Zafety Lug Lock™ • Revolutionary new safety product • Setting new standards in wheel management • Helps prevent lug nut loosening • Reduces risk of potential wheel loss • Decreases the possibility of costly wheel damage
Zafety Lug Lock™ • Wheel nuts loosen as a result of temperature change and wheel vibration. • Zafety Lug Lock™creates resistance between2 nuts minimizing their ability to rotate & loosen. • Designed for use on all wheels with 1-5/16 inch (33mm) nuts on 3.5 inch stud centers. • Easily installs over 2 adjacent nuts.
Zafety Lug Lock™ • Pre-trip inspection requires confirmation of secure wheel lug nuts • Rules apply to all public transit & commercial buses, trucks, trailers • Zafety Lug Lock™provides a clear, visual check of lug nut position* * The installation of Zafety Lug Lock™does not preclude the need for standard safety & maintenance procedures
Zafety Lug Lock™ Fleet and Driver liability is a critical issue: • NHTSA records show 1,000 reported accidents resulting from wheel loss in 2008. • Many wheel loss incidents go unreported. • $6.25 million civil award in a California personal injury accident from a wheel off.
Zafety Lug Lock™ Benefits • Provides a clear visual check of lug nut security • Reduces risk of wheel loss and potential liability for personal injury, loss of life or property damage • Reduces need for replacement lug nuts and reduces expensive wheel damage • Economical to outfit commercial vehicles • Reusable on replacement wheels
Zafety Lug Lock™ Features • Flexible and easy to install - fits over two adjacent nuts • Field tested at high and low rotation levels • Lab tested in severe vibration conditions from -400 F to +1220F (-400C to +500C) • designed to be used on wheels with 1-5/16 inch (33mm) nuts on 3.5 inch stud centers • available in custom colors
Zafety Lug Lock™ temperature and vibration testing Testing performed by Bodycote Testing Group Parameters: 1. Three Zafety Lug Lock™units tested 2. Temperature testing at 25⁰C (77⁰F) , 50⁰C (122⁰F) and - 40⁰C (-40⁰F) 3. Vibration test at 30 Hz and 3 g acceleration amplitude 4. Each segment of the test was two hours with a total duration of 6 hours
Zafety Lug Lock™ temperature and vibration testing TEST PROCEDURE: • 4 nuts tightened to spec (450-500 psi) • 2 nuts hand tightened • White line applied to nuts and bolts to identify positioning • Vibration at specific temperature for 2 hours • Visual inspection of Zafety Lug Lock™unitsand nuts for any changes
Zafety Lug Lock™ temperature and vibration testing TEST PROCEDURE: 2 nuts hand tightened White line for alignment Figure 4A: Photos of Zafety Lug Lock prior to vibration test at 50⁰C
TEST REPORT: Zafety Lug Lock™ prevented nuts from loosening in vibration and temperature testing Observations • After testing at each temperature level a visual inspection indicated the Zafety Lug Lock™unitsdid not sustain any external damages or physical degradation • After testing at each temperature level a visual inspection indicated no evidence of any nut looseness
