As a general rule, you clamp steel Wheels internally (Clamps push out against Wheel) and custom
and mag Wheels externally (Clamps push in against outside Rim edge).
Clamps include polyurethane inserts on the inside of each Clamp that will not scratch or mar Rims
when clamping externally.
Check with your Supervisor if you are unclear about which method to use for a particular set of
Wheels.
To clamp externally
: Use the Clamps Foot Pedal to move the Clamps all the way out (they may
be all the way out already
)
, put the Wheel between the Clamps, then press down on the Clamps
Foot Pedal to move the Clamps in until the Wheel is being firmly held in place.
To clamp internally
: Use the Clamps Foot Pedal to move the Clamps all the way in (they may
be all the way in already), position the Wheel over the Clamps, then press down on the Clamps
Foot Pedal to move the Clamps out until the Wheel is being firmly held in place.
Note
: The Clamps Foot Pedal works as follows: If the Clamps are in the center of the Turntable
(all the way in), pressing down and then releasing the Clamps Foot Pedal moves them all
the way out. If the Clamps are all the way out, pressing down and then releasing the
Clamps Foot Pedal moves them all the way in.
•
Clamp Adjustment Knobs
. Move the Clamp between three different positions within the
Clamp Mechanism to accommodate Wheels of different sizes.
All four Clamps
must
be set the same.
To move a Clamp
: Pull out and hold out the Clamp Adjustment Knob closest to the direction
you want to move the Clamp, slide the Clamp in the desired direction, release the Clamp
Adjustment Knob.
If you want to move the Clamp again in the same direction, repeat the same procedure with the
other Clamp Adjustment Knob.
If the Clamp is in the center position, you can only move the Clamp one spot in either direction.
