3. Slide on the sensor.

FIGURE 1 - SENSOR INSTALLATION
4. The sensor must always be installed at the valve in order
to know its location after the tire has been mounted.
5. With the strap and sensor positioned in the lowest point
of the drop center well, feed the end of the strap into the
worm gear and pull it tight. Orient the sensor so that it is
positioned at the valve with the worm gear 4" (100 mm)
away from the edge of the sensor.
6. Hand-tighten the strap using a 5/16" (8 mm) hexagon driver
until the sensor cannot be moved.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten the strap. Reference torque:
35 in-lbs (4 Nm).
7. Indicate that a sensor has been installed by applying the
supplied rim label to the rim. Clean and dry the rim as
needed. See Figure 2.

8. IMPORTANT: The sensor number (P1, P2, etc.) is
shown on the sensor body. In Step 10, the tires will be
installed on the vehicle with the sensors in a pre-allocated
position. Use a method — such as marking the number on
the rim, or moving the tires to a set location — for keeping
track of which tire has which sensor, before installing the
tires.

FIGURE 3 - USING A TIRE IRON
9. See Figure 3. To avoid damaging the sensor, simply mount
the tire so that the last part of the bead to slip over the
ange will be at the sensor. Start at one end of the tire
and work towards the opposite end with the tire oriented so
that the beads are rst pushed under the rim ange directly
opposite the sensor (1) and then worked over the ange
toward the sensor (2). Using this technique, the bead will
slip over the rim ange at the sensor without contacting it
(3). Repeat for the remaining bead.
IMPORTANT - SENSORS/WHEELS MUST BE
INSTALLED IN THE CORRECT LOCATIONS
10. Use Figure 4 to verify that the wheels are installed in the
correct location for each (numbered P1, P2, etc.) sensor.
