Hidden spoke placement

9. Hidden spoke placement
When spoked wheels are balanced, the hidden spoke place-
ment mode allows balance weights which would have to be
attached between two spokes according to the measured
unbalance to be placed in hidden position behind two spokes
adjacent to the unbalance location (see example, Fig. 55).
After a measuring run the electronic unit automatically calcu-
lates the positions behind the spokes and reads the balance
weight locations on the display panel.
The operating steps for the hidden spoke placement mode are
described and illustrated below.

9.1 How to proceed

Hidden spoke placement is activated automatically in Alu 2,
Alu 2P and Alu 3, Alu 3P balancing modes.
9.2 Choice of balancing mode, choice of hidden spoke
placement mode and input of wheel data
• Press and hold the ALU key or the ALU+ key (Fig. 56,
item 1) and rotate the wheel to set balancing mode Alu
2, Alu 2P, Alu 3 and Alu 3P (weight positions -
Fig. 56, item 3).
• Press and hold the SPOKE key (Fig. 56, item 2) on top
and rotate the wheel to set, or change, the number of
spokes.
The spoke LED lights up and the number of spokes is
displayed (Fig. 57). The number of spokes can be chosen
between 3 and 12.
