power outlet when connecting the
power cord. 6. With the vehicle ON (
indicator ON),
switch on the compressor and let it
run for approximately 5~7 minutes to
fill the sealant up to proper pressure.
(refer to the Tire and Wheels, chapter
8). The inflation pressure of the tire
after filling is unimportant and will be
checked/corrected later.
Be careful not to overinflate the tire
and stay away from the tire when filling it.
CAUTION
Tire pressure
Do not attempt to drive your vehicle if
the tire pressure is below 200 kPa (29
psi). This could result in an accident due
to sudden tire failure.
