Static Balancing
Static Balancing is for older Wheels under 4 inches wide and motorcycle Wheels. If the Wheel is out of
balance, Weight goes in one location only.
The Balancer supports two Static Balancing Modes:
• STA1. If the Wheel is out of balance, Weight goes on the Center Plane.
• STA2. If the Wheel is out of balance, Weight goes on the Inner Edge.
To Balance a Wheel using STA1 or STA2:
1. Make sure you are dressed appropriately: leather gloves, steel-toed work boots, back belts,
hearing protection, and ANSI-approved eye protection: safety glasses, face shield, or goggles.
2. Visually inspect the Balancer to make sure everything is in place. The Hood should be
3. Make sure the Wheel you want to balance is both clean and free of any weights that may have
been put on previously. If it is dirty, clean it. Remove any existing weights.
4. Mount the Wheel on the Balancer.
5. Turn the Balancer Off and then back On, to reset it.
On power up, USA | 516 will appear in the Inner and Outer Windows, followed by default Wheel
dimensions. (The "516" is the software version; this changes from time to time, so there's no need
to worry if the number is different on your Balancer.)
6. After a few seconds, the Inner and Outer Windows change to –A– | 8.0. (8.0 is the default value
for Distance).
7. On the Control Panel, press the F button until either the STA1 or the STA2 indicator is lit,
depending on which Static Mode you want to use.
8. Pull out the Inner Arm and place it on the Inner Edge.
This tells the Balancer the distance from the edge of the Balancer to the edge of the Wheel being
balanced.
9. On the Inner Arm Ruler, note the distance from the Balancer to the Inner Edge.
10. Return the Inner Arm to its normal location.
11. Input the distance you noted on the Inner Arm Ruler using the + and – buttons under Distance.
The 8.0 is replaced by the value you enter. It goes up and down in small increments as you press
the + and – buttons.
12. When the Distance value is correct, use the Caliper to measure the width of the Rim, Inner Edge to
Outer Edge.
13. Input the distance you measured using the Calipers using the + and – buttons under Width.
