• On most wheels, the inner side of the wheel hub usually has the most uniform surface for wheel balancing. Always center the wheel by the most uniform shaped side of the hub to achieve the most accurate balance. • Regardless of mounting type, always make sure that the wheel is forced firmly against the shaft faceplate and that the quick locking nut is tightened.
WHEEL DATA ENTRY Before balancing a wheel, wheel data must be entered. 6.3.1 WHEEL DATA ☆ Fig. 12 – STANDARD MODES Fig. 13 – MODE For STANDAD MODES, measure the wheel dimensions as shown in the figure 12. ☆ MODE, measure the wheel dimensions as shown in the figure 13. In this machine, A and D values also can be entered either manually or automatically.
BALANCING MODE 6.4.1 DYNAMIC MODE The dynamic mode is used for most passenger and light truck wheels using the most common location for corrective weights. Clip-on weights are placed on the inner and outer sides of the rim at 12 o’clock position.
6.4.3 STANDARD ALU MODE All the ALU modes are dynamic balance. Choose the option that best fits the available locations as shown in the figure 18 From the measurement screen, press to select the modes ALU1 ALU2 ALU3 ALU4. Fig. 18 Balancing of light alloy rims with application of adhesive weights on the rim shoulders.

☆ 6.4.4 MODE This is a special ALU mode for precise and fast application of the adhesive weights on the rim by means of the automatic gauge. There are two modes of ALU1 ☆ and ALU2 ☆ . to select ALU1 ☆ mode. Press Choose two positions on the rim where can be applied with the adhesive weights and then measure the dimensions as shown in the diagram (Fig.
Page 19
to select ALU2 ☆ mode. Press This is the combination application: clip-on weight inside and attach the adhesive weight on rim. Measure the dimensions as shown in the diagram (Fig. 22). Pay attention to press to memorize A1 dimension which should be measured at first, then measure AE dimension which will be memorized automatically.
6.4.5 SPLIT FUNCTION The SPLIT function is used to position the adhesive weight behind the wheel spokes so that they are ☆ no longer visible. It is advisable to use this function only in the static unbalance or in the mode.
6.4.6 UNBALANCE OPTIMIZATION (OPT) This function is used to determine the best mating of tire and rim that will result in the least amount of total unbalance of the wheel. It severs to reduce the amount of weight to be added in order to balance the wheel.
CHAPTER 7 – SET UP SELF-DIAGNOSIS Fig. 25 Diagnosis of phase Rotate the wheel in direction of rotation, the readouts display from 0 to 255. Rotate the wheel in reverse direction of rotation, the readouts displays from 255 to 0. Diagnosis of inner piezo Push the balancing shaft from any direction, the readouts change.
CALIBRATION To access SELF-CALIBRATION menu, refer to Fig. 8. For the self-calibration proceed as follows: Fig. 26 Weight calibration Distance (A) gauge calibration Diameter (D) gauge calibration Width (B) gauge calibration 23 / 28 REV. 01 2020...
