9.0 OptiLine, Balancing a Set of Wheels
The “OptiLine” advanced feature provides a
solution to a pull problem on a car that cannot
be fixed by a wheel aligner but is related to
the conicity of the tire.
NOTE: This feature is not available as stan-
dard with the BFH1000 wheel balancer but
is to be purchased in addition.
On the BFH 1000 wheel balancer the outer
tire surface is scanned by the lasers and the
result calculated into a pull index. After 4
wheels are measured the balancer proposes
the best position for each wheel on the car in
a way that the wheel pull index on each axle
is compensated or minimized.
The feature “OptiLine” is selected in the BFH
1000 “Optima” screen by pushing the
F6 but-
ton. See Figures 38 and 39
When the “
OptiLine
” mode is selected the picto-
rial in the status bar changes
from to
Depending on the measurements, the BAL-
ANCING screen or the ENTRY screen will
come up. After the wheel has been matched
and / or the imbalance has been corrected,
the wheel is unclamped from the balancer and
the
SET OF WHEELS 1 screen will come up.

The wheel can now be entered to the set by
pushing either F3, F4 or F5. A tag in the color
of the wheel on the screen is attached to the
valve stem to identify the wheel clearly after
all wheels in the set have been measured.
