• Dual-Cone Mounting . Generally used only for some aftermarket or OEM performance Wheels
that have a center hole that is deep enough to allow the use of
two
cones on the Shaft.
The Spring goes on first, then an appropriately sized Cone, the Wheel, a second appropriately
sized Cone, and finally the Quick Nut.
To mount a Wheel :
Make sure you are wearing ANSI-approved eye protection: safety glasses, face shield, or goggles.
Determine which mounting method you want to use.
Move the Wheel you are going to mount next to the Shaft.
Select the Mounting Cone that best fits the center hole of the Wheel.
If Rear-Cone or Dual-Cone Mounting, put the Spring and the desired Cone onto the Shaft.
Lift the Wheel and put it onto the Shaft, then slide it back towards the Shaft Flange.
You may need to lift the Wheel slightly when positioning a Cone in the center hole of the Wheel.
Note
: Avoid dragging the Wheel over the Shaft Threads.
While holding the Wheel and other hardware in place, slide the Quick Nut over the Shaft while
holding the Quick-Release Levers next to the Wings.
Holding the Quick-Release Levers next to the Wings lets you quickly slide the Quick Nut into
position near the Wheel.
Release the Quick-Release Levers.
Turn the Wings to fully tighten the Quick Nut, and thus the Wheel, in place.
You may want to spin the Wheel some as you tighten the Quick Nut; this can help you get a
strong, secure fit.
Important : Do not hammer or hit the Quick Nut to tighten it. You will damage the Quick Nut, which
is not covered under the Warranty.
