200-250 kPa) .
Do not leave it running
f
or mor
e than 8 minutes ››
.
Switch off the compressor.
If it fails to reach a pressure of between
2.0 and 2.5 bar (29-36 psi / 200-250 kPa),
unscrew the inflator tube from the tyre valve.
Move the vehicle some 10 metres forwards
or backwards so that the sealant is evenly
distributed in the tyre interior.
Securely screw the compressor tyre inflator
tube into the tyre valve again and repeat the
inflation process.
If the indicated pressure can still not be
reached, the tyre is too badly damaged. The
tyre cannot be sealed with the tyre mobility
system. Do not continue driving. You should
obtain professional assistance .
Disconnect the air compressor and unscrew
the inflator tube from the tyre valve.
If a pressure between 2.0 and 2.5 bar
(29-36 psi / 200-250 kPa) is reached, then
continue driving at 80 km/h (50 mph) maxi-
mum.
After 10 minutes
, check the pressure again
