5.3 Balancing procedure
For determination of unbalance the following inputs
have to be made:
- wheel type
- balancing mode (weight fitting position on rim)
- wheel size (nominal width and nominal diameter)
- distance between machine and left correction plane
The wheel dimensions to be entered are usually given
on the rim (in inches or mm on standard wheels, in mm
on TD or TRX wheels). Rim diameter is also given on
the tire.
It is useful to find out rim size before the wheel is
clamped on the machine.
The RIM DATA INPUT menu can be accessed in two
ways:
•
By pressing menu key F4 - Balancing - in the main
menu (Fig. 5.3-1).
The BALANCING screen (Fig. 5.3-2) appears.
•
Press menu key F1 Rim data input in the
BALANCING menu.
The RIM DATA INPUT screen (Fig. 5.3-3) appears. or
•
By picking up both gauge arms in the main menu
(Fig. 5.3-1).
The system automatically switches to the RIM DATA
INPUT screen (Fig. 5.3-3).
