• Retread Reason Codes used when sending a tire to retread
• Retread Design Codes used when receiving a retreaded tire
• RAR (Returned as Received) Codes used when receiving un-repaired or un-
retreaded tires
• Scrap Reason Codes used when disposing of a tire
To download data to the E.S.P. Unit, you need the Communicator program, the E.S.P.
Unit, and the E.S.P. Unit Cradle.
1. Call up the Communicator opening screen on your BIB TRACK computer.
