Care must be taken when removing and installing tires to make sure that the tire pressure sensor is not damaged.
1
-
Tire valve and pressure sensor
2
-
Tire removal/install tool starting position
3
-
Tire and bead high tension area
4
-
Tire and bead low tension area
When removing the tire, the bead breaker must not be used within 90 degrees of the tire valve in each direction.
When using the tire removal machine, the fitting arm start position must be as shown. The wheel can then be rotated through 180 degrees in a counterclockwise direction. This will release the high tension from the tire bead allowing the remaining 180 degrees of the tire to be manually released from the wheel rim.
When installing the tire, position the fitting arm as shown. Rotate the tire in a clockwise direction taking care that the bead on the side of the tire experiencing low tension does not damage the sensor.
