In the event of a tire puncture, proceed as
follows.
• Open the box and take out the
compressor. Remove the electrical cable
with the connector F for the power
socket.
• Insert the connector F into the power
socket, on the center console.
�
• Unscrew the valve cap of the punctured
tire and screw the union G for the
transparent tube onto the valve.
• Remove the union
G
and screw the cap
back onto the valve.
We recommend that you check the tire pressure
on the gauge when the compressor is off, in
order to have a more accurate reading.
Do not activate the compressor for more than
20 minutes: risk of overheating!
The compressor has been designed for
infl ation of one tire only; do not use it to
infl ate mattresses, rubber boats etc.
The kit can also be used only to infl ate a tire
using the lever terminal H .
• Remove the terminal H from the union J
on the cartridge and insert it in the wheel
valve.

K
and start the
compressor.
• Infl ate to the specifi ed pressure
(see page 16 ).
�
• Turn the ignition key to II so that the
socket is powered then activate the
compressor by pressing the switch D .
To infl ate/repair the tire successfully, the
lever terminal part H must be fi tted into the
relevant union J .

• Stop the compressor when the pressure
indicated on the pressure gauge C
