Preparing the Quick-Nut
The Quick-Nut holds Wheels in place while the Tire is being demounted or mounted.
Note
: When the Quick-Nut and its Cones and Adapters are shipped from the factory, they are
coated with oil to protect them. Until you clean the oil off of them, either wear gloves, keep a
rag handy, or be prepared to wash your hands frequently.
The Quick-Nut has multiple parts.
The parts of the Quick-Nut and their functions are:
•
Handle
. Lets you easily pick up the Quick-Nut and move it around.
•
Quick-Release Lever
. Lets you quickly put on or take off the Quick-Nut. Twist both Levers to
prevent the Wings from engaging the threads in the Threaded Shaft; release when you want the
Wings to engage the Threaded Shaft.
•
Wing
. Used to tighten the Quick-Nut on, or loosen it from, the Threaded Shaft, depending on
whether you are securing the Wheel on the Turntable or taking the Wheel off the Turntable. After
securing a Wheel to the Turntable, fold up the Wings to get them out of the way.
•
Cones and Adapters
. The Quick-Nut has several different sized Cones and Adapters you can
use to firmly secure the Wheel in place. The two large metal Cones come with yellow plastic
protectors for securing aluminum rims (so you do not scratch or mar the rims).
•
Threaded Shaft
. Goes into the hole in the center of the Turntable, which holds the Wheel in
place.
There is a location on the Tire Changer to hold the Quick-Nut when it is not being used; refer to the
drawing in
Components
for the exact location.
