PART NO : CA0034

COLOUR : YELLOW

SIZE : 32mm
All sizes are measured across the flat (a/f) of the nut in mm.

PRIMARY FUNCTIONS:
To provides a clear indication of nut movement and overheating.

PRIMARY BENEFITS:
Improved safety of nut fittings, facilitates quick and easy visual checks and audits. A cost effective solution reducing maintenance costs and saving time.

MATERIAL GRADE:
Manufactured from Polyethylene. This special grade is suitable for heavy-duty applications such as high load urban duty cycle service or where full axle loading is the norm.

Is designed to distort and melt at a vehicle hub/stud temperature of 125 degrees centigrade.

The material used is UV stabilised. It is therefore dimensionally stable. The polymer does not degrade in sunlight. Can be cleaned using any of the available vehicle cleaning agents, detergent solutions or paraffins.

High resistance to road salts or petrochemicals. The pointer being large, it is highly visible even when coated with road or operational grime.

RECOMMENDED FITTING:
Fix to the wheel nut by gripping the six corners of the hexagon of the wheel nut. When the wheel is being fitted out the pointers should be aligned and set in a recognisable pattern. Should a wheel nut loosen off, the Indicator has no option but to move with the nut and so break the recognisable pattern that was set, thus indicating the wheel nut has begun to rotate and therefore to loosen.

The most commonly used patterns are:

Any patterned configuration may be used so long as the movement away from the set pattern of one or more of the indicators will be clearly visible on inspection.

Important Reminder - When arranging the pattern you will use as the layout for the indicators on the wheel, that should a wheel nut loosen off, the pointer needs room to move to indicate that the wheel nut has moved; this is normally anti clockwise. The length of the pointer should not therefore be aligned against the wheel rim profile, which could restrict movement.
