Flat tire
̈ Unscrew the valve cap from tire
valve 7.
̈ Screw filler hose onto tire valve 7.
̈ Insert electrical plug 4 into vehicle
cigarette lighter socket.
̈ Turn key in steering lock to position 1
(
୴ page 29).
̈ Press I on electric air pump switch 8.
The electric air pump should now
switch on and inflate the tire.
After 5 minutes, the pressure gauge must
display at least 26 psi (1.8 bar). The air
hose can become hot during inflation.
Please exercise appropriate caution.
̈ If this tire pressure is not attained, turn
off the electric air pump, detach the fill-
er hose from the tire valve, and drive
vehicle back and forth very slowly ap-
proximately 30 ft (10 m).
This serves to better distribute the
TIREFIT sealant material inside the tire.
̈ Unscrew the air pump’s air hose 5
from flange 6 of the TIREFIT contain-
er.
̈ Screw air hose 5 onto tire valve 7
and inflate the tire again.
̈ After attaining a tire pressure of 26 psi
(1.8 bar), press 0 on electric air pump
switch 8.
The electric air pump should now be
switched off.
̈ Turn key in steering lock to position 0
(
୴ page 29).

If sealant has leaked out, let it dry. You
can then peel it off.
!
Do not operate the electric air pump
longer than eight minutes without in-
terruption. Otherwise it may overheat.
You may operate the air pump again af-
ter it has cooled off.
Warning! G
If a tire pressure of 26 psi (1.8 bar) is not at-
tained, tire is too severely damaged for
TIREFIT to provide a reliable tire repair.
In this case, TIREFIT cannot properly seal
the tire.
Do not drive the vehicle.
