  • Page 21: Fitting The Wheel On The Chuck

    11.0 FITTING THE WHEEL ON THE CHUCK To achieve perfect balancing, the wheel must be carefully and properly fitted on the chuck. Imperfect centering will inevitably cause unbalances. IMPORTANT ONLY ORIGINAL CONES AND ACCESSORIES, SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR USE WITH THE WHEEL BAL- ANCERS, ARE TO BE USED.
  • Page 22 Some aluminium wheels, with very high centering, must be fitted with the cone outside the wheel: 5. clean the chuck (Fig. 12 ref. 1) before fitting the wheel; 6. fit the wheel (Fig. 12 ref. 3) with the inside of the rim towards the wheel balancer, until the wheel is up against the support flange (Fig.

  • Page 23: Ultrasound Sensor Support Adjustment

However with wheels with great diameter, you can set it higher so that the wheel can be mounted easily onto the chuck (see Fig. 15). In order to carry out the adjustment, just loosen the handwheel (Fig.
  • Page 24 For what concerns exceptionally large wheels, sensor support may be moved outside the loading space of the same wheel, so that it can be easily mounted onto the chuck: 1. slacken the handwheels (Fig. 16 ref. 1) secured to the protection guard’s tubular and open sensor support (Fig. 16 ref. 2) by making it slide in the slot (Fig.
