Location of use: Wheel
Note
• After the wheel unit replacement, registration of the wheel unit identification codes must be performed. (See WHEEL UNIT ID REGISTRATION.)



Removal

1.Remove the valve core and bleed the air from the tire.

2.Break the upper/lower tire bead.

Note
• There are 2 types of procedures for breaking the tire bead.
― Method for rotating wheel against bead breaker (See Bead Breaking Note (Method for Rotating Wheel Against Bead Breaker).)
― Method for securing wheel (See Bead Breaking Note (Method for Securing Wheel).)

3.Remove the upper/lower bead using the following procedure.

(1)Install the wheel and tire to the turntable of the tire changer.
(2)Set the bead removal head to the position shown in the figure.

Caution
• Set the air pressure sensor to the position shown in the figure so that it does not get damaged.
(3)Rotate the turntable and remove the upper bead.
(4)Grasp the tire and slide it in the upward direction.

(6)Remove the lower bead.
Caution
• To prevent damaging the air pressure sensor, do not allow the tire lever to contact the air pressure sensor.

4.Remove the air pressure sensor from the wheel using the following procedure.

Caution
• To prevent damaging the air pressure sensor, remove the sensor housing before pulling out the valve.
Note
• Remove the air pressure sensor after the tire is completely removed from the wheel.
• If there is dirt on the air pressure sensor, wipe it off.
(1)Remove the screw.

5.Pull the air pressure sensor valve straight out of the valve hole as shown in the figure and secure the air pressure sensor to the wheel.

am3zzw00023002
Caution
• Pull the air pressure sensor valve straight out of the valve hole. If the air pressure sensor valve is pulled out in the wrong direction, excessive force could be applied to the valve and damage it.
• To prevent air leakage, install the valve so that there is no gap between the tip of the valve and wheel.
• To prevent damaging the air pressure sensor, do not apply impact to the wheel or pressure sensor.
Note
• Install the air pressure sensor so that it does not contact the inner side of the wheel.
• After applying soapy water, install within 5 min.
• Install the air pressure sensor to a clean and dry wheel with no burrs/file scratches on the valve hole.
• Do not use an air pressure sensor that has been damaged by being dropped from a 1 meter or more height.
• Always install the valve cap except when pumping air, bleeding air, and checking air pressure.

6.Verify that the air pressure sensor is installed parallel to the wheel as shown in the figure.

8.Install the tire to the wheel using the following procedure.

(1)Install the wheel to the turntable of the tire changer.
(2)Place the tire on the wheel.
Note
• Verify the rotation direction of the tire.
(3)Set the installation head to the location shown in the figure.

Caution
• Set the air pressure sensor to the position shown in the figure so that it does not get damaged.
(4)Rotate the turntable and install the lower bead.
Note
• If the upper bead slips on the wheel while installing the lower bead, stop rotating and install it again from the correct position.
(5)Install the upper bead using the same installation procedure for the lower bead.

9.Pump air into the tire.

Bead Breaking Note (Method for Rotating Wheel Against Bead Breaker)

1.Install the wheel and tire to the turntable of the tire changer.

2.Set the bead breaker against the air pressure sensor as shown in the figure.

am3zzw00023007
Caution
• Do not set the bead breaker outside of the area shown in the figure to prevent damaging the air pressure sensor.

3.Rotate the wheel and break the upper/lower bead.

am3zzw00023008
Caution
• Do not move the air pressure sensor outside of the area shown in the figure to prevent damaging the air pressure sensor.



Bead Breaking Note (Method for Securing Wheel)

1.Install the wheel and tire to the bead breaker.

2.Set the bead breaker against the air pressure sensor as shown in the figure.
