HID MODE (HIDDEN WEIGHT)
This function is designed to “hide” outer plane corrective
weight by placing the required weight behind selected spokes
in order to retain the aesthetic appeal of the wheel.
1. Make sure you are in
ALU mode and all the correct
parameters have been programmed, lower the hood to
begin the spin mode.
2. After the hood is lowered, or the
START button is
depressed, the wheel will spin for approximately twelve
seconds then stop automatically.
3. After the wheel stops, weight readings for the wheels
inner plane will read in the
INNER window and readings
for the center plane will read in the
OUTER window.
4. Turn the wheel by hand until you see the weight position
indicator lights on the side marked
INNER are FULLY
ILLUMINATED. This indicates the position specified by
the balancer for the left weight position or inner plane.
Step on the foot brake.
5. Attach the specified weight for the
INNER PLANE
position to the weight applicator at the end of the index
arm.
6. Pull the index arm out to the inner plane position, the
center
WIDTH window will count down for you and
display --0 when you have approached the correct
position.
7. Push up on the weight applicator at that position
making sure the weights are fully adhered to the
wheel, return the index arm to the rest position.
Release the brake.
NOTE:
If the index arm is not returned to the full resting position
the balancer will not spin. Make sure when not in use the
index arm is always resting in its holder.
8. Press and hold the
D and OPT buttons, release. This
should illuminate the
HID mode light.
9. Turn the wheel by hand until you see the weight
position indicator lights on the side marked
OUTER are
FULLY ILLUMINATED.
10. Press the
ALU button.
11. Make sure the
OUTER marks are still FULLY
ILLUMINATED. Pull index arm out to the center plane
position, use a piece of tape or something else to
make a mark at the position where the weight
should be.
12. Stand on the hood side of the balancer facing the outer
edge of the wheel, move the spoke that is to the left of
that mark to top dead center.
13. Press the
ALU button.
14. Return to the hood side of the balancer, now move the
spoke that is to the right of the mark to top dead center.
15. Press the
ALU button.
16. Turn the wheel by hand until the weight position
indicator lights on the side marked
OUTER are FULLY
ILLUMINATED. This indicates the position specified
by the balancer for the first spoke position. Step on the
brake.
17. Attach the specified weight displayed in the
OUTER
window
to the weight applicator at the end of the
index arm.
18. Pull the index arm out to the center plane position, the
center
WIDTH window will count down for you and
display --0 when you have approached the correct
position.
19. Push up on the weight applicator at that position
making sure the weights are fully adhered to the
wheel, return the index arm to the rest position.
Release the brake.
20. Again turn the wheel by hand until the weight position
indicator lights on the side marked
OUTER are FULLY
ILLUMINATED. This indicates the position specified by
the balancer for the second spoke position. Step on the
brake.
21. Attach the specified weight displayed in the
OUTER
window
to the weight applicator at the end of the index
arm.
22. Pull the index arm out to the center plane position, the
center
WIDTH window will count down for you and
display --0 when you have approached the correct
position.
23. Push up on the weight applicator at that position
making sure the weights are fully adhered to the
wheel, return the index arm to the rest position.
Release the brake.
24. Lower the hood, the wheel will spin for approximately
twelve seconds then stop automatically.
25. The machine will automatically switch back to
ALU
mode.
26. After the wheel stops, weight readings for the wheels
inner and center planes should be zero.
