TIRE - LOW PRESSURE INDICATOR VALVES


LINCOLN-MERCURY 1984 MARK VII (LSC SERIES)

The 1984 Mark VII (LSC Series) vehicles are equipped with low tire pressure indicator valve assemblies. When a tire is low, a red pin will be visible inside the clear plastic valve cover.

During predelivery inspection, it will be necessary to be sure these red pins are not visible after the normal tire pressure check. It is possible that a tire gauge or air chuck could cause the pins to stick in the exposed position. To reset the pin, exert finger pressure downward on the pin and quickly remove the finger when the pin is down in the valve assembly. If the pin will not reset after several tries, the valve assembly (Part Number E4LY- 1702-A) will have to be replaced.

CAUTION: ALWAYS COVER THE RED PIN WITH THE CLEAR PLASTIC VALVE CAP PROVIDED. THIS WILL PREVENT DUST OR MOISTURE FROM MAKING THE VALVE INOPERATIVE. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER TYPE OF CAP -- CAPS FOR CONVENTIONAL VALVES COULD RESULT IN COMPLETE LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRE. IF LOST OR DAMAGED, THE CLEAR PLASTIC CAPS (PART NUMBER E4LY-1720-A) SHOULD BE REPLACED. WHEN MOUNTING OR DISMOUNTING TIRES, KEEP MACHINE BEAD BREAKERS AND TIRE MOUNTING TOOLS AWAY FROM THE VALVE AREA TO PREVENT POSSIBLE VALVE BREAKAGE.
