8. Start the compressor by flicking the
switch to position I (On).
When the compressor starts, the pressure
can increase up to 6 bar (88 psi), but the
pressure drops after about 30 seconds.
WARNING
Never stand next to the tyre when the
compressor is running. If cracks or uneven-
ness arise then the compressor must be
switched off immediately. The journey
should not be continued. Call roadside
assistance for recovery to a tyre centre.
Volvo recommends an authorised tyre cen-
tre.
9. Inflate the tyre for 7 minutes.
IMPORTANT
The compressor must not be operated for
longer than 10 minutes - risk of overheat-
ing.
10. Switch off the compressor to check the
pressure on the pressure gauge. Minimum
pressure is 1.8 bar (22 psi) and maximum
is 2.5 bar (36 psi). Release air using the
pressure reducing valve if the tyre pres-
sure is too high.
To access the pressure reducing valve, the
sealing fluid bottle must first be removed.
Remove the bottle in the following order:
1. Remove the air hose from the tyre
valve.
2. Remove the air hose from the bottle.
3. Remove the bottle from the compres-
sor.
4. Refit the air hose directly in the com-
pressor.
5. Refit the air hose to the tyre valve.
6. Release air using the pressure reducing
valve.
WARNING
If the pressure is below 1.8 bar (22 psi)
then the hole in the tyre is too big. The jour-
ney should not be continued. Call roadside
assistance for recovery to a tyre centre.
Volvo recommends an authorised tyre cen-
tre.
11. Switch off the compressor and detach the
electrical cable.
12. Unscrew the air hose from the tyre valve
and refit the dust cap on the tyre.
NOTE
•
After a tyre has been inflated, always
refit the dust cap in order to avoid dam-
age to the valve from gravel, dirt, etc.
•
Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dust
caps can rust and become difficult to
unscrew.
13. Clean the air hose before putting it away
and be careful that there is no leakage of
sealing fluid.
14. As soon as possible, drive at least 3 km
(2 miles) at a maximum speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph) so that the sealing fluid can seal
the tyre, and then perform a follow-up
check.
WARNING
Sealant will spurt out of the puncture dur-
ing the first few rotations of the tyre. Make
sure that nobody is standing near the car
and gets the sealing fluid splashed onto
them when the car is driven away. The dis-
tance should be at least 2 metres (7 feet).
