pressure using the kit.
)
Switch on the compressor by moving
the switch B
to position "I"
until the
tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars.
The sealant is injected into the tyre
under pressure; do not disconnect
the pipe from the valve during this
operation (risk of splashing).
If after around 5 to 7 minutes
the pressure is not attained, this
indicates that the tyre is not re-
pairable; contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop for assistance.
