Match Mount
Description
The Match Mount program assists the user in deter-
mining the best possible mating of the tire and wheel,
thereby reducing the amount of additional weight
required for balancing. This mating of tire and wheel
normally allows the least amount of total runout of the
assembly, resulting in better balancing, better ride
conditions, and more satisfied customers. Use Match
Mount when:
• Excessive radial runout is noticed in the tire and
wheel assembly during balancing.
• The customer complains of ride problems.
• The balancer calls for weights in excess of 2-
ounces on either plane on passenger car tires in the
DYNAMIC MODE.
The Match Mount procedure involves loos-
ening tire beads and the inflation of a tire.
Training is necessary in tire changer opera-
tion and the dangers involved during bead
seating and tire inflation before attempting
this stage of the Match Mount procedure.
Read the operators manual supplied with
the tire changer and consult a supervisor.
The 2000 balancer will be idle while the tire is being
rotated on the wheel. During these times, the bal-
ancer can be used by another operator without termi-
nating the Match Mount procedure. The second
operator selects the other operator memory, performs
a balance, and then returns the balancer to the previ-
ous memory. The original operator can now continue
the Match Mount procedure.
As with any balancing procedure, remove any
weights attached to the wheel and inspect the tire and
wheel before beginning.
Is Match Mount needed?
1. Mount the wheel to the balancer.
2. Select the appropriate operator memory as
required (A or B). Make a note of the memory being
used in the event the memory is changed during the
Match Mount procedure.
3. Enter the A, W, and D measurements and select
the mode that will be used in the final balancing.
4. Lower the hood and press START.
5. Wait for the wheel to stop spinning and for the
displays to show weight readings.
• If the balancer indicates that 2-ounces or more will
be required on either plane (in DYNAMIC MODE),
advise the customer/ supervisor to continue with the
Match Mount procedure listed under Match Mount
Instructions. DO NOT attach weights at this point.
Leave the wheel mounted to the balancer.
• If the balancer indicates less than 2-ounces of
imbalance, the Match Mount procedure will not
improve the balance. Continue to balance the wheel
according to the mode selected.
