| Repairing tyres with run-flat capability (PAX) |
| It is not always necessary to renew a tyre after it has lost pressure and then been run in an uninflated condition. |
Note | The affected tyre should be removed and checked for damage by qualified personnel. Fitting of tyres and checking tyres for damage must only be carried out by qualified personnel. |
| After a run-flat tyre (PAX) has lost inflation pressure, check the tyre as follows: |
| –
| First remove as much gel residue from the tyre as possible. Use the flat side of the putty knife to do so. |
| –
| Then clean away any remaining gel residue from the tyre and support ring using water and a cloth. |
| –
| After separating the tyre and support ring, check both components (PAX) according to the following criteria. |
| –
| When re-installing, make sure the support ring is the correct size for the tyre and wheel dimensions. |
| –
| As with standard tyre/wheel systems, the PAX wheel must also be checked before fitting. |
| –
| Damaged wheels must be renewed. |
