I have a decent idea how to use it, but the instruction decals are damaged. Step one is in OK shape, but Step 2 is about half gone. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 | | | | | | Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 235 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 235 | I have not seen one of those in years. I never used one before, but have seen my old Boss use it a few times. Once you get the tire up to speed, point the strobe at the bottom of the tire and the spot the strobe light up is the place to put the weight. The higher the needle is on the gauge, the more weight you put on. Good luck. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 | Yeah, I've watched them used on large trucks when I still worked for Hunter. I was just trying to figure out if the Alemite had any particular quirks. Once I sit down and mess with it, I'll get it working right. | | |
