to
switch on the air compressor.
— Run the air compressor until the tyre pres-
sure has reached 2.0 – 2.5 bar (29 –
36 psi / 200 – 250 kPa). Maximum run-
ning time: 8 minutes → , → .
— Switch off the air compressor.
— If a pressure level of 2.0 – 2.5 bar (29 –
36 psi/200 – 250 kPa) cannot be achieved,
unscrew the tyre filler hose from the tyre
valve.
— Drive (or reverse) the vehicle approximate-
ly 10 metres so that the sealing compound
is evenly distributed in the tyre.
— Screw the compressor’s tyre filler hose
firmly back onto the tyre valve and inflate
the tyre again.
— If the required pressure still cannot be
reached, the tyre is too badly damaged.
The tyre cannot be sealed with the break-
down set. Do not drive on. Seek expert as-
sistance → .
— Disconnect the air compressor and un-
screw the tyre filler hose from the tyre
valve.
— Drive the vehicle no faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph) if a tyre pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar
(29 – 36 psi / 200 – 250 kPa) has been
reached.
Check after driving for 10 minutes
— Park the vehicle on a firm and level surface
at the next safe opportunity, e.g. a car
park.
— Reconnect the tyre filler hose → Fig. 198

and read the tyre pressure on the tyre
pressure display → Fig. 198

— 1.3 bar (19 psi/130 kPa) and lower:
— Do not drive on! The tyre cannot be
sealed adequately with the breakdown
set.
— Seek expert assistance → .
— 1.4 bar (20 psi/140 kPa) and higher:
— Adjust the tyre pressure back to the
correct value.
— Resume your journey to the nearest
qualified workshop. Do not exceed
a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
— The damaged tyre should be replaced at
the qualified workshop.
WARNING
The tyre filler hose and the air compressor
can become hot during inflation.
·
Protect your hands and skin from the
hot components.
·
Do not place the hot tyre filler hose or
the hot air compressor on any inflamma-
ble materials.
·
Allow the device to cool down fully be-
fore stowing.
·
If the tyre will not inflate to at least 2.0
bar (29 psi/200 kPa), the tyre is too
damaged. The sealant is unable to seal
