Emergency puncture repair*
The emergency puncture repair kit, Temporary
Mobility Kit (TMK), is used to seal a puncture
and check and adjust the air pressure.
NOTE
After a tyre has been inflated, always refit
the dust cap in order to avoid damage to
the valve from gravel, dirt, etc.

The emergency puncture repair kit consists of a
compressor and a bottle of sealant. The sealing
works as a temporary repair. The sealing fluid
effectively seals tyres punctured in the tread.
Only use plastic dust caps. Metal dust
caps can rust and become difficult to
unscrew.

The emergency puncture repair kit has limited
capacity to seal tyres which have punctures in the
