INSTALLATION GUIDE

IMPORTANT: Before operating or maintaining this unit, please read these instructions carefully and pay extra attention to the safety warnings and precautions. Use this unit correctly and with care. Failure to do so may cause damage and/or personal injury
and will void the warranty.

1. Loosening the tire
Remove the valve cap and core and deflate the tire.
Use the bead loosener to unseat the tire bead.
**** CAUTION: The bead loosener must be facing the valve.

2. Dismounting the tire
Clamp the tire onto the tire changer, and adjust the valve at 1 o’clock relative to the tire separation head. Insert the tire tool and lift the tire bead onto the mounting head to dismount the bead.
CAUTION: This starting position must be observed during the whole dismounting process.

3. Dismounting the sensor
Remove the fastening screw and the sensor from the valve stem with a screwdriver, and then loosen the nut to remove the valve.

4. Mounting sensor and valve
Slide the valve stem through the valve hole of the rim. Tighten the screw-nut with 4.0N·m with the help of the fixed rod.  Assemble the sensor and the valve stem together by a screw. Hold the sensor body against the rim and tighten the screw.

5. Mounting the tire
Place the tire on the rim, and make sure that the valve faces the separation head at an angle of 180º. Mount the tire over the rim.
CAUTION: The tire should be mounted to the wheel using tire changer manual- lecturers instructions.
