AMMCO 800 On-The-Vehicle Brake Lathe • 13
Lathe to Vehicle Attachment
8.0
Attach a chatter band to the rotor as shown. This
will help reduce any unwanted vibrations while refin-
ishing the rotor, resulting in a better surface finish.
8.1
Always disconnect the twist-lock power cord
from the 800 brake lathe when attaching or removing
the lathe from the vehicle.
8.2.
Lock the runout adjustment head using the
lock pin (yellow).
8.3
It may be necessary to rotate the runout adjust-
ment head, using the motor handwheel, to engage
the lock pin (yellow).
8.4
To attach the 800 brake lathe to the vehicle,
approach the vehicle with the lathe tilted back on the
portable stand system. This provides an easy engage-
ment of the pilot nose into the hub adapter.
8.5
Once initial engagement has been accom-
plished, tilt the 800 brake lathe forward mating the
face of the lathe with the mounting face of the hub
adapter. It may be necessary to rotate the hub adapter
so the drive pin can engage one of the three drive
holes in the lathe runout adjustment head.
8.6
Screw the drivebar into the hub adapter using
the drivebar star knob (black). Hand tighten; a firm
hand tightening is all that is required.
