Hidden Weight Balancing
Hidden Weight (HID) Mode hides Central Plane correction Weight(s) behind selected spokes on the
Wheel so that they are difficult to see.

• The Inner Window displays distance from the side of the
balancer to the Inner Plane.
• The Center Window displays the measured width
between the Inner and Center Planes.
• The Outer Window displays distance from the side of
the balancer to the Center Plane.
After defining the center plane in the Step above, return the
Inner Arm to its rest position on the side of the Balancer.
Close the Hood and/or push Start. The Wheel will spin and
then stop automatically. Correction weight values will appear
