About Anti-Rolling Leg
You will see a retractable leg underneath the FT-1
body. This is for preventing the rolling down
problem due to the worse balance when a wheel sits
on the stand.
The hole on the leg is fixing FT-1 on your workbench
with a screw.
To retract the leg, loosen the triangle knob bolt, flip
out the leg, then tighten the knob again.
How To Fold Down
FT-1 is completely foldable for easier transport-
ation and compact storage.
To fold down, follow the steps;
1. Shut the Side Gauge as narrow as possible.
(if you don't want to change the gauge
clearance, you can leave it in current position)
2. Close the pillars by pushing inward from both
sides at same time.
3. Loosen the Lock Knob.
4. Fold the gauges
downward and push toward the
Pillars.
5. Tighten the Lock Knob.
6. Turn the Anti-Rolling Leg to store under the
body, then tighten the triangle head knob bolt.
!
Be careful not to pinch your fingers
between the body and stay.

!
Do not try to store the gauge bet-
ween the pillars.
If strong sideward shock is applied,
the plastic gauges should be broken.
Pillars
To open or close the pillars, hold them with both
hands and move at once.
If you move just one side pillar or push or pull
the pillar to different direction, your FT-1 should
be deformed.
This will cause a serious problem that FT-1 no
longer holds the wheel in proper angle and you
cannot expect correct result from wheel truing job.
Steps of Wheel Truing Job
Usually, wheel truing job is done with the
following steps.
Different job step may force you to re-adjust
the point you already done and it will take time
longer.
You need to think about the jobs totally. You
should not focus on just one point.
1. Vertical shaking adjustment

2. Side shaking adjustment
↓
3. Wheel symmetry check & Off-set
adjustment
↓
4. Spoke tension adjustment
You need to have a long fuse. Wheel truing job is
quite difficult for beginners and you should not
expect right result from just one action.
If you feel that you cannot finish it by yourself, it's
highly recommended to ask to a professional or
well-skilled mechanics.
Some shaking on the wheel is not problem for
your daily use, but be careful about the spoke
tension. Bad adjustment will cause serious
accident.
