Attention! If necessary (puncture, air leak due to deformation of the wheel rim) a tubeless tire can be installed complete with a tube.
A quick repair of a tubeless tire can be done with a special repair kit that provides reliable sealing of the damaged area. However, it should be taken into account that such repair is only suitable for eliminating small punctures. In most cases, this is a temporary measure to be able to get to the repair site or parking lot. Tire repair kits may differ in the materials included. Therefore, when performing work, it is necessary to follow the instructions attached to the kit.
1 - a device with a threaded tip or with notches; 2 - strips of raw rubber; 3 - needle with a split eye; 4 - glue activator for raw rubber
Warning! A tyre with a large puncture, damaged cord or cut sidewall must be replaced.
Tyre repair is possible without removing the wheel, it is enough to jack up the car and place it on a support. The car can be used immediately after repair.
Warning! When driving on a repaired tire, you should be careful: reduce your speed so that in case of sudden tire failure you can take adequate measures; try to avoid uneven road surfaces or drive over them at low speed. The repaired tire should be replaced as soon as possible. It is acceptable to use such a tire on a spare wheel.
Sequence of execution
1. Find the puncture site (by the air coming out of the puncture or by the object that has punctured the tire).
2. Install the wheel so that the puncture site is accessible for repair.
3. Remove the object that punctured the tire.
4. Inflate the wheel to a pressure of 2.0 bar (0.2 MPa).
5. Apply a few drops of glue to the notched tip of the device.
6. After inserting the tip of the device into the puncture hole, push it in and out several times.
7. Insert a strip of raw rubber into a needle with a split eye so that the needle divides the strip in half.
8. Apply glue activator to the rubber strip.
9. Using a needle, insert a strip of raw rubber into the puncture hole so that approximately half of the strip protrudes on each side.
10. Carefully remove the needle so that the rubber strip remains in the hole.
11. Cut off the protruding parts of the repair strip flush with the tire surface.
12. Bring the air pressure in the tire to the norm (see "Tires - Checking Pressure").
