Clamping of Alloy wheels
1.
Outer clamping is advised for Alloy wheel. Extend the clamp outward to
a size larger than the rim by turning the Wheel bracket knob in Anti-
clockwise direction.
2.
Place the upper Locking pins on the outside of the top of the rim. Push
the Locking pin in between the Tyre bead and the rim. It may be
necessary to "pop" the upper portion of the Wheel bracket with the palm
of your hand to seat well. Note that it is not necessary for the Wheel
bracket to be mounted perfectly vertical on the wheel.
3.
Push lower Locking pins into place. Again, it may be necessary to pop
them in further for security. Continue tightening knob until it is secured.
4.
Tighten the Wheel bracket by turning the knob in clockwise direction
until the lower Locking pins engage the rim.
5.
Ensure the mounting by pulling the Wheel bracket outwards. If it comes
off easily, re-mount the Wheel bracket properly.
Clamping of ordinary steel rim wheels

following steps:
1.
Extend the Wheel bracket inwards to a size smaller than the rim by
turning the Wheel bracket knob in clockwise direction.
2.
Place the lower locking pins on the wheel lip at the bottom of the wheel.
It is not necessary to be perfectly vertical.
3.
Tighten the Bracket by turning the knob in anti-clockwise direction until
the upper Locking pins engage the rim. Continue to tighten until the
Wheel bracket is secure.
4.
Test the security by pulling the Wheel bracket outwards. If it comes off
easily, re-mount the Wheel bracket.
