12.Remove the power connector from the
auxiliary power socket.
13.Remove the inflation hose from the
tyre valve, by unscrewing it as quickly
as possible (counter-clockwise).
14.Replace the inflation hose protective
cap and the tyre valve cap.
15.Make sure that the tyre repair kit
(including the bottle and receiver caps)
is placed securely in the vehicle. You
will need to use the kit to check the
tyre pressure after approximately 3 km,
so make sure they are easily
accessible.
16.Immediately drive the vehicle for
approximately 3 km, to allow the
sealant to coat the inner surface of the
tyre and form a seal at the puncture.
