- Replace the valve stem assembly if the valve stem has deformations, cracks, damage, or corrosion.
- Do not use silicone lubricant. Use of silicone lubricant will deteriorate the tire and wheel.
- Do not drop or strike the tire pressure sensor. Replace the tire pressure sensor if it has been dropped from higher than one meter.
- Install the tire inside bead (1) onto the wheel (2) in the position shown, below.
- Install the valve stem to the tire pressure sensor.
- Install the washer (1) onto the valve stem, and then install the grommet seal (2) onto the valve stem.CAUTION:

- Check the direction of the grommet seal.
- Insert the grommet seal all the way to the base.
: Outside
CAUTION: Direct the cut part (A) of the washer to the center of the valve stem as shown, below. - Follow the procedure below and install the tire pressure sensor to the wheel.
- Check the position of the valve stem (A) before installing tire pressure sensor to the wheel.CAUTION: The base of the valve stem must be positioned in the groove of the metal plate as shown, above.
- Hold tire pressure sensor as shown below and press the tire pressure sensor in the direction shown by the arrow (

CAUTION:- Do not reuse valve core and valve cap.
- Check that grommet seal is free of foreign matter.
- Check that grommet seal contacts horizontally with wheel.
- Check again that the base of valve stem is positioned in the groove of the metal plate.
- Manually tighten valve stem nut all the way to the wheel. (Do not use a power tool to avoid impact.)
- Do not tighten valve stem nut to more than the specified torque. It may cause grommet seal damage.
- Do not tighten valve stem nut to less than the specified torque. It may cause an air leak.
- Check the position of the valve stem (A) before installing tire pressure sensor to the wheel.
- Place wheel on turntable of tire machine. Ensure that tire pressure sensor (1) is 270 degrees from mounting/dismounting head (2).CAUTION: Do not touch tire pressure sensor with mounting head.
- Apply a suitable non-silicone lubricant to the tire outside bead.CAUTION:

- Do not allow lubricant to make contact with tire pressure sensor.
- When installing, check that the tire does not turn together with the wheel.
- Install the tire outside bead onto the wheel as normal.NOTE: If the tire is being reused, align the matching mark applied on the tire with the position of the valve stem assembly for the purpose of wheel and tire balance adjustment after installation. Make sure that the tire does not rotate relative to wheel.
- Install the valve core and inflate tire. Refer to Tire Air Pressure .CAUTION: Do not reuse valve core.
- Install the valve cap.CAUTION: Do not reuse valve cap.
