TOP WHEEL Mix and Match

Startup

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 up and count the rotation
of the tie-wrap.

Optimal Rotation Speeds

Hydraulic Drive with Neo-Tex or Whisper Wheel 112-120 RPM Adjust using the hydraulic flow control
Hydraulic Drive with Brush 95-100 RPM Adjust using the hydraulic flow control
Electric Drive with Neo-Tex or Whisper Wheel 116 RPM Verify proper gearbox
Electric Drive with Brush 116 RPM Verify proper gearbox

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 arm
perpendicular to the legs. Power up the wheel to verify the actual weight of penetration the wheel is
applying to the vehicle surface.

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

Direction of travel

The wheel weight can be adjusted three ways
· Sliding the internal arm weights shown below

· Removing one of the sliding weights from the passenger side arm
· Adding weights; which will decrease wheel weight thus creating less wheel penetration
· Removing weights; which will increase wheel weight creating more wheel penetration
