COATS Extended Mobility (EMT) RunFlat Tires - Manual (Page 37)

The Objective of this Section:
To demonstrate the safe and proper mounting of exceptionally stiff sidewall tires on wheels with
a strap-type low-pressure sensor installed. To demonstrate the use of a plastic duckhead.
Safety Issues Related to this Section:
• ALWAYS wear eye protection during tire service activity.
• ALWAYS wear durable work clothing (i.e.; tight-fitting leather gloves, steel-toed shoes, back belts).
• NEVER wear loose fitting clothing or articles, jewelry, or long hair.
1 Determine the correct length rubber valve stem. Clean
the valve hole. Lubricate the valve thoroughly to insure a
good, leak-free installation.
2 Install the valve stem. Use a shop towel to prevent dam-
age to the wheel.
3A Use only rubber valve stems. The hex nut on metal
valve stems will catch the tire during the mounting
process and can peel the rubber away from the bead wire.
3B Metal valves with chamfers on the ends will also
catch and tear the rubber during mounting.
3C Note the damage that metal valve stems can cause.
