3. BALANCING A WHEEL

3.1 Mount the Wheel on the Spindle Shaft

DSP9200 Series Balancer Operation Instructions
Remove any existing wheel weights, rocks, and debris from the tire tread, and clean
the center hole of the wheel. Inspect inside of wheel for excessive accumulation of
dirt and debris. Remove if necessary before balancing.
Accurate balancing depends on accurately centering the wheel. Choose the proper
wheel mounting cone by placing it in the center hole of the wheel to be balanced.
Refer to "CenteringCheck
NOTE: If the basic cone and adaptors do not fit the wheel, additional
centering adaptors will be necessary. A wheel that cannot be
properly centered, cannot be properly balanced. All
balancers require additional centering adaptors to properly
center certain types of wheels. For additonal information,
refer to Form 3203T for optional accessories.
With the safety hood open, place the wheel mounting cone on the spindle shaft
against the captivated spring. Position the wheel with the inside surface facing the
balancer, centered on the cone.
Install the plastic clamping cup and wing nut on the spindle shaft against the wheel
and secure the entire assembly by firmly tightening the wing nut.
If equipped with optional Spindle-Lok
tightening the wing nut. Holding the shaft locked while tightening the wing nut
improves centering accuracy.
Slowly roll the wheel towards you while tightening the wing nut. This improves
accurate wheel centering, since the wheel is allowed to roll up the taper of the cone
as opposed to forcing it to slide up the cone.
