4.Put on the gloves included in the tire seal- ing system.

WARNING

Contact with the sealing compound may cause skin irritation. If contact occurs, wash the affected area immediately with soap and water.

5.Unscrew the orange cover over the bottle holder and unscrew the cap on the bottle of sealing compound.

NOTE

Do not break the seal on the bottle. This occurs automatically when the bottle is screwed into the holder.

6. Screw the bottle into the bottle holder.

WARNING

The bottle is equipped with a catch to keep it securely in place and help prevent sealing compound leakage. Once in place, the bot- tle cannot be unscrewed. This must be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

7.Remove the valve cap from the tire’s infla- tion valve and screw the tire sealing sys- tem’s hose connector onto the valve as tightly as possible by hand.

8.Connect the electrical wire to the nearest 12-volt socket in the vehicle.

9.Start the vehicle’s engine.

10.Start the tire sealing system’s compressor by pressing the on/off switch to position I.

WARNING

•Never stand next to the tire being inflated when the compressor is in operation.

•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 com- pound is being pumped into the tire. The pressure should return to a normal level after approximately 30 seconds.

11.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.

12.Switch off the compressor and disconnect the electrical wire from the 12-volt socket.
