3. Position the wheel and tire assembly on a suitable tire machine and separate both beads of the tire from the wheel.
-
For a paddle-type tire machine, position the valve stem at the 12 o'clock or 6 o'clock position and the paddle at the 3 o'clock position.
-
For a roller-type tire machine, position the valve stem with the roller at any position.
CAUTION:Tire and valve stem position is critical to prevent damage to the sensor when using a paddle-type bead separator.
NOTE:Some machines may have a nylon roller bead separator at the 12 o'clock position instead of the paddle-type bead separator at the 3 o'clock
position.
4. Place the wheel and tire assembly on the turntable of the tire machine with the valve stem between the 2 o'clock position and the machine arm at
the 12 o'clock position and dismount the outer bead from the wheel.
NOTE:Index-mark the valve stem and wheel weight positions on the tire.
