Dual-Plane Self-Calibration Procedure

aligning the software with the existing spindle positions and hardware on the Balancer.
Before performing the Dual-Plane Self-Calibration Procedure, ma ke sure the Balancer is anchored to
the floor and that the shaft and centering cones are clean and undamaged. Dirt or damage can cause
inaccurate readings.

must already be fully balanced.
