as shown in Figure 2.

Operating Instructions
1.

Prior to use check to make
certain that the Axle is straight,
without any bends or damage.
Back off both Socket Set Screw (12) and
slide off one of the Centering Cones (4) from
Axle (5). Support the wheel of the motorcycle
in an upright position and slide the Axle (5)
through the wheel hub and replace the
Cone. Center the wheel on the Axle and
slide both Cones securely against the hub.
Tighten the Socket Cap Screws (12).

Lift the wheel and position the Axle over
the Rollers (6). Gently spin the wheel. The
heavier side would roll to the bottom. With
a chalk mark the tire at the upper most
location (across from the heavy side).

Lift the wheel assembly from the
stand and place on the floor. Attach a
balancing weight (not supplied) to the
inner edge of the rim and reposition the
wheel assembly over the Rollers (6).

NOTE: Use lightest possible weights.
With try and error, you should be able to
establish approximate required weights.
5.

Gently spin the tire. Repeat steps 3 and 4
placing balancing weights on
alternative sides of the tire rim.

Continue to counter balance the wheel until
it spins evenly and does not repeatedly
stop at any specific point of its rotation.

Once the wheel is balanced, remove the
assembly and place on the floor, back off
one Socket Set Screw (12) and remove
the Centering Cone (4). Remove the Axle,
replace the Cone and tighten the screw.
Place the axle on the rollers.

and Rollers with grease.

Replacing Rollers
1.

Rollers (6) and Bearings (7) can be replaced
