save your changes and return you to the original balancing screen. To exit the system settings without saving your changes, press the STOP key. If the above system settings instructions are not understandable, refer to following diagram: 6. Wheel Parameters Input Install the wheel in either of the two ways shown here:...
Page 9 This must be performed before calibration and before balancing any wheel. If all four wheels for one vehicle are the same and being balanced, then parameters only need to be input one time. If you turn off the machine, the wheel parameters are forgotten and must be entered again.
Page 10 The number in the OUTSIDE UNBALANCE DISPLAY WINDOW may be different if you have used the machine before. There are 3 parameters that must be entered when using Dynamic, Static, ALU1-3 and motorcycle mode. You use the WHEEL PARAMETERS INPUT AND SHIFT KEY to navigate to each parameter screen.
Page 11 shown in the picture above. After you have this parameter entered, push the WHEEL PARAMETERS INPUT AND SHIFT KEY to navigate to the next parameter. The second parameter will look like this: This parameter measures the width of the rim. This is the B parameter. Use the plastic caliper provided with the machine to measure the width of the rim.

Remove the weight from the outside of the rim. Use your hand to rotate the tire until all 5 of the lights in the INSIDE UNBALANCE POINT are on, as shown here: Then place the 100gram or 3.5 Ounce weight that came with the machine at 12 0’clock on the inside of the rim using the provided wheel hammer.
Page 15 Use your hand to rotate the tire until all 5 of the lights in the OUTSIDE UNBALANCE POINT are on, as shown here: Then place the 2.25 Ounce weight that came with the machine at 12 0’clock on the outside of the rim using the provided wheel hammer. After placing the weight, close the hood and spin the wheel.
Page 16: Static Mode
spinning the wheel and placing the weight, any unbalance value remaining that was less than .70 ounces was ignored and instead the machine showed it zeroed out. This is where the FINE button comes into function. At anytime while balancing, you can press the FINE button to show the exact unbalance value.

ALUS requires the user to enter 4 parameters as mentioned in the parameter entry instructions. As a result, ALUS will be the most accurate mode when using stick on weights. Please refer to the STICKING AND CLAMPING WEIGHT POSITION INDICATOR on the display screen and the following diagram when placing the weights on the rim.
