How To Use FCG-310
2.
To open the FCG-310, loosen the Knob Bolt then open the Frame with both hands.
3.
Look for the grooves on the inside of the Ratches that fix the angle when the Frame is opened.
Extend until the grooves meet and lock into place by pushing them each other.
4. Turn the Gauge Plate counter-clockwise to locate the hole at the down end side.
Put the Gauge Plate on the flat groove on the outside of the Ratch.
5.
Tighten the Knob Bolt, but you don't need to tighten it so firmly at this moment.
!
If the Gauge Plate doesn't fit to the flat groove
on the Ratch correctly, you won't be able to
measure properly. And also the Gauge Plate
will have to be bent.
Please be sure that the Gauge Plate cannot be
replaced due to the construction.
6. Attach the FCG-310 to the wheel as shown in Fig. A.
While keeping both Rim Guides touching the rim, loosen the Knob Bolt to slide down the
Gauge Plate, then tighten the Knob Bolt firmly to record the triangle point.
(Fig. A)
!
At this moment, make sure the following points;
• Both Rim Guides touch the rim.
• The wheel axle is running through the hole on the Gauge Plate, and the Gauge Plate touches
the hub. It is improper that measuring by attaching the gauge to the wheel axle end.
