Press the wheel electronics unit -A- slightly into the rim bed (this adjusts the angle of inclination of the valve with respect to the wheel
electronics unit).
Carefully tighten the self-locking fastening screw (Torx T 20) to the required tightening torque of 4 Nm (3 ftlb.). The wheel electronics unit
should now be lying evenly against the rim.

Removing/mounting tires (removing and installing tires)
Removing tires
For correct tire removal/mounting, follow the instructions provided for the tire removal/mounting machine.
See Requirements/information on removing/mounting tires!
1. Fit and clamp a clean disc wheel on the tire removal/mounting machine.
Check that the tire is seated securely and without damage (as described in the instructions provided for the tire removal/mounting machine).
2. Unscrew the valve insert and release the air so that the tire is depressurized.
3. Set the tire bead press-off tool (in accordance with the tire size).
Setting the tire bead press-off tool
3.1.
Set the tire bead press-off tool to the inch graduation (rough setting in accordance with the tire size).
3.2.
Then adjust the setting precisely (the press-off roller must not touch the rim when positioned on the tire). If this is not the case, the rim flange
may be damaged by the press-off rollers.
4. Loosen the lower and upper tire bead (press the tire off the rim).
4.1.
The wheel must be turned anti-clockwise (anti-clockwise rotation of the mounting table) when pressing the tire off the rim (loosening the tire
bead). Otherwise, excessive forces occur on the fastening bolts of the machine which can break the bolts.
First press off the lower tire bead and then the upper tire bead (to ensure that the wheel remains seated securely on the machine).
Coat the tire beads with mounting paste even at this stage of the procedure to make it easier to press the tire bead off.
4.2.
Loosen the two bead press-off tools again (by moving them back to their original position).
