2. Installation of the ez-Wheel product

All mechanical drawings that could serve for the installation of
ez-Wheel products are available on request.

All the accessories mentioned are available in the ez-Wheel
catalogue.

The wheels and the tiller heads are designed to work together
according to the configuration described in the configuration
sheet delivered with the equipment.

□ Positioning/direction of operation

• Refer to the configuration sheet.

• Take the tiller head with the serial number mentioned on

the configuration sheet.

• Identify the serial numbers of the wheels given on the

configuration sheet.

• Prepare and position the corresponding wheels, as shown

on the configuration sheet

□ Mounting of the tiller head

• The tiller head must be held by the plate situated on the

back of the box.

• Fix the tiller head to the application in such a way as to

ensure that it is intuitive and ergonomic for the user to
handle it.

All mechanical drawings that could serve for the installation of
the tiller head are available on request.

□ Mounting of the wheel on the application

• Check that the tiller head is switched off: All lights are off.

• Check that the application on which the wheel is going to

be mounted has a spindle with a diameter of 16 mm, of
which the length corresponds to the thickness of the wheel,
for each wheel.

• Check the presence of a hexagon anti-rotation zone (XC

18 steel or equivalent hardness).

• Position the wheel on the spindle and make sure that the

hexagon zone of the wheel is correctly inserted in that of
the application.

• The optional ezMAR anti-rotation washer accessory can be

used.

Remove the M3 screw from the ezMAR washer with a 2.5
mm Allen key.

- Position the hexagon zone of the ezMAR clamp on the
wheel spindle. It is possible to use a mallet for this operation
but the wheel spindle must not be damaged in any
circumstances. Face A of the clamp should be against the
wheel.

- Tighten the M3 side screw with an Allen key to ensure that
the clamp is locked around the hexagon zone.

• Lock the wheel to the spindle with a screw on the side

opposite the hexagon zone (or both sides of the spindle if
the application is fitted with a fork or a yoke)

• Check the holding of the wheel before putting the tiller

head into operation.

• Repeat this operation for each wheel if the system has

several wheels.
