Road and Track Vehicles
Installation
Before you begin
Observe the following safety conditions while you are attaching the SWIFT
sensor and components to the vehicle.
Do not pressure-wash the transducer or clean it with solvents.
Pressure-washing the transducer or cleaning it with solvents can damage it
or degrade the silastic seal and may void the warranty.
Using strong cleaners or solvents can damage the RTV seal and may void
the warranty.
Use only a soft sponge or brush with non-metal bristles and a gentle detergent
(such as dish soap) to wash the transducer.
Do not use high-pressure air to clean debris from around the transducer
connectors.
High-pressure air can damage the silastic seals and may void the warranty.
Use a brush with fine, non-metal bristles and low air-pressure [0.07 MPa (10 psi)]
to clean debris from around the transducer connectors.
Do not lay the wheel down on top of the transducer without proper padding.
If the wheel is laid down with the transducer under it, the transducer could
be scratched and the connectors damaged.
Always hold the wheel upright when the transducer is attached to it. If needed,
have another person hold the wheel upright while you tighten the bolts, if laying
the wheel down cannot be avoided, place the wheel on a layer of foam or a pad to
protect the connectors.
Do not under-torque the lug nuts.
Lug nuts that are not properly tightened can become loose during testing.
Loss of a wheel can cause damage to the test vehicle and transducer and
result in serious injury, death, or property damage.
Always tighten the lug nuts to the torque rating recommended for the vehicle/
wheel. Recheck the torque daily and/or before each testing session.
