5.7.3 Car wheel in spike holder
If any holder other than the spike holder is mounted, it should be dismounted.
If the rim does not have a central hole, the spike holder should be used. Figure 5.12
presents four
stages of mounting a wheel onto the described holder.
Firstly,
depending
on
the
wheel,
all
muffs
should
be
checked
(5-^9
in fig. 5.11) to see which one fits best to die hole inside the rim. If none of them fit or there
is no hole inside the rim, the pad 4 in fig. 5.11 should be used. Secondly, the disc 1
in fig. 5.11 should be mounted onto the machine's spindle and screwed using the provided
bolt (12 in fig. 5.11) with the selected muff or pad, as presented in fig. 5.12(a).
Fig. 5.12 Mounting a wheel without a central hole on the spike holder.
Depending on the number of holes in the rim, place the spikes (2 in fig. 5.11) on the disc
according to the numbers imprinted on the back. For example, if the rim has 5 holes, all
spikes should be placed in holes which have the number 5 at the back of the disc
(fig- 5 .12(^)), if it has 6 holes, then 3 spikes should be placed in holes with the number 3at
the back of the disc and put into the rim through every second hole. The spikes should be
screwed using the provided nuts and washers in such manner that the spikes are firmly
screwed, but can be tightly rotated (first the flat washer, next the spring washer and lastly
the nut). If enough free space is available, place the plates onto the spikes with the
indentation facing outwards and set them in a position which makes it possible to put the
wheel on the holder (fig. 5.12(c)).
