12.0 FITTING THE WHEEL ON THE
MANDREL
To achieve perfect balancing, the wheel must be care-
fully and properly fitted on the mandrel. Imperfect
centring will inevitably cause unbalances.
MOST IMPORTANT IS THAT ORIGI-
NAL CONES AND ACCESSORIES
ARE USED MADE SPECIFICALLY
FOR USE ON THE WHEEL BAL-
ANCER.
Wheel fitting using the cones provided is illustrated be-
low. For alternative fittings, using optional accessories,
refer to the special instructions provided separately.
12.1 Fitting of the wheel (
1. Remove any type of foreign body from the wheel
(Fig. 25 ref. 3): pre-existing weights, stones and
mud, and make sure the mandrel (Fig. 25 ref. 1)
and the rim centring area are clean before fitting
the wheel on the mandrel.
2. Carefully choose the cone (Fig. 25 ref. 2) most suit-
able for the wheel to be balanced. These accessories
must be selected according to the shape of the rim.
Position the wheel (Fig. 25 ref. 3), fitting the cone
(Fig. 25 ref. 2) on the mandrel (Fig. 25 ref. 1): be
careful (otherwise this could seize) until this rests
against the support flange (Fig. 25 ref. 4).
3. Fit the wheel with the inner side of the rim towards
the wheel balancer and against the cone.

4. Fit the protection cap (Fig. 26 ref. 1) in the locknut
(Fig. 26 ref. 2) and fasten against the wheel.
Some aluminium wheels, with very high centring, must
be fitted with the cone outside the wheel.
5. Clean the mandrel (Fig. 27 ref. 1) before fitting
the wheel.
6. Fit the wheel (Fig. 27 ref. 3) with the inside of the
rim towards the wheel balancer, until the wheel is
up against the support flange (Fig. 27 ref. 2).
