► Press the on/off switch on the tire inflation compressor to 0.

The tire inflation compressor is switched off.

► Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of the faulty tire.
► Very slowly drive forwards or reverse approximately 30 ft (10 m).

WARNING If after five minutes a pressure of 180 kPa 
If after five minutes a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) cannot be achieved, the tire is too badly damaged to be repaired reliably using TIREFIT.
In this case TIREFIT cannot seal the tire properly.
