6. Connect the electrical wire to the nearest
12-volt socket in the vehicle.
NOTE
Be sure that none of the other 12-volt
sockets is being used while the compres-
sor is in operation.
7. Start the vehicle’s engine.
WARNING
The vehicle´s engine should be running
when the tire sealing system is used to
avoid battery drain. Therefore, be sure the
vehicle is parked in a well ventilated place,
or outdoors, before using the system.
8. Start the tire sealing system’s compres-
sor by pressing the on/off switch to posi-
tion I.
WARNING
•
Never stand next to the tire being infla-
ted when the compressor is in opera-
tion.
•
If cracks, bubbles, etc. form on the tire,
switch off the compressor immediately.
•
If there is visible damage to the sidewall
or the rim, the tire cannot be repaired.
The vehicle should not be driven if this
occurs. Contact a towing service or
Volvo On Call Roadside Assistance if
applicable.
NOTE
The air pressure gauge will temporarily
show an increase in pressure to approxi-
mately 88 psi (6 bar) while the sealing
compound is being pumped into the tire.
The pressure should return to a normal
level after approximately 30 seconds.
9. Within seven minutes, inflate the tire to
between 22—44 psi (1.8—3.0 bar).
Switch off the compressor briefly to get a
clear reading from the pressure gauge.
CAUTION
The compressor should not be used for
more than 10 minutes at a time to avoid
overheating.
WARNING
If the pressure remains below 22 psi
(1.8 bar) after approximately seven
minutes, turn off the compressor. In this
case, the hole is too large to be sealed and
the vehicle should not be driven.
10. Switch off the compressor and discon-
nect the electrical wire from the 12-volt
socket.
11. Unscrew the hose from the tire’s inflation
valve and reinstall the valve cap.
CAUTION
•
After pumping the tires, always reinstall
the valve cap to help avoid damage to
the valve from dirt, gravel, etc.
•
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
