Result of the measurement and weight application If the unbalance is out of tolerance: 1. When the spin is complete, bring the unbalance into correction position by turning the wheel by hand. The spindle is automatically locked in correction position (if not disabled the wheel lock and for rotation speeds less than 20 rpm).
BALANCING WITH ADHESIVE WEIGHTS (ALU) Wheel dimensions setting Using the dedicated grip, move the gauge tip up against the inside of the rim and make two consecutive measure- ments starting from the inside (FI) as shown in the figure. The two preselected positions coincide with the point where the counterweight is to be applied.

The spindle is automatically locked in correction position (if not disabled the wheel lock and for rotation speeds less than 20 rpm) If the acoustic signal is enabled ( ), a beep will sound when the correction...
BALANCING WITH A MIX OF ADHESIVE AND CLIP-ON WEIGHTS AND STATIC BALANCING After dimension acquisition in standard balancing mode, pressing the buttons you can select one of the following correction modes. WEIGHT APPLICATION POSITION Correction type Inside Outside Clip-on weight at 12 o’clock Clip-on weight at 12 o’clock Clip-on weight at 12 o’clock Adhesive weight at 12 o’clock...
STATIC UNBALANCE The static unbalance is shown on display (1) and the relative correction position on the LED display. Note: Must press the button to show Static. The correction weight application diameter cannot be set, but is deduced from the dimensions acquired in standard or ALU mode through interpolation algorithms and the use of fixed parameters.
HIDE THE ADHESIVE WEIGHTS (Behind Spoke) Behind Spoke is only possible in the event of static unbalance or ALU external side and is used to hide any adhesive weights correcting unbalance behind the rim spokes. 1. Perform an unbalance measurement spin. 2.
Unbalance Match Mount Balance The program allows total wheel out-of-balance to be reduced by compensating, when possible, tire and rim out-of-balance values. It is suitable for static unbalance values in excess of 30 grams. It requires two runs, rotating the tire on the rim on the second run. 1.

SELF-DIAGNOSTICS The machine can perform self-diagnostics to check the LED’s on the control panel and make sure the encoder reads correctly. To perform this operation, view the SETUP menu. In the self-diagnostics sequence, all the LED’s on the panel light up for a few seconds in order to check operation.
3. Shift the standard weight from the outside to the inside keeping the same position. Close the guard and press the button to perform a spin. 4. Turn the wheel until the Cal weight is at the top (12 o’clock) and press 5.

Diagnostics INCONSISTENT UNBALANCE READINGS In some cases, when a wheel that has just been balanced is repositioned on the balancer, the machine can detect an unbalance. This is not a machine problem but is due to faulty mounting of the wheel on the flange. In other words, when mounting the wheel after initial balancing, it has taken another position with respect to the balancer shaft axis.

Floor and Space Requirements The balancer must be located on a flat floor of solid construction, preferably concrete. The balancer must sit solidly on its three feet. If the balancer is not level, does not sit solidly on its three feet, or is placed on an unstable floor, the balancer will not function properly and may produce inaccurate balance readings.
Unpacking the Unit 1. Remove the shipping carton from the pallet. Fig. 1 2. Remove all loose parts and accessories packed around the unit. Remove Balancer from Pallet 3. Remove the shipping bolts that hold the balancer to the pallet. CAUTION Fig.
