WHEEL NUT INDICATORS 08 1621 NZ. pub. 09/17 © When fitted on the wheel nut it will indicate a loosening by movement of the pointer. Suitable for wheels with exposed nuts. To suit 4x4, light commercial and mine specification applications. The Wheel Nut Indicator is fixed to the wheel nut by gripping the six corners of the hexagon. When the wheel is being fitted out the Indicator 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 pattern, thus indicating the wheel nut has begun to rotate and therefore loosen. An additional safety feature is that they are designed to distort and melt at a vehicle hub/stud temperature of 125 degrees centigrade. Providing an indication of a hot wheel condition, e.g. if a brake is binding or a bearing collapsing. Material: The Wheel Nut Indicators are 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. The material used is a virgin polymer and is UV stabilised. It is therefore dimensionally stable. The polymer does not degrade in sunlight. They can be cleaned using any of the available vehicle cleaning agents, detergent solutions or paraffin’s. The Indicators are not attacked by road salts or petrochemicals. The pointer being large, it is highly visible even when coated with road or operational grime. Advantages: • Reduces the risk of wheel detachment accidents, which protects the public and helps prevent property and load damage. • Vehicle wheel safety checks are made simple by making them visual. • Quickly identifies a hot wheel condition, possibly caused by bearing failure or brake drag. • Assists in fleet maintenance and safety. • Decreased equipment down time and operational costs. • Demonstrates a fleet operator’s commitment towards vehicle safety. • Facilitates easy roadside inspections. • Easy to install.

Torque wheel nuts to required specifications. 2. Ensure correct Indicator size by measuring nut from flat to flat. 3. Place one Wheel Nut Indicator over each nut with the raise collar resting against the wheel. Push with both thumbs or a socket flush to the wheel. (Placing the collar towards the wheel provides room for gripping when removal is required.) 4. Confirm a pattern has been followed.
