User Information
The Cat's Eye is intended to maintain equal pressure
between dual tires and should not be used for any
other purpose.
OPERATING TIPS
The torque limit on the Cat's Eye mounting bolt is
15 FT-LBS. Damage or leaks can occur if mounting
bolt is overtightened.
Bubble test to insure correct installation.
Valve stems must be in good condition to operate
the Cat's Eye.
Always insure that hoses are installed with
minimal bending or "kinking".
Do not use acid wheel wash. This will void the
Cat's Eye warranty.
When installing new or used tires, the inside of
the tire must be clean and free of all materials,
including wheel balancing compounds.
The Cat's Eye is not recommended for steer axles.
