2. Insert the nut over the valve stem and then tighten the nut.
3. Continue to tightening the nut until contact with the rim and then tighten to 3.5 - 4.5Nm.
CAUTION:
- Tighten slowly with quarter turn steps until the final torque is reached.
- Do not exceed allowed torque.
- Do not use electric or pneumatic tools.
4. Check that the sensor is firmly attached to the rim.
CAUTION:
