4.2WHEELMOUNTING
Nearly all standard wheels and many alloy wheels have
accurately machined center holes, and they should be
mounted with center cones. Accurate balancing
dependsonaccuratemountingofthewheelandcorrect
seating of the cone in the pilot hole. Insure that the
wheel is centered on the shaft exactly as it will be
mountedtothevehicle.
Before starting any balancing procedure it is very
important that the wheel is mounted on the machine
with the proper adaptors. Anincorrect centering of the
wheelwillresultinconsiderableimbalance.
There are many types of wheels and Snap‐on supplies
adaptors of good quality and durability for the large
