Attach the Targets/Pods
Attach the clamp/target assemblies to the
front wheels, with the target reflector surface
facing the rear of the vehicle.
The clamps with Pods go on the rear wheels
with the long end of the boom to the rear of
the vehicle. The Boom optics will need to
“See” the adjacent Pod Boom.
There are several methods of attachment
depending on the wheel lip configuration.
The integrated claws provide the versatility
needed to grab virtually any wheel. The claws
can be rotated to adjust for different wheel
configurations.
Claws may have sharp edges. To avoid
personal injury, use caution when working
with wheel clamps.
The clamps should be installed in a straight-
up vertical manner.
Use the mounting method that provides the
greatest security to keep the target or pod
from falling off the wheel. Most wheels can
be grabbed from the outside-in by placing the
claws between the bead of the tire and the
outside edge of the rim. Use the following
steps:
1. Extend the clamp outward to a size larger than the
rim by turning the knob counter clockwise.
2. Place the upper claws on the outside of the top of
the rim. Push the claws in between the tire bead
and the rim. It may be necessary to “pop” the upper
clamp bracket with the palm of your hand to seat
well. Note that it is not necessary for the clamp to
be mounted perfectly vertical on the wheel.
3. Tighten the clamp by turning the knob clockwise
until the lower claws engage the rim.
