).

f. Install the sensor to the valve stem.
The sensor should be tightened only by hand,
not with a tool.
Use a firm grip and tighten the sensor. It should stop when the threads are
fully engaged. A thread locking material has been added to the internal threaded portion of the
stem that will be on the inside of the wheel
(see Figure 2-1)
. Install the correct sensor into the
appropriate wheel (front or rear). The sensor will bind to the added Thread Locking material
and as a result, the vibration of driving will not allow the sensor to become loose in the tire.
g. Carefully pull the bottom bead over the sensor so that the sensor isn't damaged.
(See Figure 2-4)
