Recommended spare parts list A suggested list of spare parts is recommended to be kept at the customer’s location in order to rectify problems that might occur more quickly. A list below is also provided on our home page. 1987009WH7A POTENTIOMETER Distance + Diameter with cable 1987009WH9A POTENTIOMETER with cable for outside gauge...
e) Use only original parts to avoid the problems arising from using parts not having the correct technical specifications or which have no guarantee for this machine. Corresponding spare parts can be found in the spare parts document as well as finding it on our home page. Drive belt a) In order to replace the drive belt, loosen four bolts (1- 4).
Main switch a) The main switch can be found on the left side of all machines. It can also be used as an emergency off switch. Before any repairs are carried out to the machine please do not forget to: DISCONNECT MAINS PLUG! b) In order to remove the main switch, loosen the small screw as seen in the picture and pull on the lever.

The next picture shows the inside of the cabinet with the main body and two of the four screws. On the main body are four electrical connections numbered 14 which are the in and out going power lines to the main switch. Contact 1 is the outer conductor and contact 3 is the Neutral wire which is connected to an earth plug.
Motor a) Disconnect the red and black motor cable at the point (J2-2, J2-3). In addition if the machine is a model (above BM30) also disconnect the two grey brake leads at the point (J4-2, X1-3). b) Loosen the drive belt as described in Para. 5. Loosen the securing screws(1) (4) to remove the motor.
Piezo sensors a) Disconnect the connecting lead J6 from the Basis board. Loosen the pies sensor securing nut (1) and screw out the securing bolt (2) using an Allen key. Please note that on machines built from August 2011 the screw of the sensor is secured inside the thread with Loctite Look out for the four ball bearings (3) at either end of the piezo sensors.
Opto encoder-printed circuit board a) There are three red light diodes on the opto encoder printed circuit board. When these three light diodes are blinking during the operation of the machine, it means the opto encoder is functioning. If the machine is switched on (CAREFUL VOLTAGE) and the main shaft is turned slowly, the blinking of the diodes can be observed.
Motor control board a) The motor controller board works in conjunction with the transformers (located on the lower side of the board to make up the power supply for the balance machine. To remove the motor controller board, unplug the connected cables and loosen the securing screws. Replace a new board opposite to the method of removing.

Basic board a) The basic board evaluates and saves all the measurement values and software as well as controlling the standard electronics. Light diodes can be found on the underside side of the board, which provides the display for the LED machines. The board is secured to an aluminium plate on one side and a keypad on the other.

10. Drive belt pulley b) To exchange the belt pulley, take off the drive belt and then the screw (3) to enable the pulley to be taken off the main shaft. When removing the pulley be careful not to lose the small groove spacer. On fitting a pulley this small groove spacer has to fit into the groove in the centre of the pulley.
11. Wheel guard micro switch a) The micro switch relays the position of the wheel guard. Because this process is controlled by the software, it can be switched off. In this case, any problems arising should first be checked by noting the functions set by the user with function F8.! b) To remove, first take out the lead from the connector J5 on the basic board.
12. Potentiometers a) Up to three potentiometers can be fitted, depending upon the type of machine. P1 is the potentiometer at the centre of a chain pulley to measure the distance from the edge of the machine to the first weight position and depending on the type of program selected, the second weight position.
Page 19
d) The potentiometer measuring the diameter gauge is connected from points J85 to J8-8. When exchanging please make sure that the potentiometer is turned anticlockwise before fitting. Important: the end of the gauge should be resting on the top of the main shaft housing during replacement to allow minimum and maximum measurements to take place for all types of wheel The contact no.
Page 20
e) The potentiometer for the width (outside arm) is connected to J12-1 to J12-4. In order to exchange the potentiometer these wires should be soldered onto the new one. The contact no. 1 on the potentiometer take the white coloured wire and no. 2 the green wire, with no.

Calibration The calibration weight supplied with the machine must be used together with the clamping adapter. Make sure that the threaded hole on the adapter is in line with the red indicator marking on the main shaft. For calibration the calibration weight (1987009WG3) is required MACHINES with manual clamping of the wheel Remove cone and clamp from the main shaft.

Measuring run Run with calibration weight on the right side of the mid centering device Machines with manual QuickSpan clamping of the wheel Autorun If Autorun is active (ON) the balancing run is started when the wheel guard is closed. If Autorun is not active (OFF) the balancing run needs to be started by pushing the START button when the wheel guard is closed.

F 10 Calibration of the gauges ! It is important that the gauges are always placed in the home position after measurements as this can result in inaccurate results. ! The brake should be released on all machines that have this function. For the calibration of the gauges the calibration weight is required.

Step 3 – POS 3 – Width (only when an outside gauge arm is present) Bring the tip of outside gauge to the tip of the “long” end of the calibration weight and hold it in this position until an audible signal is heard, which means the measurement has been accepted. Return the outside gauge into the home position and an audible signal is heard and the program returns to normal mode F 11...

16. Mid centring device (NOT QuickSpan) a) In order to change the clamping means, switch off the machine. At the centre and inside of the threaded shaft there is a large securing bolt, which requires an Allen key, which comes with the standard scope of delivery (photo below) to loosen.
17. QuickSpan Principle With the QuickSpan the wheel is clamped pneumatically upon foot pedal operation. The shaft diameter is 40 mm and all clamping accessories that can be used with the wheel balancers with manual clamping can also be used with the QuickSpan IMPORTANT: For calibration of the QuickSpan machines as well as the zero run the clamping sleeve and the clamping hood for steel rims as shown in the pictures below.
18. Foot pedal (QuickSpan) a) The foot pedal is used to clamp the wheel to the main shaft and is NOT designed to be used as a brake to hold the main shaft. b) The pedal is part of a metal plate, which is constructed with a small bolt attached to relieve the pressure of someone applying full force to the pedal and damaging it after a while.
19. Maintenance unit (QuickSpan) The photo below shows the air pressure control unit for the quick span machines. Screw to operate the QuickSpan valve manually for testing purposes The maintenance unit is equipped with a water separator, an oiler and a pressure gauge. The pressure is reduced to 6 bar and must not be adjusted to a higher value.

Problem Fluctuating results after repetitive balance runs Remedy Make sure that the correct cone has been used for the wheel and that the clamp is secure and tight on the clamping means. − Check that the machine is on level hard ground. If necessary bolt machine to the ground. Never use machine when it is bolted on a wooden pallet.
