The tire inflation compressor is switched on. The tire is inflated.
First, TIREFIT is pumped into the tire. The
pressure can briefly rise to approximately
500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tire inflation compressor during this phase.
► Allow the tire inflation compressor to run for five minutes. The tire should then have attained a pressure of at least 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi).
Do not operate the tire inflation
compressor for longer than eight minutes
at a time without a break. It may otherwise
overheat.
The tire inflation compressor can be operated again once it has cooled down.
If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has been achieved after five minutes, see.
If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has not been achieved after five minutes, see.
