Volkswagen Polo Owners Manual: Sealing and inflating tyres
First read and observe the introductory
information and safety warnings
Sealing a tyre
- Unscrew the cap from the tyre valve.
- Use the valve core extractor to screw the valve core out of the tyre
valve. Place the core on a clean surface.
- Shake the tyre filler bottle vigorously up and down several times.
- Screw the filler hose tightly onto the tyre filler bottle in a clockwise
direction. The plastic foil on the plug is pierced automatically.
- Remove the plug from the filler hose and place the open end fully on the
tyre valve.
- Hold the bottle upside down and inject the entire
contents of the tyre filler bottle into the tyre.
- Remove the empty tyre filler bottle from the valve.
- Use the valve core extractor to screw the valve core back onto the tyre
valve.
Inflating the tyre
- Screw the tyre filler hose of the air compressor tightly onto the tyre
valve.
- Check that the bleed screw is closed.
- Start the engine and let it run.
- Insert the plug into the 12-volt socket in the vehicle .
- Use the on/off switch to switch on the air compressor.
- Run the compressor until the tyre pressure has reached 2.0 – 2.5 bar (29
– 36 psi / 200 – 250 kPA) . The maximum running time is 8 minutes
.
- Switch off the air compressor.
- If a pressure level of 2.0 – 2.5 bar (29 – 36 psi / 200 – 250 kPA)
cannot be achieved, unscrew the tyre filler hose from the
tyre valve.
- Drive (or reverse) the vehicle approximately 10 metres so that the
sealing compound is more evenly distributed in the tyre.
- Screw the tyre filler hose for the air compressor firmly back onto the
tyre valve and inflate the tyre again.
- If the required pressure still cannot be reached, the tyre is too badly
damaged. The tyre cannot be sealed with the breakdown set. Do not drive on.
Seek expert assistance .
- Disconnect the air compressor and unscrew the tyre filler hose from the
tyre valve.
- Drive the vehicle no faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) once a tyre pressure
of 2.0 – 2.5 bar (29 – 36 psi / 200 – 250 kPA) has been reached.
- Check the tyre pressure after driving for 10 minutes .
WARNING
The tyre filler hose and the air compressor can get hot during inflation.
- Protect your hands and skin from the hot components.
- Do not place the hot tyre filler hose or the hot air compressor on any
inflammable materials.
- Allow the device to cool down fully before stowing.
- If the tyre will not inflate to at least 2.0 bar (29 psi / 200 kPA), the
tyre is too damaged. The sealant is unable to seal the tyre. Do not drive
on. Seek expert assistance.
NOTICE
Switch the air compressor off after a maximum of 8 minutes to avoid overheating.
Let the air compressor cool down for a few minutes before switching it back on.
