inflation valve and screw the tire sealing
system’s hose connector onto the valve
as tightly as possible by hand.

NOTE
The air pressure gauge will temporarily
show an increase in pressure to approxi-
mately 88 psi (6 bar) while the sealing
compound is being pumped into the tire.
The pressure should return to a normal
level after approximately 30 seconds.

between 22—44 psi (1.8—3.0 bar).
Switch off the compressor briefly to get a
clear reading from the pressure gauge.
