C. Optional  Combi  Adapter—Can  be  used  for  3,  4,

5, 6, 8, or 10 lug wheels by installing the appropriate

number of swivel plates.

Figure 5 - Combi Adapter (optional)

1. Install a swivel plate over the adapter plate hole

marked 

3  4  5

and  secure  with  a  shoulder  bolt.

Align the mark on the plate with the dot on the

number gear. Do not tighten the bolt.

2. Install  swivel  plates  next  to  the  appropriate

numbers (next to the 3’s for 3 and 6 lug wheels,

the 4’s for 4 and 8 lug wheels, and the 5’s for 5

and  10  lug  wheels).  Align  the  marks  on  the

plates with the dots on the number gear. Secure

with a shoulder bolt, but do not tighten.

3. Attach  the  adapter  to  the  wheel.  Rotate  the

swivel plates until the lugs align with the holes in

the wheel.

4. Install the lug nuts and tighten with the adapter

wrench.  Use  a  crossing  (star)  pattern  to  tighten

the lug nuts. Reverse the lug nuts as necessary

for proper fit in the lug hole on the wheel.

5. Tighten the swivel plate shoulder bolts with the

allen wrench.

6. Align  the  bolts  on  the  back  of  the  adapter  with

the holes in the faceplate. Thread a faceplate nut

onto  each  bolt.  Hand  tighten  the  nuts  while

rotating the wheel to ensure proper centering.

The  lug  nuts  must  be
centered  and  threaded  at
least  four  full  turns.

Reverse the lug nuts as required for best fit. Use
only the adapter wrench furnished. Do not use air
tools or impact wrenches.

D. Optional  Light  Truck  Cone—Allows  secure

mounting of most light truck wheels.

1. Lift  wheel  onto  threaded  shaft.  Push  it  back

against the faceplate.

2. Slide  cone  onto  shaft,  and  center  in  wheel

center hole. The cone lip will help hold the wheel

while tightening the hub nut.

Figure 6 - Light Truck Cone (optional)

3. Thread  the  hub  nut  onto  the  shaft  and  tighten

against the cone completely. The wheel must be

forced firmly against the faceplate. The hub nut

must  engage  the  threads  for  at  least  three  full

turns.

Failure  to  tighten  the  hub
nut properly may result in
the  wheel  dismounting,

causing personal injury and property damage.
