recommendation, which 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: What you want is a flat Concrete floor with room around it that is also near where you work on
Wheels. Ideally, you want it somewhere off the beaten path, as you want to keep everyone away
from the Balancer while it is in use.
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 try to color match with the Rim, so they are less visible. Some Vehicle owners with
expensive Tires prefer Adhesive Weights because they are less visible.
Q: Why isn't there a plug on the end of the Power Cord?
A: 220 VAC plugs vary by region, so you need to use one that is appropriate for the power outlet

cord to a plug in accordance with applicable electrical codes.
Q: What Balancing Modes does the Balancer have?
A: The Balancer has five Balancing Modes: Dynamic, STA, STA2, ALU, and HID. Dynamic Mode is
used with steel Wheels, the two Static Modes are for older, narrower Wheels or motorcycle
Wheels, Aluminum Mode is for Aluminum Alloy (non-steel) Wheels, and HID is for Aluminum Alloy
Wheels and it also hides weight behind spokes on the Wheel. There is also an OPT indicator
where the other Balancing Mode indicators are, but it is for the Optimize Function; it is not a
Balancing Mode.
Q: How accurate are the weight values the Balancer displays?
A: By default, the Balancer rounds off to .25 ounces (~7 grams); this is because most weights sold in
the U.S. come in .25 ounce increments. (Countries that use the metric system measure weight in
grams; their weights come in 5-gram increments.) If you do not want rounded-off weight values,

the Vehicle could experience noise, vibration, wobbling, reduced or uneven Tire tread

Wheels balanced may even increase its mileage.
