MOUNTING TR-28 WHEEL CLAMPS
The wheel clamps can be attached to either the inside or the outside of the rim (whichever is
easiest). They can be mounted on a wheel rim 10 inches to 20 inches in diameter, and the
aluminum feet are less likely to damage polished aluminum rims.
Mounting the Wheel Clamps
:
1)
Adjust the installation 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 installation 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 installation
knob.(Repeat this process, until the mounting feet are secure.)
6)
Perform the runout procedure on the appropriate wheel clamps.
Note
: Although the slide plate assembly is usually centered, for a large diameter wheel, 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 TR-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 adjustments. Or, when the adjustment
knob is either in the 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock position, use the two BLACK knobs to make
adjustments.
Mounting the Hub Adapters
Our hub adapters mount easily to the hubs. Simply remove the dust covers from the hubs and
replace them with the hub adapters.
