Verify Rotation and Speed

There are numerous ways to check rotation speed of a wheel. One way that we recommend is to tie
a white thin object, such as a tie-wrap around the hub. Power up the wheel and count the rotation of
the tie-wrap.
Optimal rotation for the Signature Series Top Wheel is between 112 – 120 RPM.

If the Signature Series Top Wheel is being controlled with an Integra Controller, the wheel speed can
be adjusted within the interface setup screen(s).

Verify Wheel Penetration
Be sure the wheel is spinning at the proper speed and in the proper direction.
Always check wheel penetration while the wheel is spinning. The initial wheel weight can be checked
using the supplied “fish-scale”. Hook the scale to the passenger side arm and raise the arm
perpendicular to the legs. Power up the wheel to verify the actual weight of penetration that the wheel
is applying to the vehicle surface.

Direction of travel

Notice Scale is hooked to passenger side arm
while arms are perpendicular to legs.

· Adding weights will decrease wheel weight thus creating less wheel penetration.
· Removing weights will increase wheel weight creating more wheel penetration.

BE AWARE OF THE AREA SURROUNDING A ROTATING PIECE OF
EQUIPMENT. OBJECTS MAY BECOME TANGLED WITH EQUIPMENT
AND COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

Verify Retract Pressure (if applicable)
With the wheel spinning, adjust the air pressure on the regulator located on the Photo-Eye Retract Air Panel. This will
adjust the speed that the wheel will raise off of the vehicle surface.
