Faq - Dannmar MB-240X Installation And Operation Manual

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What does a Wheel Balancer do?
Answer:
Q: Is Wheel Balancing the same as Wheel Alignment?
A: No. When you balance a Wheel, you fix a weight distribution problem that can cause Wheel
wobble, uneven Tire wear, and Vehicle vibration. This is done by putting Weights on the Wheel in
appropriate locations.
When you align a Wheel, you are adjusting the angles of the Wheel in relation to the Vehicle and
the pavement. This reduces Tire wear and ensures the Vehicle drives straight and true (that is, the
Vehicle does not pull to one side).
Q: Where can I put my Wheel Balancer?
A: This MB-240X is designed to be mounted in three different configurations: stand-alone, wall
mount or Tire Changer mount. Ideally, you want the Balancer away from high traffic areas, as you
want to keep everyone away from the Balancer while it is in use. See Installing the Balancer for
more information.
Q: Why are there two types of Weights?
A: Clip-On Weights are more visible. Adhesive Weights are lower profile and come in two colors so
you can attempt to match the color of the Rim, so they are less visible. Some Vehicle owners
prefer Adhesive Weights because they are less visible.
Q: Can the MB-240X use 220 VAC power?
A: The MB-240X is shipped ready for 110 VAC operation. The Balancer can be modified to operate
on 220 VAC. For 220 VAC operation, you
240X plug in accordance with applicable electrical codes. See
information.
MB-240X Wheel Balancer
The Wheel Balancer detects Wheel imbalances and indicates where on the Wheel and
what value of counterweight is required to correct the Wheel imbalance. Wheel imbalance
creates vibration which creates excessive wear on the Tires and steering components.
