WB-514 Wheel Balancer user’s manual Information Neither personal nor its affiliates shall be liable to the purchaser of this unit or third parties for damages, losses, costs, or expenses incurred by purchaser or third parties as a result of: accident, misuse, or abuse of this unit, or unauthorized modifications, repairs, or alterations to this unit, or failure to strictly comply with our company operating and maintenance instructions.
WB-514 Wheel Balancer user’s manual 1、 Safety Instructions Make certain all operators are properly trained. Improper operations may result in incorrect measurement. Environments should conform to the regulations in this instruction manual. Keep the guard in working order. Transportation and operations should strictly follow the regulations in this manual, otherwise, the manufacturer will not be responsible for the damage caused by improper transportation or operation.
WB-514 Wheel Balancer user’s manual 3、Transportation The balancer must be transported in the original package and be placed in the specified position. Use a forklift with corresponding capacity to move the packed machine and the direction of the forklift is shown in figure 2.
WB-514 Wheel Balancer user’s manual Figure 4 Figure 5 5.2 Installing parts Shaft . Take out the threaded end and bolts from the accessory case. Mount them firmly according to figure 5. Mount the cone on the corresponding arm. Mount the guard according to Appendix I.
WB-514 Wheel Balancer user’s manual Figure 6 7.2 Installing Wheel Choose the optimal cone for the center hole and mount it on the balancer.(refer to figures 7 and 8) The method shown in figure 8 is preferable because it approximates to installing wheel on a real car.
WB-514 Wheel Balancer user’s manual Figure 9 Figure 10 Figure 11 7.3.1 Input Wheel Parameters with Automatic Gauge Pull the gauge against the rim keeping it in position for 2 seconds. A and D parameters are automatically input with a sound “beep”, and enter the state of B parameters input.
WB-514 Wheel Balancer user’s manual to start the motor and make the wheel rotate. During the rotating measurement, in case of emergency you can open the guard or press to stop rotating. See figures 13、14. Figure 13 Figure 14 When the wheel stops rotating, the screen displays the inside and outside unbalance values, with the inside on the left and the outside on the right.
WB-514 Wheel Balancer user’s manual F2 to enter mode selection interface shown in figure 17. and then press F2 to choose static mode. See figure 18. Figure 18 Figure 17 Close the guard or press to start the motor and make the wheel rotate (figure 19).
WB-514 Wheel Balancer user’s manual Figure 21 The measurement process of ALU is the same as that of standard dynamic mode. After measurement, stick counterweights according to the figure 22 or use a special purpose gauge to assist in sticking counterweights Figure 22 7.7 ALU1S , ALU2S Modes...
WB-514 Wheel Balancer user’s manual ALU1S and ALU2S compensate for ALU1-5 , and they are more accurate than the traditional ALU modes. They are easier and faster as well. Figure 23 7.7.1 ALU1S,ALU2S Correction Plane Data Collecting ALU1S has to choose two proper correction planes on both sides of rim. ALU2S only choose one proper correction plane on the outside of rim.
WB-514 Wheel Balancer user’s manual Figure 25 If you can’t enter automatic parameter input interface by pulling Gauge A, Press F3 to enter parameter input interface in ALU1S and ALU2S interfaces. In the parameter input interface, relative parameters can be modified or input manually. Choose the parameter to be modified and press key below the screen.

WB-514 Wheel Balancer user’s manual sticking counterweights on both sides of rim are the same. ALU2S adopts clamping counterweights on the inside of rim, so the position is still at 12 o’clock. Figure 26 Note: The automatic gauge can only locate the 12 o’clock position, it will return to the measurement interface if at any other position.
WB-514 Wheel Balancer user’s manual 7.8 SPLIT Function Under ALU2, ALU3, ALU1S, ALU2S mode, at the bottom of LCD displays key, (see figure 28) This function can vector split unbalance weight between the two spokes on the outside of the wheel so as to hide the counterweights behind the wheel spokes and the wheel looks beautiful.
WB-514 Wheel Balancer user’s manual Figure 32 Figure 33 The values on the right of figures 32&33 are two unbalance value after splitting . Rotate the wheel and stop rotating when the red cursor moves to the middle of the rule.

Align the nozzle and the mark by rotating the tire on the rim by 180 degrees Replace the tire on the balancer and rotate the gas nozzle to 12 o'clock again.
WB-514 Wheel Balancer user’s manual 7.10 Motorcycle Mode Motorcycle mode is the same as standard dynamic mode except that it needs special motorcycle fixtures and extending arms.(see 7.4) Figure 40 7.11 Setting Programs It includes system setting, system testing, unbalance calibration, automatic gauge calibration and system information.
WB-514 Wheel Balancer user’s manual 7.11.1 System setting While the system is running, the state can be changed with function keys when necessary. For instance, modifying the weight unit while measuring. However, the state will return to the original state if the power is turned off and on again.
