Standard Front Cone Mounting
Can be used with all cones (do not use spring). This
method works well with most truck wheels where the
bolt circle is less than 275 mm.
1. Select a cone that best fits into wheel center hole.
2. Lift wheel onto threaded shaft.
3. Slide selected cone onto shaft with the small end
against the wheel.
4. By lifting wheel from bottom, center on cone.
5. Thread hubnut on and tighten with hubnut wrench.
If hubnut won’t tighten all the way down, remove cone
and wheel. Slide truck cone spacer over faceplate and
repeat steps 2 thru 5. The wheel must be forced firmly
against the faceplate.
6. If you still can’t tighten hubnut because of a lack
of threads, use an additional cone to act as a spacer
between the hubnut and existing cone.

Combi Adapter (Optional)
1. Determine the correct hole pattern by comparing
the rim to the adapter. Wheels with the largest bolt cir-
cle (335 mm) should be fastened to the large diameter
side of the reversible adapter - all others should be fas-
tened to the small diameter side (see illustration below).
2. Fasten threaded studs from back of adapter
using the 5/16 Allen wrench. Leave enough threads to
securely fasten hex nuts and lock washers.
3. Slide lock washers on. Hold the studs in place with
the 5/16 Allen wrench while threading the hex nuts on,
then tighten them down with a 5/16 wrench.
4. Mount the adapter onto the faceplate by inserting
the two (2) drive pins of the adapter into the matching
holes in the faceplate.
5. Slide truck cone onto shaft with the small end
inside the center hole of the adapter. Mount by front
cone method only.
6. Thread hubnut on and tighten with hubnut wrench.
The adapter must be forced firmly against the faceplate.
7. Mount the wheel onto the adapter’s lugs. Fasten
wing nuts by hand then securely tighten them with a
rubber mallet. Wheel must be forced firmly against the
faceplate.
CAUTION
Wing nuts must engage threads for at least
six full turns. Hubnut and cone must force
wheel and adapter firmly against the face-
plate. Failure to tighten hubnut or wing-
nuts securely may result in serious personal
injury.
