4. Installation Instructions

The installation method varies depending on whether your tire is tubeless or uses an inner tube. Ensure you follow the correct procedure for your tire type.

4.1. For Tubeless Tires

1. Determine the correct quantity of PrecisionBalance needed for your tire size by consulting the application charts in Section 5.
2. Open the tire bead to access the inside of the tire.
3. Place the entire inner bag of PrecisionBalance directly into the tire. Do not open the inner bag. The inner bag is designed to dissolve or break down inside the tire.
4. Re-seat the tire bead and inflate the tire to the manufacturer's recommended pressure.
5. Replace the old valve core with the new PrecisionBalance Valve Core and secure it with the PrecisionBalance Valve Cap.

4.2. For Inner Tube Type Tires

1. Determine the correct quantity of PrecisionBalance needed for your tire size by consulting the application charts in Section 5.
2. Remove the valve core from the valve stem.
3. Using an approved injector tool (not included), inject the PrecisionBalance compound through the valve stem. Follow the instructions provided with your injector tool.
4. Once the compound is injected, replace the old valve core with the new PrecisionBalance Valve Core and secure it with the PrecisionBalance Valve Cap.
5. Inflate the tire to the manufacturer's recommended pressure.

Important Note: The manufacturers of PrecisionBalance disclaim any responsibility for air loss or tire damage due to improper installation or air check. Always ensure proper installation techniques are followed.

6. Maintenance

Once installed, PrecisionBalance works continuously to maintain tire balance. Regular tire maintenance practices should still be followed:

• Tire Pressure: Regularly check and maintain correct tire pressure as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
• Tire Inspection: Periodically inspect tires for wear, damage, or foreign objects.
• Valve Components: Ensure the PrecisionBalance Valve Cap is securely fastened to prevent dirt and moisture from entering the valve stem.

7. Troubleshooting

PrecisionBalance is designed for trouble-free operation. If you experience persistent vibration or balancing issues after installation, consider the following:

• Correct Quantity: Double-check the application charts (Section 5) to ensure the correct amount of PrecisionBalance was installed for your tire size.
• Proper Installation: Verify that the installation steps were followed precisely, especially regarding the inner bag for tubeless tires or the injector tool for inner tube tires.
• Tire Condition: Inspect the tire for any structural damage, uneven wear, or other issues that might affect balance.
• Other Vehicle Components: Persistent vibration might also be caused by issues unrelated to tire balance, such as worn suspension components, steering issues, or brake problems. Consult a professional mechanic if the issue persists.
