hand holes. Then continue one at a time engaging each hook into the other
hand holes. Note: You may have to loosen the Phillips head screws a little
before all the hooks will engage.
Step 2. Proper Engagement And Tightening
Make sure all the hooks have engaged into the proper hand holes of the wheel.
Next, begin alternating tightening each Phillips head screw a few turns. Very
Important: Look into the holes of the simulator where the hooks are and see
that the hooks are engaged onto the center portion of the wheel oval hand
holes. Next, carefully feel with your fingers through the holes in the simulator,
to make sure the mounting hooks are fully engaged onto the center of the
oval hand holes. As you continue alternating tightening each hook, keep your
fingers in the oval holes of the simulator where you're tightening to make sure
the hook stays engaged and in the center of the wheel oval hand holes.
Step 3. Verify Wheel Simulator Is Centered On Wheel
At this point stop alternating tightening the Phillips head screws, and check to
see that the simulator is being tightened evenly all the way around the simulator
and rim. Also check that the hand holes of the simulator align with the wheel
hand holes. Slide your hands around the edge of the simulator and rim, making
sure the simulator is evenly spaced all the way around the rim. If it's not even,
you may have to loosen the screws and readjust the simulator so that it is
centered around the rim and the hand holes align, then repeat the tightening
procedure in Step 2.
Step 4. Final Tightening Of Wheel Simulator
After final checking that the hooks are engaged into the center of the hand
holes of the wheel and the simulator is evenly spaced and true all the way
around the rim, then continue to alternate tightening the Phillips head screws
until the simulator is securely tightened to the wheel.
