NTB-800 Manual Please read this Manual before using the Machine. You will need to know the safety instructions, System Settings, Wheel Parameters Input and Calibration process before you can properly balance a wheel. Contents 1. Safety Instructions 2. Product Description 3.
Page 2: Safety Instructions
1. Safety Instructions • All operators should be properly trained. Improper operations may result in incorrect measurement. • All operators should not wear loose clothing or jewelry. These things may become entangled with the wheel or spin shaft while using the balancer and could cause serious injury.

Page 5: System Settings
At anytime you may change from Ounces to Grams and back by simply pressing the C button. 5. System Settings This section shows the user how to change the various system settings to meet their needs. You will need to check the settings and adjust them accordingly before balancing a wheel.
Page 6 Buzzer switch setting. Change to “On” or “Off” to control the buzzer sound. Width Input setting. Change width input to Grams or Ounces. Grams will display “0.” and Ounces will display “0.0”. Diameter input setting. Change Diameter input to Grams or Ounces. Grams will display “0.”...
Page 7: Wheel Parameters Input
6. Wheel Parameters Input Install the wheel in either of the two ways shown here:...
Page 9 This must be performed before calibration and before balancing any wheel. If all four wheels for one vehicle are the same and being balanced, then parameters only need to be input one time. If you turn off the machine, the wheel parameters are forgotten and must be entered again.
Page 10 There are 3 parameters that must be entered when using Dynamic, Static, ALU1-3 and motorcycle mode. With the Model NTB-800 you must only enter one parameter manual and the other two will be entered automatically using the ruler. Simply pull the ruler from the side of the machine and touch the end to the under lip of...
Page 11 The screen will then change to parameter B which you must use the caliper to measure and enter the correct size. Use the UP or DOWN keys to change the number. When you are finished entering each of the 3 parameters, simply push the STOP button to return to the balancing screen or if you already have your mode selected, you may close the hood and spin the wheel to begin balancing process.
Page 12 This parameter measures the width of the rim. This is the B parameter. Use the plastic caliper provided with the machine to measure the width of the rim. Touch the caliper to the edge of the rim on both sides to measure the width. Use the UP or DOWN key to enter the parameter.
Page 13: Calibration
This must be performed before calibration and before balancing any wheel. If all four wheels for one vehicle are the same and being balanced, then parameters only need to be input one time. If you turn off the machine, the wheel parameters are forgotten and must be entered again.
Page 14 Now close the plastic hood and spin the wheel. If you have the guard control setting to “On” then the wheel will spin when the hood is closed. If you have the guard control setting is set to “Off” then you must push the START button to spin the wheel. Let the wheel spin and come to a complete stop before opening the plastic hood.
Page 15: Standard Dynamic Mode
After placing the weight, close the hood and spin the wheel. The machine will beep and you will see the following screen for a short time: After showing this screen, the machine will automatically return to the initial balancing screen. You have successfully calibrated the machine and the data was saved automatically.
Page 16 Then place the 2.25 Ounce weight that came with the machine at 12 0’clock on the outside of the rim using the provided wheel hammer. After placing the weight, close the hood and spin the wheel. The following screen will appear: You have now zeroed out the balance for the outside of the rim.
Page 17: Static Mode
As you can see, the wheel is still technically out of balance by .20 Ounces on both sides. However, because I had the “least unbalance value setting” on .70 Ounces, the machine ignored the remaining .20 ounces because it was less than .70 ounces. .20 Ounces may or may not make a significant difference depending on the size of the wheel and rim.
Page 18: Alus Mode
11. ALUS mode ALUS requires the user to enter 4 parameters as mentioned in the parameter entry instructions. As a result, ALUS will be the most accurate mode when using stick on weights. Please refer to the STICKING AND CLAMPING WEIGHT POSITION INDICATOR on the display screen and the following diagram when placing the weights on the rim.
Page 19: Opt Mode
The process is the same as the dynamic and static modes. The only difference is the parameter input and the position where weights will be put. 12. OPT mode Please refer to the tire manufacture for instructions on how to match tires to the correct rim.
