Rough or abusive use or damage in shipping may cause inaccurate dishing. To verify the accuracy of your
stand, follow this procedure:
Inspect the stand carefully to check for parts that are obviously loose, worn, bent, or otherwise damaged.
Tighten, repair, or replace parts as necessary.
Sight down the front of the stand. The top edge of the caliper mounting plate must be parallel to the main
shaft. If it is not, place a large adjustable wrench across the plate and twist as necessary to bring it into
alignment.
A perfectly dished wheel is necessary to determine if the wheel is in the center of the stand. Use a wheel
alignment gauge such as a Park Tool WAG-1 to confirm the accuracy of the wheel.
Place the wheel in the stand and rotate the upright adjustment knob until the uprights just TOUCH the
locknuts on the hub. Accurately measure the distance between the outer edge of the rim and the left and
right base uprights. The measurement must be the same on both sides. If the measurements are
different, loosen the socket head cap screws in the shaft collars on the main shaft. Gently tap or pull the
uprights sideways until the measurements are the same on both sides. Retighten the socket head cap
screws.
After the previous adjustments have been made, rotate the caliper arm adjusting knob to raise the arm
until the calipers are close to the rim. Open or close the calipers as necessary using the caliper adjusting
knob to check that the rim is centered in the notch formed by the two calipers. If the rim is not centered,
loosen the caliper arm nut on one end of the caliper arm pivot shaft and tighten the opposite nut an equal
amount. This will shift the entire caliper arm assembly left or right to center the rim between the calipers.
