OPERATION INFORMATION

less after resurfacing, the rotor should be discarded 

and replaced. 

Mounting Adaptor

The correct adaptor for the vehicle being serviced can be 

quickly identified selecting the vehicle in the “Change 

Vehicle” button on the tablet. Rotor specifications, lug nut 

torque and other pertinent, vehicle-specific data can be 

found in the same place.

Mounting Options:

For 4-lug nut hubs use four lug nuts to secure the 
flange.
For 5-lug nut hubs, in most cases, three or four lug 
nuts will properly secure the flange.
For 6-lug nut hubs, three lug nuts will properly secure 
the flange, mounted on every other stud. This saves 
time, allows for clearance, and is stable enough for 
sufficient rigidity.
For 8-lug nut hubs, four lug nuts will properly secure 
the flange, mounted on every other stud. This saves 
time, allows for clearance, and is stable enough for 
sufficient rigidity.

If OE lug nuts interfere with mounting, use Accessory Kit 

20-1503-1.

Figure 23

1. Verify that all mounting areas are clean. Use a wire 

brush to remove rust build-up if necessary.

2. Attach the proper adaptor to the rotor face by using 

the vehicle’s lug nuts. Torque the lug nuts to 40 ft-lbs 

(maximum).

Mounting the lathe to the Vehicle

1. Mount the lathe the adaptor assembly. Line up the 

index pin on the compensation device with the index 

mark on the adaptor.

Figure 25

2. Tighten drawbar with the 22mm wrench provided 

with the lathe. Tighten the drawbar entirely and then 

back it off one wrench flat. It is important that all con

-

tact surfaces between the lathe and the hub flange 

assembly are clean to ensure proper alignment and 

fit. Double check adaptor and lathe alignment and all 

associated clearances.

Compensation Procedure

1. Press the “Comp” button to begin compensating. The 

LED next to the button will illuminate. 

Figure 26

The minimum refinish thickness 

specifications may be found in software or 

the specification cast into the rotor. Do not 

attempt to machine rotors that are already 

below discard or “service to” specifications, 

or that would fall below after machining.

Only mount the lathe to the adaptor with the e-

Stop button depressed
