WARNING! Sensors in the retread curing chamber can create a fire hazard, due to the battery.

If the boot was installed using Cyber Bond glue: leave it intact through the retread process and pull out after the retread process is complete.
If the boot was installed using a REMA – Tip Top patch: leave it intact through the retread process and cut off the cup after the retread process is complete.
Always install a new rubber boot before reinstalling the sensor.

Each fleet must confirm their policy related to the sensors. The retreader must set up a manual process to support the fleet’s requirements.
Does the fleet want their same sensors back?
This requires the retreader to keep sensors for each customer separated
Should the sensors be placed back into the tires after retreading for further use?
This requires the retreader to install a new rubber boot to hold the sensor
Should the sensors be placed back into the same tire?
This requires a Hand Held Tool for identification of the sensors
