Wheel Valve Air Filter Change

wheel valve. This filter must be replaced whenever
the tire or wheel valve is serviced and at every tire
change.

ing the air filter replacement as follows:

1. Working quickly to prevent air loss, remove the tire

hose from the outlet port of the wheel valve. Cap
hoses to prevent air loss. If outlet port has an
adapter, remove it also.

2. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the air filter from the

wheel valve. Discard the used air filter.

Note: Air filters should not be cleaned or reused, always
replace with a new air filter.

3. Install new air filter into wheel valve outlet port.

the wheel valve in the following manner. If only
