Mounting the TLT–28 Wheel Clamps
The wheel clamps, (Fig 12) can be attached to either the inside or the outside of the rim
(whichever is easiest). They can be mounted on a wheel rim 17 inches to 25 inches in
diameter, and the aluminum feet are less likely to damage polished aluminum rims.
Mounting the Wheel Clamps
:
1)
Adjust the clamping knob either in or out until the feet will fit the wheel rim.
2)
Rotate the mounting feet until they are all facing either the inside or outside of the
rim. (This depends upon which side of the rim the wheel clamps are mounted.)
3)
Place the mounting feet onto the rim. Make sure they are all attached to the rim.
4)
Use the clamping knob to tighten the feet to the rim.
5)
Make sure the mounting feet are securely on the rim. If they are not securely
attached, tap each leg with the palm of your hand and tighten the feet a little more
with the clamping knob. (Repeat this process, until the mounting feet are secure.)
6)
Perform the run-out procedure on the appropriate wheel clamps.
Note
: Although the slide plate assembly is usually centered, for a large diameter tire, you
can loosen the locking screws and move the slide plate to the edge of wheel clamp; then,
tighten the locking screws. This will assure that the laser will shoot across the rear of the
tires.
Do this before performing run-out.
All the gauges are to be hung on the mounting disk of each wheel clamp. The disk does
not need to be centered on the wheel, and the wheel clamp can be at any rotation on the
wheel. When the wheel clamps have been adjusted for run-out, they rotate along the same
axis as the wheel.
Finally, the three knobs that are just underneath the disk are used, in conjunction with the
TLT-30, to adjust for run-out. The RED knob will adjust the vertical angle of the disk
and, the two BLACK knobs will adjust the horizontal angle of the disk. For example:
when the adjustment knob is either in the 12 o’clock or 6 o’clock position, use the RED
knob to make adjustments. Or, when the Red adjustment knob is either in the 3 o’clock or
9 o’clock position, use the two BLACK knobs to make adjustments.
