5 INSTALLATION

5.1 Fitting the Wheelpilot

With correct preparation, the Wheelpilot can be installed in

under an hour. However, it is important that it is fitted correct-

ly to operate to its maximum efficiency. Please read this sec-

tion thoroughly before attempting installation.

The pedestal mount is fixed to the pedestal using two band

clamps. The Wheelpilot’s two metal guide rods slide into slots

on either side of the mount. No holes need to be drilled for

installation, and it can be easily and quickly removed.

The pedestal mount will fit most pedestals 100–140mm (4.0–

5.5in) diameter. Two packing pieces are supplied for use with a

standard 100mm (4.0in) pedestal (Fig 5.1). The pedestal mount

has three sets of band clamp slots to suit the pedestal size (Fig

5.2). For pedestals over 140mm (5.5in), a larger mount is avail-

able as a separate accessory (part PED200:BK).

The two guide rods are not fitted to the Wheelpilot itself when

supplied and will need to be attached. As these will support

any loads the Wheelpilot is subjected to, it is important that

they are securely fitted. The ends of the rods have flats on

them, which will allow a 12mm spanner to be used to tighten

them (Fig 5.3).

1. Remove the wheel.

2. Position the pedestal mount on the front of the pedestal.

The vertical distance between the circular slot centres and the

wheel shaft should be 125mm (5.0in) and the clamp should be

exactly parallel with the wheel in both planes (Fig 5.4).
