pressor during this phase.
X
Let the tire inflation compressor run for a
maximum of 15 minutes, then allow it to
cool down.

Allow any leaked tire sealant to dry. It can
then be removed like a layer of film.
Have any clothing stained with tire sealant
cleaned as soon as possible with perchloro-
ethylene.
Further procedure if the pressure of the
sealed tire is below 180 kPa
