The Tire Minder® should attach smoothly and with little
resistance. “Finger” tighten only - do not use tools. If the Tire
Minder® is difficult to install, it usually means the threads on the
wheels valve stem are damaged. Do not force the Tire Minder®! Have
the valve stem replaced.
Do not use under “off-road” conditions.
Avoid spilling gasoline or other caustic liquids on any part of
the Tire Minder®.
Do not use original Tire Minders with "non-pressurized" valve extenders.
If you find you are constantly 'topping up' one of the tires, we
suggest covering the Tire Minder® with soapy water to check for
leaks. This will tell you instantly if the Tire Minder® has been
damaged and needs to be replaced or if you need to take the tire to
a service center.
Remove and inspect for damage every 2 or 3 months: Be sure that
the black O-ring seal remains in the chamber of the Tire Minder®
after removal. Check that no foreign objects have entered the
chamber and that the clear acrylic top is in good condition. At this
time, you should check the actual tire pressure with a proper gauge
and top-up the air if necessary. It is quite normal for tires to
lose one pound per month (permeation).
Oil Changes/Service: We recommend removing all four Tire Minders®
before you take your vehicle in for service. We have had a number of
reports of owners mysteriously losing one or more, as well as
missing O-rings (when the car is picked up) which results in flat
tires.
When To Replace: As with any other actively working component of
your car, replacement at some point is recommended. Given the
extreme conditions under which the Tire Minder® operates (road salt,
ice/snow, desert sand/heat, gravel roads, etc.), only you can decide
when to replace all four units. As a general rule of thumb, you may
consider replacing them at 30,000 miles or annually.
