Standard Front Cone Mounting
A wheel should be centered by the outer side of the
hub only when the inner surface will not provide an
accurate surface to center on.
Figure 14 - Front Cone Mounting
1. Select the cone that best fits the center hole in
the wheel.
2. Lift the wheel onto the balancer shaft and slide it
back against the faceplate.
3. Slide the cone onto the shaft and into the center
hole of the wheel. You will need to lift the tire to seat
the cone in the center hole.
4. Install the hub nut (without pressure cup) onto the
shaft. Tighten it securely against the cone. The hub nut
must engage the threads for at least four full turns.
Note: If the hub nut will not tighten completely
because of a lack of threads, use an additional cone as
a spacer between the mounting cone and the hub nut.
The wheel must be forced firmly against the faceplate.
Alternate Mounting
If the wheel has a protruding outer hub which will not
permit the use of the pressure cup, or the cup will not
permit the hub nut to engage at least four turns of the
shaft, this alternate method should be used.
Figure 15 - Alternate Mounting
1. Place the cone spring onto the balancer shaft with
the large end towards the faceplate.
2. Select the cone that best fits the center hole in the
wheel. Slide the cone onto the shaft with the large end
towards the faceplate.
3. Lift wheel onto the shaft and center it on the cone.
4. Use the small nylon spacer (no-mar ring) or a
centering cone to press against the outer wheel hub.
5. Install the hub nut (without the pressure cup) onto
the shaft. Tighten securely.
