To avoid damaging the Transmitter
during tire mounting, position the
wheel with the Transmitter located at
7 o’clock in relation to the mount head
at 12 o’clock.
Set the lubricated tire on the wheel
with its traction point 3 in. (75 mm)
before the Transmitter. Use the mount
head to guide the rest of the bottom
bead over the flange and onto the rim.
With the bottom bead in place, you will
be able to position the wheel with the
Transmitter at 7 o’clock for most tires.
Depress the bead into the drop centre so
that the traction point is 3 in. (75 mm)
before the Transmitter.

Some stiff side wall tires (such as “run-
flats”) require setting the Transmitter
between 3 o’clock and 6 o’clock. Start
the top bead in front of the mount
head assisting with the mounting bar
to prevent slippage.
Inflate the tire to seat the bead, deflate
completely and then inflate the tire to
manufacturer’s recommended cold
inflation pressure. Balance the wheel.
