1. Remove the wheel from the vehicle and then remove the tire.
2. Wrap the strap around the rim in the lowest point of the drop center well

4. With the strap and sensor positioned in
the lowest point of the center well, feed
the end of the strap into the worm gear
and pull it tight. Orient the sensor so that
it is positioned at the valve with the worm
gear 4" (10 cm) away from the edge of
the sensor. The sensor MUST always
be installed at the valve in order to know
its approximate location after the tire has
been mounted.

5. Tighten the strap using a 5/16" (8 mm) hexagon driver until the sensor
can not be moved. Reference torque: 35 in-lbs (4 Nm).
CAUTION: Do not over tighten the strap.

applying the supplied rim label to a
clean and dry location on the rim.
