IMBALANCE OPTIMIZATION
Imbalance Optimization can be used when the wheel imbalance amount is over 1 oz.
Optimization can reduce the weight value of required wheel weights minimizing the
amount of weight placed on a wheel.
• Press “
OPT
” Key
(Control Panel Display #9)
. Optimization and 180 will show in
LED Display
(FIG 16)
.
• Use chalk (not included) to place a mark on the same point on the rim and tire.
• Remove wheel/tire from Balancer.
• Using a Tire Mounting Machine, dis-mount tire from rim, rotate tire 180° on rim and
re-mount tire on rim.
• Re-mount wheel/tire on Balancer, lower Guard and once again press “
START
” Key to
begin Spin Cycle.
• After Balancer stops, the left “
inside
”
(Control Panel Display #1)
LED will display
the Optimization % Value and the right “
outside
”
(Control Panel Display #2)
LED will
display the reduced imbalance weight value.
Example
= If a pre-optimization imbalance weight value is 1.5 oz. and is optimized by
85%, the weight required after optimization will be only 0.25 oz.
NOTE:
The Optimization procedure can be ended at this point by adding indicated weight or
additional steps may be taken for further Optimization. To continue:
• Slowly rotate the wheel by hand. When only the end LED’s of both of the Unbalance Posi-
tion LED’s
(Control Panel Display #’s 3 & 4)
(FIG 17)
, are illuminated, mark the side of
the Tire only at the 12:00 position using chalk.
• Once again, slowly rotate the wheel by hand. When only the center LED’s of both of the
Unbalance Position LED’s
(Control Panel Display #’s 3 & 4)
(FIG 18)
, are illuminated,
mark the side of the Rim only at the 12:00 position using chalk.
• Remove wheel/tire from Balancer.
• Using a Tire Mounting Machine, dis-mount tire from rim, rotate tire to align the previ-
ous chalk marks placed on the tire and rim and re-mount tire on rim. At this point, total
Optimization is achieved.
GRAM TO OUNCE DISPLAY CONVERSION
NOTE:
The Balancer default settings will display all weight units in Grams and must be switched
to display Ounces if desired. To do so:
• Press “
F
”, “
a-
” and “
a+
” Keys to activate Ounce/Gram units setting
(FIG 19)
.
• Press “
b+
” or “
b-

(FIG 20)
.
• Press “
b+
” or “
b-
” Keys once again to switch units from Ounces to Grams.
GUARD SWITCH FUNCTION SETTING
This setting controls whether the Balancer automatically starts the Spin Cycle upon closing
the Guard or if the Start Key must be first pressed. To do so:
• Press “F” Key and “
STOP
” Keys to display current function status.
Note that “
ON
” denotes the Guard Closed, Automatic Start Function is activated
