On most wheels, the inner side of the wheel hub usually has the most uniform surface for wheel
balancing. Always center the wheel by the most uniform shaped side of the hub to achieve the
most accurate balance.
•
Regardless of mounting type, always make sure that the wheel is forced firmly against the shaft
faceplate and that the quick locking nut is tightened. To assist in centering the wheel properly,
rotate the wheel and the shaft while tightening the nut.
6.2.1
STANDARD BACK CONE MOUNTING (ref. Fig. 10)
Carefully clean the component surface before performing any operation.
Most steel wheels can be mounted properly using this method. The wheel is centered on a cone from
the inner side of the hub.

elect the cone that best fits the centre
hole in the wheels. Slide the cone onto
the shaft with the large end towards the
faceplate.

ift the wheel onto the shaft and centre it
on the cone.

ttach the pressure cup to the quick
locking nut and install the assembly onto
the shaft. Tighten securely.
6.2.2 STANDARD FRONT CONE MOUTING (ref. Fig. 11)
A wheel should be centered by the outer side of the hub only when the inner surface will not provide
an accurate surface to center on.
•
S
elect the cone that best fits the center
hole in the wheel.
•
L
ift the wheel onto the shaft and slide it
back against the shaft faceplate.
•
Slide the cone onto the shaft and into the
center of the wheel. You will need to lift
the wheel to seat the cone in the centre
hole.

nstall the quick locking nut (without the
pressure cup) onto the shaft. Tighten
securely against the cone
