COATS Extended Mobility (EMT) RunFlat Tires - Manual (Page 35)

The Objective of this Section:
To demonstrate the proper installation of a strap on sensor assembly.
Safety Issues Related to this Section:
• Protective eyewear must be worn at all times.
1 Locate the drop center on the wheel. The strap on sen-
sor should be positioned as low on the drop center as
possible (photo 2). Do not strap the sensor to the slanted por-
tions of the wheel. The strap will come loose and the sensor
assembly will flop freely around the inside of the tire. Photo
1 shows a properly installed strap-type sensor.
Strap sensors are location specific. Be sure to match the
sensor location (as indicated on the sensor label) to the cor-
rect wheel location.
2 Lay the strap around the drop center and overlap the
ends. Trim the strap down so that it overlaps itself by 2 to
3 inches.
The photo shows the correct mounting area.
3 Slide the counterweight onto the strap. Note the cres-
cent shape cutout on the weight. This cutout should be
on the top of the counterweight, and will position directly
below the valve stem.
4 Slide the sensor onto the strap with the label side facing
upwards. Feed the strap end into the tensioner and begin
tightening the strap. As the strap tightens, be sure to adjust the
positioning of the counterweight, strap tensioner, and sensor
–the counterweight should be directly beneath the valve stem,
the strap screw tensionor should be within two inches of the
sensor, and the sensor should be directly across from the weight
(180° around the wheel, photo 1). Tighten the strap securely, and
torque to 30 inch/pounds. The strap should be level and the
weight and sensor in proper position before proceeding.
5 Trim the excess strap to leave no more than 1 inch.
