L–2 Mounting–Strap-Type Sensor
4 Clean and polish the wheel. Check for any burrs or dam-
age to the wheel that might damage the tire during the
mounting process. Stiff sidewall tires of this type are excep-
tionally snug-fitting, and a clean, polished surface will
reduce friction and aid in the mounting and bead seating
process.
NOTE: Always clamp the wheel externally. This prevents the
wheel from moving upwards during the mounting process.
5 Lubricate the entire surface of the wheel liberally with a
slow-drying lubricant. Pay special attention to the bead
seat area, the safety humps, and the drop center.
6 Lubricate the lower tire bead.
NOTE: Pay strict attention to any specific tire location infor-
mation on the wheel. The tire may have been marked earlier
with a location and/or rotation direction. The imprinting on
the tire sidewall may also give you specific location and
directional information. Remember that the low-pressure
sensor is location specific. Make sure you are mounting the
correct tire on the correct wheel.
7 Rotate the tabletop so that the valve stem is at the 12
o’clock position and the sensor is at the 6 o’clock position.
Lubricate and position the duckhead so that
it is against the wheel with the lower bead
resting on the back of the duckhead. Position
the tire over the wheel.
8 Hold the tire down with the lower bead in the drop cen-
ter and rotate the wheel slowly. The lower bead should
be eased over the wheel slowly and carefully, giving the
sidewall time to relax. Hold the tire so that the bead stays in
the drop center.
9 Carefully guide the lower bead over the sensor; the tire
should then drop down –for the upper bead mounting.
