Safety

3.1 | Intended use
The tyre repair set is used for emergency repair of tubeless motorcycle tyres after a puncture, for faults on the tyre tread only. The tyre repair set is for temporary repair of the tyre for a short journey (max. 10 km) without a pillion, luggage or similar load, at a greatly reduced speed appropriate to the extent of the damage (max. 50 km/h) to the nearest motorcycle workshop. Since this is a universal product and not intended for a specific vehicle, it is important to make sure that it is suitable for your motorcycle model before using the product for the first time. In the process, it is imperative that you comply with the stipulations in the vehicle operating instructions and the vehicle manufacturer’s specifi cations. The Louis-Tech Tyre Repair Set must only be used as described in these instructions. Any other use is considered improper use and can result in material damage. The manufacturer and supplier accept no liability for damage caused by improper or incorrect use.

3.2 | Safety instructions
WARNING!
The danger for children and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities (e.g. partially disabled persons, elderly persons with reduced physical and mental abilities) or lack of experience and knowledge (e.g. older children)!

• The gas cartridges included in the set are pressurised and can burst if subjected to a temperature increase. The cartridges must be protected from direct sunlight.
• The Louis-Tech tyre repair set must not be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities, or those with a lack of experience and knowledge of dealing with this type of product.
• The packaging fi lm and small parts must be kept away from children, as there is a risk of suffocation.

WARNING!
Risk of crashing!

• Damage to the side walls of tyres must never be repaired with the tyre repair set.
• Only a short journey (max. 10 km) must be made, without a pillion, luggage or similar load at a greatly reduced speed appropriate to the extent of the damage (max. 50 km/h) to the nearest motorcycle workshop, where the damaged tyre must be examined and repaired or replaced.
• The tyre pressure must be checked and the tyre must be visually inspected at regular intervals during the journey to the nearest motorcycle workshop.

CAUTION!
Risk of injury!

• When cutting off the repair string, make sure that you handle the knife carefully in order to avoid lacerations.

How to use

4.1 | Preparing and repairing the puncture
Check the tyre and, if necessary, remove any object which may be in the puncture.
It may be necessary to use pliers or a similar tool to remove some objects.

| Insert the 2-in-1 repair tool (1) into the hole in the tyre. Clean the puncture by inserting and removing the awl into the course of the damaged spot multiple times. Any dirt must be removed from the puncture. The diameter of the puncture must not exceed a maximum of 4.5 mm.
---|---
| Peel off a sealing strip from the protective fi lm and insert it into the needle eye of the repair tool.
| Insert the repair string into the puncture using the repair tool, allowing it to still protrude at least 13 millimetres.
Pull out the repair tool and make sure that the repair string remains in the puncture.
Use further repair strings for a larger hole as necessary.
| The repair string can be shortened to around 6 millimetres (measured from the outer surface of the tyre).
Fill the tyre to the tyre pressure recommended by the manufacturer and check whether the puncture remains
air-tight. To do so, check with water whether air bubbles are expelled from the repaired area.

4.2 | Use of the valve adapter
Before using the valve adapter: Gently screw the CO2 cartridge onto the bottom end of the valve adapter until you feel resistance. Then quickly screw the cartridge to the end of the thread, not too hard, but firmly enough to penetrate and seal off the seal.
Now screw the flexible tyre valve access hose onto the valve adapter and the device is ready for use.
Screwing the CO₂ cartridge on and off the valve adapter regulates the supply of gas. To supply gas, unscrew the cartridge a little by turning it to the left. No more than half a turn.
In order to stop the supply of gas to the tyre, tighten the cartridge by turning it to the right. Only fill the tyre to the desired tyre pressure.
When using the valve adapter, always hold the cartridge upright. This way you ensure that the cartridge gives off the maximum quantity of CO₂. Do not touch the cartridge with bare hands as it becomes extremely cold when emptied. It is imperative that you use gloves or only touch the valve adapter.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury!
Do not unscrew or remove the cartridge from the valve adapter until it is completely empty as there is otherwise a risk of injuries. Protect the cartridge from direct sunlight and do not under any circumstances expose it to temperatures of more than 48°C. Do not store it in the vehicle. Never allow the gas to be expelled toward the face or body.

Storage

Do not store in the vehicle and do not expose to direct sunlight or temperatures of more than 35°C.

Spare parts

Consumables, such as CO₂ cartridges or repair strings, are available separately for filling up the set for the next trip.
