Installation
Assembly of the tire

opposite side of the valve, i.e. offset by 180° (figure 10).

CAUTION
Damage to the internal sensor
The internal sensor can be damaged by the
penetration of fluids.
– Make sure that the internal sensor does not
come into contact with fluids (e.g. assembly
fluid).
– Apply assembly fluid to the tire bead and rim flange.
– Now push the bead to be fitted onto the rim over the rim flange.
!
During assembly the tire bead must not be pressed against the wheel
electronics. Otherwise there is a risk of the internal sensor coming off at the
fastening point.
– Then pull the second tire bead onto the rim.
!
During this procedure the bead must never be pressed onto the internal sensor
or pulled over it.
During assembly the assembly head must have a minimum distance of 20 cm to
the internal sensor (figure 11). The remaining part of the bead can be pressed
over the rim flange in the normal way (figure 12).
