not suitable for higher speeds. There is a
risk of accident.
You should therefore adapt your driving
style accordingly and drive carefully. Do
not exceed the specified maximum speed
with a tyre that has been repaired using
tyre sealant.
The maximum permissible speed for a tyre
sealed with tyre sealant is 80 km/h.
!
After use, excess tyre sealant may run out
of the filler hose. This could cause stains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the plas-
tic bag that contained the TIREFIT kit.
H
Environmental note
Have the used tyre sealant bottle disposed
of professionally, e.g. at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Comply with the manufacturer's safety
instructions on the sticker on the tyre infla-
tion compressor.

The tyre sealant is pumped into the tyre.
The pressure may briefly rise to approx-
imately 600 kPa (6.0 bar/86 psi) in pressure
gauge C.
i
Preventing damage to the tyre inflation
compressor
Do not switch off the tyre inflation com-
pressor during this phase.
X
Let the tyre inflation compressor run for a
maximum of 15 minutes, then allow it to
cool down.
The tyre pressure must be at least 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi) in pressure gauge C.
Allow any leaking tyre sealant to dry. It can
then be removed like a layer of film.
Have any clothing stained with tyre sealant
cleaned as soon as possible with perchloro-
ethylene.
