Removing tires





- Turn the wheel on tire mounting device so that valve/ tire pressure sensor is in front of mounting head.

- Position mounting head in vicinity of tire valve/ tire pressure sensor so that tire iron can be put on approximately 30° next to tire valve/ tire pressure sensor.

- Now pry tire bead over mounting finger on mounting head using tire iron and remove tire iron again.

- Let the tire dismounting/mounting machine run clockwise until upper bead lies completely above the rim flange.

- Turn the wheel on tire mounting device so that valve/ tire pressure sensor is in front of mounting head.

Check tire pressure sensor for loose or damaged parts. If threaded connections are loose, union nut, valve insert, seal, sealing washer and valve cap must be replaced by new parts from repair set => Electronic Replacement Parts Catalog "ETKA".

If tire pressure sensor is damaged, then it must be replaced completely.
