Sealing and inflating a t
yre
Sealing the tyre
●
Unscrew the tyre valve cap and insert. Use
the device ›››Fig.193
1
to remove the valve
cap
. Place it on a clean surface.
●
Shake the tyre sealant bottle vigorously
›››Fig.193
10
.
●
Screw the tyre inflation hose ›››Fig.193
3
into the tyre sealant bottle. The bottle's seal will
br
eak automatically.
●
Remove the filler cap ›››Fig.193
3
and
scr
ew the open end of the tube into the tyre
valve.
●
With the bottle upside down, empty all of the
contents into the tyre.
●
Remove the bottle from the valve.
●
Replace the howitzer with the device
›››Fig.193
1
onto the tyre valve.
Inflating the t
yre
●
Screw the tyre inflation tube of the compres-
sor ›››Fig.193
8
on the tyre valve.
●
Check that the air evacuation screw is
cl
osed ›››Fig.193
6
.
●
Start the engine and leave it running.
●
Attach the connector ›››Fig.193
9
to the
v
ehicle’s 12 volt power outlet ›››page174.
●
Switch on the air compressor with ON/OFF
switch ›››Fig.193
5
.
●
Keep the air compressor running until it rea-
ches a pr
essure of 2.0-2.5 bar (29-36psi/
200-250 kPa). A maximum of 8 minutes.
●
Disconnect the air compressor.
●
If it does not reach the pressure indicated,
unscr
ew the tyre inflator tube from the valve.
●
Move the vehicle 10m so that the sealant is
distributed throughout the tyre.
●
Screw the compressor tyre inflator into the
valve.
●
Repeat the inflation process.
●
If it still does not come up to pressure, the
tyre is too badly damaged. Stop and seek as-
sistance from authorised personnel.
●
Disconnect the air compressor. Unscrew the
tyre inflation tube from the tyre valve.
●
When the tyre pressure is between 2.5 and
2.0 bars, continue driving without exceeding
80km/h (50 mph).
●
Attach the sticker ›››Fig.193
2
to the instru-
ment panel displ
ay, within the driver's field of
vision.
●
Check the pressure again after 10 minutes
›››page291.
WARNING
When inflating the wheel, the air compr
essor
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 2.0bars (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.
