Reading the Displays
Weight Displays - The two weight displays (one for
the inner plane, and one for the outer plane) are posi-
tioned with a wheel cross section diagram. After spin-
ning the wheel, the balancer will calculate the weight
needed and display it in these displays. The display to
the left of the diagram will show the weight to be
applied to the inner plane of the wheel and the display
to the right will show the weight for the outer plane.
Weight Position LEDs - Each weight display
includes weight position LEDs. Located between the
weight display and the diagram, these LEDs indicate
the proper location for weight application. After a spin,
rotate the wheel until the center position indicator
LEDs flash. This indicates that the position specified
by the balancer for weight application is at top-dead-
center.
Balancing a Wheel
Procedure
The following steps walk through the balancing pro-
cedure. Do not proceed with these instructions until
you have read and understand the previous sections
of this guide (mounting, balance modes, and reading
the displays).
1. Turn the balancer on. The power switch is on the
right side of the tower at the side of the unit.
Note: When turned on, the balancer will activate the
same options that were selected when it was last
turned off (hood start, ounce/gram, etc.).
2. Mount the wheel to be balanced. Use the proper
mounting method as described on pages 6 and 7.
Always remove any weights attached to the wheel.
3. Enter the wheel measurements and select bal-
ancing mode (page 4 and 5).
4. Set options (hood start, ounce/gram, operator
A/B).
5. Lower the hood and press START. The wheel will
spin and then brake to a stop.
Note: Spin will start automatically when the hood is
lowered if the hood start option is turned on.
6. Raise the hood.
7. Rotate the wheel until the outer position LEDs
flash.
8. Attach the weight specified in the proper location
at top-dead-center. Refer to the diagrams on the con-
trol panel for weight locations.
9. Rotate the wheel until the inner position LEDs
flash.
10. Attach the weight specified in the proper loca-
tion at top-dead-center. Refer to the diagrams on the
control panel for weight locations.
11. Lower the hood and press START to respin the
wheel. The wheel will brake to a stop. The weight dis-
plays should now read 0.00. If not, refer to page 10,
Checking the Balance for assistance.
Remember: The more accurate you are in selecting
and positioning the weight, the more often you will
balance wheels with a single spin.
