USER GUIDE

WARNING: The information provided by current regulations is found on the Fix&Go kit canister label. Before use, carefully read all warnings and instructions for use. Following all the instructions found on the label is essential to ensuring repair safety and efficiency. The kit should be used by adults and minors should not be allowed to use it. The sealant liquid is efficient at temperatures between -40°C / -40°F and +50°C / +122°F. Do not use sealant liquid after the expiration date indicated on the label. Show the canister and its label to personnel who handle the tire treated with the kit. Fix&Go is a temporary tire repair system. See a specialist as soon as possible after use (between 300 km / 186 mi at most). The kit repairs tread holes up to 6 mm / 0.24 in diameter: if the hole exceeds 6 mm / 0.24 in and/or is found in other places on the tire, do not use and call road assistance. Do not remove any foreign objects found on the tire. Do not leave the compressor on for over 20 consecutive minutes: unit overheating hazard.

TIRE REPAIR

Put the car in a safe place and turn on the parking brake. Take out the kit. Remove the punctured tire valve cap and connect the transparent sealant tube [6]. (FIG.**A**).
Make sure the on-off button [1] is off (button not pressed). Insert the electrical plug [9] in the car’s 12V socket. (FIG. **A**).
Turn the selector switch [3] to the left (tire icon) and start the compressor by pressing the on-off button [1]. (FIG. **B**). As soon as the sealant has fully flowed into the tire and the gauge [2] shows the ideal pressure indicated in the car user manual, continue with point 4 in this booklet.
**** If, after 15 minutes from the compressor being switched on, the gauge [2] still indicates a pressure of less than 1.5 bar / 22 psi: turn off the compressor, disconnect the transparent sealant tube [6] and screw on the tire valve cap. Move the car so that the tire makes about 5 turns to allow the sealant to distribute in the tire. Stop the car again. Remove the tire valve cap and connect the black inflation tube [7]. Turn the selector switch [3] to the right (pump icon) and run the compressor until the ideal pressure indicated in the car user manual is reached, then continue with point 4 in this booklet. If 15 minutes later, pressure is still under 1.5 bar / 22 psi, THE TIRE IS TOO DAMAGED TO BE REPAIRED: put the kit back in its compartment and call road assistance.
Turn off the compressor by pressing the on-off button [1] (FIG. **B**) and within the indicated speed limit without suddenly accelerating or braking. After driving for about 10 minutes, park in a safe place and turn on the parking brake. (FIG. **C**).
Take the kit and make sure the on-off button [1] is off and that the selector switch [3] is set to the right (pump icon). Insert the electrical plug [9] in the car’s 12V socket and connect the black inflation tube [7]. Check whether the tire pressure gauge is:

a. greater than or equal to 1.5 bar / 22 psi: turn on the compressor until the ideal pressure indicated in the car user manual is reached (FIG. D ). If you exceed the indicated pressure, press the air release button [10]. THE TIRE IS FIXED: disconnect and place the kit in its case in the car. Drive safely and visit a specialist or the manufacturer’s service center as soon as possible.
b. under 1.5 bar / 22 psi: THE TIRE IS TOO DAMAGED TO BE REPAIRED. Place the kit in its case in the car and call road assistance.
FOR TIRE INFLATION ONLY
Make sure the on-off button [1] is off and turn the selector switch [3] to the right (pump icon). Insert the electrical plug [9] in the car’s 12V socket. Remove the tire valve cap and connect the black inflation tube [7]. Start the compressor by pressing the on-off button [1] until the ideal pressure indicated in the car user manual is reached (FIG. **D**). If you exceed the indicated pressure, press the air release button [10].
