System Scope of Use and Warnings
The SmarTire™ System and Tire Maintenance
This system is a sensing device designed to identify and display tire operating data and activate an alert or warning
when pressure irregularities are detected. It is the responsibility of the driver to react promp tly and with discretion to
alerts and warnings. Abnormal tire inflation pressures should be corrected at the earliest opportunity.
System Installation and Usage
Use of the SmarTire™ system requires that it has been properly installed and programmed by qualified personnel
according to SmarTire Systems Inc. documentation. This includes the Owner’s Manual and any supplementary
installation instructions included with system components.
Reacting to Alerts
When an alert or warning condition is detected, reduce vehicle speed to an appropriate safe level and proceed
to a safe stopping location or facility where the tire can be inspected and serviced. The low pressure alert or
warning indicates that the air pressure has dropped to a selected minimum.

Getting Started
Congratulations! As the owner of this state-of-the-art wireless tire pressure monitor system, you will enjoy the
improved convenience and benefits of having tire pressure information automatically monitored while you are
driving.
The SmarTire System consists of wheel mounted sensor/transmitters inside each tire which measure contained air
pressure and temperature and transmit this data to a Full Function Display within view of the driver.
Having carried out the correct installation procedure (see Installation section in this manual), the SmarTire system is
ready to use.

Operation
How It Works
The system operates continuously, transmitting air pressure and temperature data,
• At approximately 5 minute intervals when the vehicle is moving faster than 6 mph, unless pressure
changes, then data is transmitted within 7 seconds.
• Every 15 minutes when the vehicle is parked and pressure drops to 18 PSI or lower.

Select a transmitter for a corresponding wheel location
(see chart). Pass strap through transmitter as shown.

The base of the drop centre well must be flat and wide
enough to allow the transmitter to contact the rim over
its complete width.
• Position the transmitter in the lowest area of the
drop centre well near the valve.
• Attach the strap end to the clamp by advancing
the wormgear with the socket driver. Tighten
to 30 inch pounds.
• Cut off excess strap length to approximately
one inch from the wormgear.
Attach the appropriate color of washer on the valve stem
as shown.
Proceed to mount the tire on the wheel.

Mounting Tire with Transmitter on Wheel
To avoid damaging the transmitter
during tire mounting, position the wheel
with the transmitter located at 7 o’clock
in relation to the mount head at 12
o’clock.
Set the lubricated tire on the wheel with
its traction point 3 in. before the
transmitter. Use the mount head to guide
the rest of the bottom bead over the
flange and onto the rim.
With the bottom bead in place, you will
be able to position the wheel with the
transmitter at 7 o’clock for most tires.
Depress the bead into the drop centre so
that the traction point is 3 in. before the
transmitter.
Some stiff side wall tires (such as “run-
flats” require setting the transmitter
between 3 o’clock and 6 o’clock. Start
the top bead in front of the mount head
assisting with the mounting bar to
prevent slippage.
Inflate the tire to seat the bead, deflate
completely and then inflate the tire to
manufacturer’s recommended cold
inflation pressure.
