Press on and off switch
=
on the tyre inflation
compressor to I.
The tyre inflation compressor is switched on.
The tyre is inflated.
i
First, tyre sealant is pumped into the tyre.
The pressure may briefly rise to approx-
imately 500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tyre inflation com-
pressor during this phase.
X
Let the tyre inflation compressor run for a
maximum of five minutes. The tyre should
then have attained a pressure of at least
180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi).
If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has
been attained after five minutes, see "Tyre pres-
sure reached" (
Y
page 350).
If a tyre pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has
not been attained after five minutes, see "Tyre
pressure not reached" (
Y
page 350).
If tyre sealant leaks out, make sure you clean the
affected area as quickly as possible. It is pref-
erable to use clear water.
If you get tyre sealant on your clothing, have it
cleaned as soon as possible with perchloroethy-
lene.
