Instructions

1. Using a hole gauge, position the hole gauge

probes firmly into consecutive wheel lug holes and
tighten the lock screw.

2. Remove the hole gauge and read the scale that

matches up with the number of lug holes as the wheel.
The measuring surface of the hole gauge lines up with
the scale mark that indicates the bolt circle pattern. Find
the fixed finger plate with the indicated bolt circle pat-
tern (see page 2)

3. Select the cone that best fits the center hole in the

wheel. Slide the back cone spring and the cone onto
the balancer shaft.

4. Lift the wheel onto the shaft and center it on the cone.

5. Next, align the fixed finger plate’s fingers with the

wheel lug holes.

6. Install the hub nut onto the shaft. Tighten securely.

Follow wheel balancer manufacturer’s recommended
procedure for balancing tires.
