Weight Location Verification Test
The Weight Location Verification Test verifies that the Balancer is calibrated correctly.
Before performing the Weight Location Verification Test, make sure the Balancer is bolted down to the
floor and that the Shaft and Centering Cones are clean and undamaged. Even the slightest amount of
dirt or damage can cause inaccurate readings.
Important:
You will need a steel Wheel with a Tire of a commonly balanced size for this procedure. The Wheel
must already be fully balanced.
To perform the Weight Location Verification Test:
1. Mount the already balanced Wheel on the Balancer.
2. Make sure Dynamic Mode is selected; no Balancing Modes should have their Indicator lit.
3. Enter the correct Distance, Width, and Diameter values for the Wheel into the Balancer.
4. Add a 3.5 ounce /100 gram Calibration Weight (it's a Clip-On Weight) to the Outer Edge of the
Wheel at Top Dead Center (12 o'clock high).
5. Lower the Hood or press the Start button to start a balancing session.
The Wheel spins briefly, then stops.
00 appears on the Inner Window and 3.5 on the Outer Window (100 if grams is selected).
6. Turn the Wheel by hand until the Outer Indicators are all lit.
The Calibration Weight should be at Bottom Dead Center (6 o'clock low).
7. Remove the Calibration Weight from the Outer Edge of the Wheel.
8. Add the Calibration Weight to the Inner Edge of the Wheel.
9. Close the Hood or press the Start button to start a balancing session.
The Wheel spins briefly, then stops.
10. 3.5 appears on the Inner Window (100 if grams is selected) and 00 in the Outer Window.
11. Turn the Wheel by hand until the Inner Indicators are all lit.
The Calibration Weight should be at Bottom Dead Center (6 o'clock low).
The Weight Location Verification Test is complete.
Important:
DST30P Wheel Balancer
Pay close attention to this procedure. If not done correctly, the Balancer will not
produce accurate readings, leading to Wheels not being balanced correctly.
If the Calibration Weight is not at Bottom Dead Center for both Inner and Outer
Edges or any different values appear in the Outer or Inner Windows, the Balancer is
not calibrated correctly. Visit www.bendpak.com/support/, call BendPak
