Ensure that the tool's arms are evenly positioned around the hub and that the central bolt is aligned with the center of the hub. This will provide balanced force distribution during separation.
Always wear safety goggles and gloves to protect against debris. Ensure that the vehicle is securely elevated and stable before use. Keep a safe distance from the tool while it's in operation.
The tool is designed for universal application but ensure it is compatible with the specific hub size and type of your vehicle. Refer to the vehicle's manual for compatibility.
Check if the arms are correctly adjusted to fit the hub. If the tool is still incompatible, verify the hub size and consider using a different model suitable for your specific hub.
Regularly clean the tool after each use to remove debris. Lubricate the moving parts and check for wear and tear. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent rust.
Ensure the central bolt is tightened correctly and that the arms are not slipping. Check for any obstructions or damage to the tool that may impede its function.
Make sure the tool is properly aligned and apply force gradually. Stop immediately if you notice any signs of damage or excessive resistance.
Utilize extensions or adapters if available, and ensure the tool is securely fixed before applying force. Consider repositioning the vehicle for better access if necessary.
Inspect the arms for wear or damage. Adjust the arms to ensure they are evenly distributed and tightly secured around the hub. Replace any worn components if necessary.
Inspect the tool before and after each use. Regular maintenance checks should be conducted monthly to ensure all parts are functioning correctly and safely.
