3.5.2 Using a Tire Mounting Machine
1. After removing the deflated tire / wheel assembly from the vehicle, unseat
the beads directly opposite the sensor and valve stem. The sensor should
be located at the valve stem (the rim mounted decal should also indicate
the sensor’s location). Do not break the bead at or near the sensor /
valve stem.
2. Position the lubricated tire / wheel assembly on the machine so that the
dismount head and the sensor are approximately aligned.
3. Lift the bead over the rim flange with the bead lifting bar and then advance
the assembly / dismount head clockwise to remove the top bead.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to remove the bottom bead.
NOTE: This information should be provided to tire installers that are not
authorized SmarTire ® TPMS distribution outlet to ensure a sensor is not
broken when a tire is dismounted.
