.
●
Keep the air compressor running until it rea-
ches 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 indicated pressure,
unscrew the tyre inflater tube from the valve.
●
Move the vehicle 10m so that the sealant is
distributed throughout the tyre.
●
Screw the compressor tyre inflator into the
valve.
●
Repeat the inflation process.
●
If it still does not come up to pressure, the
tyre is too badly damaged. Stop and seek as-
sistance from authorised personnel.
●
Disconnect the air compressor. Unscrew the
tyre inflation 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.251

or hot air compressor on flammable material.
●

vice.
●
If it is not possible to inflate 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.
