Removal
Tire Removal
1. | Deflate tire & remove balance weights.
Sensor can be unscrewed before unseating the tire bead.
• | The tire bead should be broken approx. 90° from the valve side of the wheel. The bead breaker should not be set too deep.
• | Avoid tire/tool contact with the valve on dismount.
• | Dismount should end near the valve.
Sensor Removal
Handle the sensor with care.
1. | Remove the valve nut.
The valve nut should not be re-used.
2. | Discard the valve assembly.
Installation
Sensor Fit
• | Handle the sensor with care.
• | Avoid lubricant contact.
• | Ensure that the wheel to be fitted is designed for sensor mount. There should normally be a mark to indicate this.
• | Ensure that the valve hole and mating face of the wheel are clean.
1. | Slide the sensor-valve unit through the valve hole of the rim. Hold the sensor against the rim and the rubber grommet against the sealing surface.
2. | Insert the nut over the valve stem and then tighten the nut.
3. | Continue to tightening the nut until contact with the rim and then tighten to 3.5 ~ 4.5Nm.
- | Tighten slowly with quarter turn steps until the final torque is reached.
- | Do not exceed allowed torque.
- | Do not use electric or pneumatic tools.
4. | Check that the sensor is firmly attached to the rim.
Risk of damage during the tire installation/ removal if the sensor is not firmly attached to the rim.
5. | Carry out inflation / pressure correction and then fit valve cap.
Change the newly installed sensor mode to Normal Fixed Base(Low Line) with the 'GDS'. Mode (Status / option) of the sensor installed to the vehicle should be Normal Fixed Base (Low).
