13. Turn ON the compressor switch (Q) and inflate the tyre to
the specified pressure. Check and adjust the tyre pressure
with reference to the air pressure gauge (R) on the com-
pressor (I). If you overinflate the tyre, release air by press-
ing the pressure release switch (S) on the compressor or
by loosening the hose’s end fitting. (Refer to “Tyre infla-
tion pressures” on page 8-18.)
If the tyre pressure does not rise adequately, remove the
compressor from the tyre and carefully drive the vehicle
10 metres forwards or backwards to distribute the tyre
sealant around the tyre’s interior, then try inflating the tyre
again.
If there is a gap between the tyre and wheel because the
tyre has moved inward from the wheel rim, press the
periphery of the tyre towards the wheel to close the gap
before running the compressor. (With no gaps, the tyre
pressure will rise.)
CAUTION
!
●
Do not keep the compressor running continuously
for more than 6 minutes. Doing so could result in a
malfunction.
