Description

This is a set of (2)100 PSI Cat’s eye. With just a glance, dual tire pressures can be checked on efficient walk-arounds with the Cat’s Eye® tire pressure maintenance system. The Cat’s Eye makes it easy to see if your tires are underinflated. This system attaches to the dual’s hub or lug bolt and allows air transfer from one tire to the other. Its single airing point fills both tires at once, making the job quick, clean and easy. With just a glance, you’ll instantly see changes in tire pressure. The bright yellow “eye” of the Cat’s Eye, opens up slightly if dual tire pressure falls 10-15% below the recommended pressure setting. The internal check valve will prevent the good tire from going flat in the case of a tire blowout or a broken pressure hose.

Below is a list of basic operating tips for the Cat’s Eye tire pressure maintenance system. They can also be found in your Cat’s Eye installation instructions

1) The torque limit on the Cat’s Eye mounting bolt is 15 ft. lbs. Damage or leakage can occur if mounting bolt is over-tightened.

2) Bubble test to insure correct installation.

3) Valve stems must be in good condition to operate the Cat’s Eye.

4) Always insure that hoses are installed with minimal bending or “kinking”.

5) Do not use acid wheel wash. This will void the warranty.

6) When installing new or used tires, the inside of the tire must be clean and free of all materials, including wheel balancing compounds.

7) The Cat’s Eye is not recommended for steer axles.

E SAFE AND SAVE MONEY

According to Goodyear, under inflation is the #1 cause of tire failure. If the pressure in your duals is not the same, the diameter of the tires will differ. Since duals are bolted together, the smaller tire will be dragged. With just a 5% difference in PSI, the smaller tire will be dragged 13 feet every mile. That reduces MPG and increases the risk of a blow out.
