has a gap at the
lower end for a valve insert. The valve insert
can only be screwed or unscrewed in this

.
WARNING
When inflating the wheel, the air compressor
and the inflator tube may become hot.
Protect hands and skin from hot parts.
Do not place the hot flexible inflator tube or
hot air compressor on flammable material.
Allow them to cool before storing the de-
vice.
If it is not possible to inflate the tyre to at
least 2.0 bars (29 psi / 200 kPa), the tyre is
too badly damaged. The sealant is not in a
good condition to seal the tyre. Do not con-
tinue driving. Seek specialist assistance.
CAUTION
Switch off the air compressor after a maxi-
mum of 8 operational minutes to avoid over-
heating! Before switching on the air compres-
sor again, let it cool for several minutes.

Set the tyre pressure to the correct value
again.
Carefully resume your journey until you
reach the nearest specialised workshop with-
out exceeding 80 km/h (50 mph).
Have the damaged tyre replaced.
WARNING
Driving with an unsealed tyre is dangerous
and can cause accidents and serious injury.
Do not continue driving if the tyre pressure
is 1.3 bar (19 psi / 130 kPa) and lower.
Seek specialist assistance.
