Avoid putting any extra stress on the transmitter unit or the metal stem. You may damage the sealing surfaces and cause the unit to leak. B) Do not use pliers to install the unit. It will damage the transmitter and the stem, voiding your warranty. C) There are situations that the following instruction is not applicable. This is because of the wide variety in the valves and rim designs on the market. It might be necessary to remove the wheel assembly from the vehicle in dual locations to have proper access to the valve. D) Some dual wheels are assembled with the valves located in the same location. This issue will restrict the installation especially on the alloy wheels with smaller opening around the valves. Furthermore it will cause difficulties programming the receiver unit since hand tool will activate both transmitters as they are side by side. E) Do not process with installation if unit cannot be assembled properly on the valve. F) It is highly recommended to use a proper torque wrench and do not exceed the specified torque. You can damage the internal gasket, damage your valve assembly on the rim or even make it loose. Unit may get unfastened after a while if installation toque is less than adequate. If a torque wrench is not handy use the supplied tool (ratcheting stubby flex wrench), bend the head 90º (to reduce the leverage) and use only one hand to tight it on the valve. 1.2 Required Steps 1- Remove the existing Valve Cap and make sure the valve tip and core are in good condition. Do not proceed with installation if there are any physical damages on the valve body, valve tip, or visible corrosion. (Figure 1) Figure-1 710.0080 SmarTire SmartWave External TPM Sensor Installation Guide Page 3 of 10 2- Clean the valve with soapy water, a clean cotton cloth, and dry it. Make sure no residue of dirt/dust is left on it. 3- Clean your hands. 4- Remove the transmitter from its package. 5- Remove the transmitter from its metal core. First open the nut and then simply twist and pull it apart. (Figure 2). Do not touch the black o-rings. Place the transmitter in a protected area so dirt and dust does not get to its internal cylinder. Figure-2 6- Inspect the stem and make sure it has four o-rings on the outside and one black gasket inside. (Figure 3) Figure-3 710.0080 SmarTire SmartWave External TPM Sensor Installation Guide Page 4 of 10 7- Install the metal stem on the valve by turning it slowly. Stop as soon as you heard a leak. Open the stem by rotating it back wards for about half-turn until leak stops. Do not touch the o-rings. 8- Assemble the transmitter unit on the stem by just pushing it in place. Make sure it is all the way down. 9- If there is enough room, reach the flat area on the stem and tight the unit using a 9mm short handle spanner wrench to 1.5N.m (-0 / +0.5). If there is not enough room go to step 10. 10- Reach the hex at the back of the stem and use a 12mm wrench to tight it on the valve to 1.5N.m (-0 / +0.5). If there is not enough room go to step 11. 11- Assemble the nut. Make sure its Hex side is facing out. Hand tight the nut in place. 12- Use a 12mm wrench and tight the hex nut 1.5N.m (-0 / +0.5). Unit initiates a slow leak but it will stop leaking after couple turns. 13- You can adjust the transmitter after by rotating it to have maximum clearance against the brake assembly. 14- Adjust the pressure on all the tires. Refer to your vehicle’s manual for proper inflation pressures for each axle/tire position. 15- Make sure units are not leaking by applying some foam around them while the tires are pressurized. 710.0080 SmarTire SmartWave External TPM Sensor Installation Guide Page 5 of 10 2.0 System Scope of Use and Warnings This tire monitoring system does not in any way replace the need for regular maintenance of the tire pressures and visual inspection of tires for damages. 2.1 System Installation and Usage Warranty of the SmarTire system requires that it has been properly installed and programmed by qualified personnel according to SmarTire Systems Inc. documentation. This includes all manuals and any supplementary installation instructions included with system components. 2.2 Use of Chemicals Use of temporary resealing or re-inflation products containing internal sealers or propellants in any tire/wheel assembly may adversely affect the operation of the Sensor/Transmitters and void the warranty. 2.3 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. 710.0080 SmarTire SmartWave External TPM Sensor Installation Guide Page 6 of 10 3.0 SmarTire Product & Service Part Warranty EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 15, 2005 This warranty is effective as of November 15, 2005 and supersedes all past warranties expressed by SmarTire Systems Inc.
