Preparation for installation

• Clean the discs: Thoroughly clean the discs from dirt and dust. This will help the caps to lock in better.
• Check the condition of the caps: make sure that the caps are not damaged and that all latches are intact.

Installation process

1. Compare the cap to the disc: Make sure the cap is the right size and shape for your disc.
2. Align the cap: Hold the cap so that the tabs point toward the disc and the nipple hole lines up with the wheel nipple.
3. Start the installation: gently press the cap so that the latches fit into the grooves on the disc.
4. Check fit: Make sure the cap is securely attached to the disc. Try to shake it a little.

Installation tips

• Do not apply excessive force: if the cap does not fit into place, do not press too hard. Check that you have oriented it correctly.
• Use protective gloves: to avoid scratching your hands.
• Check the fit after the ride: After the first ride, check how tight the caps are.

Possible problems and their solutions

• Cap won't stay in place: Check that the disc is clean, that the cap is correctly oriented, and that the latches are not damaged.
• The cap flies off while driving: the cap may be improperly installed or its latches may be damaged.
