The tire inflation compressor is switched

on. The tire is inflated.

First, tire sealant is pumped into the tire.

The pressure can briefly rise to approx-

imately 500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tire inflation com-

pressor during this phase.

X

Allow the tire inflation compressor to run

for five minutes. The tire should then have

attained a pressure of at least 180 kPa

(1.8 bar/26 psi).

If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has

been attained after five minutes, see "Tire

pressure reached" (

Y

page 310).

If a tire pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)

has not been attained after five minutes, see

"Tire pressure not reached" (

Y

page 310).

i

If tire sealant leaks out, allow it to dry. It

can then be removed like a layer of film.
If your clothes are soiled with tire sealant,

have them cleaned with perchloroethylene

at a dry cleaner as soon as possible.
