Disconnect the air compressor.
●
If it is not possible to achieve an air pres-
sure of 2.0 to 2.5 bar (29-36 psi /
200-250 kPa), unscrew the tyre inflator tube
from the tyre valve.
●
Move the vehicle some 10 metres forward
or backward so that the sealant is evenly dis-
tributed in the tyre interior.
●
Securely screw the compressor tyre inflator
tube into the tyre valve and repeat the infla-
tion process.
●
If the indicated pressure can still not be
reached, the tyre is too badly damaged. The
tyre cannot be sealed with the anti-puncture
kit. Do not continue driving. You should ob-
tain professional assistance ››› .
●
Disconnect the air compressor and unscrew
the flexible inflator tube from the tyre valve.
●
When the tyre pressure is between 2.5 and
2.0 bars, immediately continue driving with-
