#
Push the plug of hose 5 into flange 6 of
tire sealant bottle 1 until the plug engages.
#
Place tire sealant bottle 1 head downwards
into recess 2 of the tire inflation compres‐
sor.
#
Remove the valve cap from valve 7 on the
defective tire.
#
Screw filling hose 8 onto valve 7 .
#
Insert plug 4 into a 12 V socket in your
vehicle.
#
Switch on the ignition.
#
Press on and off switch 3 on the tire infla‐
tion compressor.
The tire inflation compressor is switched on.
The tire is inflated. First, tire sealant is pum‐
ped into the tire. The pressure may briefly
rise to approximately 500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tire inflation compres‐
sor during this phase.
#
Let the tire inflation compressor run for a
maximum of ten minutes.
The tire should then have attained a tire
pressure of at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 psi).
If tire sealant leaks out, make sure you clean the
affected areas as quickly as possible. It is pref‐
erable to use clean water.
If you get tire sealant on your clothing, have it
cleaned as soon as possible with perchloroethy‐
lene.
If, after ten minutes, a tire pressure of
200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has not been ach‐
ieved:
#
Switch off the tire inflation compressor.
#
Unscrew the filling hose from the valve of the
defective tire.
Please note that tire sealant may leak out when
unscrewing the filling hose.
#
Very slowly drive the vehicle forwards or
reverse approximately 33 ft (10 m).
#
Pump up the tire again.
After a maximum of ten minutes the tire
pressure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 psi).

WARNING Risk of accident due to the
specified tire pressure not being reached
If the specified tire pressure is not reached
after the specified time, the tire is too badly
damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair the
tire in this instance.
