Page 4: Transport, Storage And Handling
Transport, Storage and Handling The balancer packaging consists of a carton crate and pallets. Before setup, the balancer  must be transported in its original packing by inserting the forks of a lift truck in the relevant channels in the pallet, making sure that the machine is maintained in the position indicated on the outer packing(pic.1).
Page 5 After setup, the machine can be moved using the following methods: With a crane, using special equipment that holds the machine at the lifting points(pic.1a);  Positioning the machine on its original pallet, securing it with the original devices and then ...

Carefully check that all the commands on the machine are working properly. To avoid accidents and injury, the machine must be properly, operated correctly and serviced regularly. Switching on the balancer Turn on the machine with the switch on the back of the cabinet (F. pic.4). After the beep, and the lamp test, the machine is ready to receive the wheel data.

pic.5 pic.6 pic.6a Unbalance display in ounces or grams You can set up the machine to display unbalance values in grams or ounces by pressing the and holding it down for about five seconds.
Page 14: Rounding
Rounding When the machine is switched on its default setting is to show the unbalance to the nearest five grams (rounding up or down as necessary) or to the nearest 1/4 ounce if data output in ounces has been set. In this default setting, the first 4 grams are not displayed since they are regarded as below the operational threshold (the „Thr‟...

good results, when you input the diameter value, make it 2 or 3 inches less than the nominal. Do a test spin following the same procedures as for standard balancing.  Balancing aluminium wheels standard ALU programs To balance aluminium wheels we usually use self-adhesive weight and these are positioned differently from the clip weights used in standard balancing.

Glossary Balancer flange Disk that mates with the disk of the wheel mounted to the balancer. The flange also serves to keep the wheel perfectly perpendicular to its axis of rotation. Balancing cycle Sequence of operations performed by the user and the machine, starting from the start of the wheel spin to the time that the wheel is braked to a standstill after the unbalance signals have been acquired and the relative values calculated.
Page 27: Diagrams
Static balancing In static balancing only the static component of unbalance is corrected. This is achieved by fitting a single weight- usually at the centre of the rim channel. The accuracy of this system increases as the width of the wheel decreases. Threaded hub Threaded part of the shaft that is engaged with the hubnut to clamp the wheel.
