Description And Operation: Overview: Tires: Notes
NOTE:
The tire valve and pressure sensor should be serviced using the suitable service kit, each time the tire is dismounted, to ensure an air tight seal. Attention should be made to the detail of fitting this kit.
Care must be taken when removing and refitting tires to ensure that the tire pressure sensor is not damaged.
| ITEM | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| 1 | Tire valve and pressure sensor |
| 2 | Tire fitting/removal tool initial start position |
| 3 | High tire and bead tension area |
| 4 | Low tire and bead 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 positioned as shown in the tire changing illustration. The wheel can then be rotated through 180 degrees in a counterclockwise direction. This will relieve the high tension from the tire bead allowing the remaining 180 degrees of the tire to be manually pulled from the rim.
When refitting the tire, position the fitting arm as shown. Rotate the tire and take care that the bead on the low tension side of the tire does not damage the sensor.
