Installation and Operation

Installing the Jaw Drive Bar and Spindle

1. If equipped, remove the threaded stub shaft
from the balancer using a 3/4” wrench.

2. Make sure the faceplate and motor shaft are
clean, then place the jaw drive bar onto the
motor shaft and secure it to the faceplate with
the 3/8-16 socket cap screws provided.
Tighten the screws.

Mounting a Motorcycle Wheel

Always try to use the stepped bearing adapters
when mounting wheels. Use the tapered cones
only if none of the stepped adapters provides an
exact fit into the wheel bearings.

1. If the wheel and drive assembly is too wide to
fit on the spindle, remove any sprocket or
drive shaft cushion hubs. Remove any axle
spacers if they came off the axle with the
wheel.

2. Find the stepped adapter or tapered cone that
best fits the wheel.

Tapered Cone

3. Slide the adapter or cone onto the spindle,
large end first.

4. Slide the wheel onto the spindle and guide it
over the previously installed adapter or cone.

5. Slide the other matching adapter or cone onto
the spindle and into the wheel bearing.

6. Slide the spacers onto the spindle as
necessary so the spindle nut can be
tightened. Install the spindle nut and tighten

by hand only.

7. Rotate the adapter so that one of the lock jaws
is facing the front of the balancer. Lift the
stopper from its holding position and allow
the lock jaw to come into contact with the
wheel.

8. Repeat step 7 for the other lock jaw.
