Baseline 225 Manual - Opt 4

OPT 4
Turn the wheel until the segment in the centre lights to indicate the correct position
Make two chalk marks on the outside wall of the tire at 12 o‟clock. If the screen gave you the
message to switch around the tire as it is mounted on the rim, make these two chalk marks on
the inside wall of the tire.
Turn the tire on the rim (and switch it around if this is called for ) so that the two chalk marks
are opposite to the valve
Mount the wheel on the balancer
Turn the wheel until the valve is at 12 o‟clock
Press
Make the 4
th
spin.
When this 4
th
spin has finished the OPT program has been completed and the machine will display
the weights to be added to balance the wheel.
If you make an error which will negatively affect the end result, the machine will tell you this by,
displaying a message: OPT Err. This means the entire procedure should be repeated from the
beginning.
Notes
If you do not want to make the first spin with just the empty rim, you can skip the first phase by
hitting the key immediately after pressing the key for the OPT program. This will mean that
you start by mounting the rim plus tire on the balancer and carrying out phases 2, 3, 4 as
previously described.
At the end of the 2
nd
and 3
rd
spin you may get the message OUT 1or OUT 2 on the screen. This
means that you are better off abandoning the program by pressing the key. The display will
then give the weights needed to balance the wheel. This allows you to short cut the program by
accepting the current status without going all the way. If you want to carry on the end, press the
key and you will continue in the OPT program.
At the end of the 3
rd
spin the screen may suggest switch the tire around on the rim. If you do not
want to or cannot do this, press key. The screen will display instructions on how to complete
the OPT program without making this switch.
Quick OPT program
In the vast majority of cases this program gives results almost as good as the full OPT program
described above, although it requires fewer spins.
Proceed as outlined above in the previous heading with the difference that the first stage of the quick
optimization program corresponds to the second stage of the standard program.
You therefore start work with the tire already on the rim and then proceed with the successive stages.
