Mounting of Tire

CAUTION:

Before any tire mounting operation, make sure that the sensor has been correctly mounted and tightened to the rim.
No lubricant product or any other material may partially or completely cover the air pressure inlet hole of the sensor.
The assembly tools have to never have a collision with the sensor.
The tire cannot be in contact with the sensor only after it is engaged in the rim and after the exceeded peak of traction. Therefore, generally at the end of the assembly.

Prepare the tire and fix the rim as usual.
