Calibration Wheel Set Up

For best calibration results, use a 16-inch steel tire/

wheel assembly on the balancer. A balanced tire/wheel

assembly is required.

What is needed:
• 16-inch steel wheel in good condition
• 16-inch tire in good condition
• Tape Weights

Note: To make calibration easier, use tape weights

and place them at the Tape 1 (T1) and Tape 2 (T2)

positions on the steel wheel. This keeps the flange

positions free for placement of the 4-ounce calibration

weight.

Helpful Hint: Take a paint pen and mark the tire as

shown in the provided photo. The mark should be as

accurate as possible — from Inboard to Outboard. Posi-

tion on the wheel does not matter as long as the marks

match at the same location on each side of the wheel.

If you have marked the wheel (as noted above), follow

this procedure to make the 4-ounce calibration weight

placement easy and accurate.

Turn the machine OFF. Mount tire/wheel assembly

on the balancer and rotate the wheel so that the marks

you just added are at the 12 o’clock position. Hold the

wheel in this position and turn the balancer ON. The

balancer will be indexed to this wheel position for cali-

bration and weight placement.

Machine Calibration

Press SETTINGS icon and then select MACHINE

CALIBRATION.

Press continue.

Enter the D dimension (include decimal point,

example: 16.0 for a 16-inch wheel). Press ENTER.

Lower the hood and press SPIN.

After spin, raise the hood. Attach 4-ounce calibra-

tion weight to the outside flange at top-dead-center.

Center

Important: It is critical that the inner weight be

placed accurately to achieve proper calibration. If the

calibration weight is not moved from the outside flange

directly across to the inside flange, an inner weight

placement error will occur. To correct, follow the bal-

ancer instructions.

After spin, raise the hood. Move the 4-ounce

calibration weight directly across and attach it on the

inside flange at top-dead-center.
