3.4 Re-mounting Tires After A Sensor Has Been Installed

Please read this section carefully and follow each step precisely to ensure you do not damage the sensor when mounting the tire. If steps are not taken to avoid the sensor located in the drop center well of the rim, it can be damaged by tire beads as the tire is mounted.

3.4.1 Internal Tire Sensor Servicing

SmarTire® TPMS tire sensors are designed to be serviceable if damage occurs during the mounting or de-mounting process. Each sensor is mounted inside a break-away cradle that is designed to absorb the impact of damage during the tire mounting / de-mounting process. If damage occurs, the inexpensive cradle will break instead of the tire sensor.

If a sensor cradle is damaged, it along with the mounting strap must be replaced. Carefully remove the tire sensor from the damaged cradle, re-insert it into a new cradle (Bendix part number 264.00228N), and then continue the mounting process.
