SELECTING WEIGHT POSITIONS
FOR DIFFERENT WHEEL TYPES
Prior to balancing, a specific function must be chosen for
each particular wheel. The function settings automatically
compensate weight location requirements for a particular
wheel type. These settings can be selected by depressing
the
F & ALU buttons.
DYNAMIC
For balancing standard steel or alloy wheels
using clip-on weights attached to Inner and
Outer Edges.
STATIC 1
This function is used if stick-on weights can
only be mounted on a single center plane on
the wheel.
STATIC 2
This function is used if clip-on weights can
only be mounted on a single inner edge on
the wheel.
ALU
This function is used if stick-on weights are
to be mounted to both the Inner Plane and
Center Plane of the wheel. The distance
and width parameters are accurately defined for a more
exacting weight placement, therefore improving the
likelihood of a single spin balance.
HID
This function is used if stick-on weights are
to be mounted to the Inner Plane and then
stick-on weights are to be split and
mounted behind spokes on the Center Plane of the wheel.
GRAM / OUNCE SELECTION
This machine is capable of registering
GRAM or OUNCE
readings. To select either
GRAM or OUNCE settings, follow
the procedures below.
1. Press the “
STOP” button.
Then press the Distance “
+” Button at the same
time. The weight readings will change in the
INNER and
OUTER windows to register the applicable setting as soon
as the stop button is released.
NOTE:
When set to Ounces or Inches the displayed
values contain a decimal point.
MM / INCH SELECTION
To select either
MM or INCH for your wheel measurement
reading push the
MM INCH button. This will toggle between
metric and standard readings.
NOTE:
When set to Ounces or Inches the displayed
values contain a decimal point.
MOUNTING WHEELS
Select the most appropriate mounting method for the
wheel you are balancing. Using the proper method
ensures secure mounting, accurate displays, and safe
balancer operation. It also prevents damage to the wheel.
On most wheels, the inner side of the wheel hub usually
has the most uniform surface for wheel balancing. Always
center the wheel by the most uniformly shaped side of the
hub to achieve the most accurate balance.
Regardless of mounting type, always make sure that the
wheel is forced firmly against the arbor faceplate and that
the Quick-Nut engages the threaded arbor for at least four
complete turns. To assist in centering the wheel properly,
rotate the wheel on the arbor while tightening the
Quick-Nut.
DAMAGE CAUSED BY STRIKING OR HITTING THE
QUICK-NUT WITH A HAMMER, TIRE IRON OR HEAVY
OBJECT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
