Important: Before the tire is removed from the wheel note the following items to avoid tire pressure sensor damage upon tire dismounting.
• Place the cap and the valve on a dry clean surface after removal, the cap is aluminum and the valve is nickel plated to prevent corrosion and are not to be substituted with a cap or valve made of any other material. • When using the tire machine to separate the tire bead from the wheel, position the bead breaking fixture 90 degrees from the valve stem. • When removing the tire from the wheel, ensure a tolerance is maintained between the tire machine fixture, or irons, tire bead, and the sensor.
Important: If any tire sealant is noted upon tire dismounting, remove all residual liquid sealant from the inside of the tire and wheel surfaces.
