Product Manual
If
you did use
the
"Disconnect Mode," upon reuniting
the
two
units, you may simply engage
the
automatic
"Reconnect Feature" and
let
the
TireMinder
do
the
work
for
you. See page
12
for
"Disconnect" and "Reconnect
Mode" directions.
Can Rubber Valve Stems Be Used
with
The
TireMinder Transmitters?
Yes, TireMinder Transmitters may
be
used
on
high quality, high pressure rubber valve sterns. However,
we
highly
recommend brass
or
stainless
steel
valve sterns. Due
to
the
fact
that
rubber valve sterns
deteriorate
fairly quickly,
e.g.
they
should
be
replaced when replacing
your
tires, an external
TPMS
sensor can exacerbate
the
deteriorating
by adding weight
to
the
valve stern. Additional rubber valve stems issues are
based
on
age, length and physical
location (i.e. exposure
to
road salt, high heat, sun, etc).
If
using rubber valve sterns, it
is
recommended
that
you
check
the
condition
of
you rubber valve sterns
on
a regular basis. Failing
to
do
so
will
result
in
a tire failure.
Leaking
or
Broken Valve
Stem
If
you run into an issue
in
which your valve
stem
has broken,
or
started
to
leak,
we
recommend
purchasing
emergency valve
stems
that
are installed
on
the
exterior
of
the
tire. A highly
rated
option
is
Colby Valve, which
can
be
found
at
www.ColbyValve.com.
Transmitters
and
Friction (DO NOT Let
the
Transmitter
Rub Against
the
Wheel!)
Once
a transmitter is
mounted
on
the
valve stem,
be
sure
it does
not
touch
any solid portion
of
the
wheel
or
hub
cap. This can cause
the
friction from constantly rubbing
up
against
the
wheel, damaging
the
transmitter. This
damage
is
not
covered by
the
warranty.
To
avoid this, have
your
dealer
bend
your valve stern
so
that
it
is
far away
from
the
Tire
Rim.
You may also wish
to
use rubber stabilizers, which
will
help
the
valve stern remain steady.
