SELECTING WEIGHT POSITIONS

FOR DIFFERENT WHEEL TYPES

Prior to balancing, a specific 

FUNCTION

must

be  chosen  for  each  particular  wheel. The
function  settings automatically compensate
weight location requirements for a particular
wheel type. These settings can be selected by
depressing the 

FUN

button. 

Dynamic

For balancing standard steel or alloy wheels
using clip-on weights attached to inner and
outer wheel edges.

Static

This function is used if stick-on weights are to
be mounted to the center plane ( hidden ) and
not to either inner or outer edges of the wheel. 

AL1

This function is used if stick-on weights are to
be mounted to both inner and outer planes of
the wheel. 

AL2

This function is used if stick-on weights are to
be mounted to the  inner and center planes of
the wheel. 

AL3

This function is used if stick-on weights are to
be mounted to the outer edge and inner plane
of the wheel. 

AL4

This function is used if stick-on weights are to
be mounted to the inner edge and outer plane
of the wheel. 

SELF-CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

The 

CAL

button is used for self-calibration.

Since this balancer is a precision machine
it  is  required  that  you  perform periodic
calibrations to assure its accuracy. 

NOTE:

Before performing the self-calibration procedure, 

make sure the shaft and centering cones are 

clean and undamaged. Even the slightest dirt or 

damage can cause inaccurate readings. 

PAY CLOSE ATTENTION

to the following 

procedure. If not followed correctly, the balancer 

will not perform accurately. 

This balancer 

should be self-calibrated every 30 days.

1. Turn on the power. 

2. Select a centering / mounting cone that best fits the center
hole of the wheel. (

NOTE:

A standard 14” steel wheel is

recommended for this procedure.)

3. Lift the wheel onto the arbor and slide it back against the
arbor hub.

4. Slide the cone over the arbor and into the center hole of the
wheel. It will be necessary to lift the wheel slightly.

5. While holding the wheel and cone in position, thread the
hub nut over the arbor and secure tightly.  

6. Enter the correct wheel data. ( Refer to page 12 )

7. Press the

FUN

DY (DYNAMIC)

setting.

8. First press the 

CAL

button ( and hold ) then the 

START

button. Hold both simultaneously for six seconds. The display
screen will flash momentarily then display

.

9. Press the 

START

button. The wheel will spin for

approximately six seconds then stop.  

ADD - 100

will be

displayed. 

10. Place one 100 gram weight  (included with balancer) on
the outside edge of the wheel directly opposite the valve stem. 

11. Press the

START

button once again. The wheel will spin

for approximately six seconds then stop. 

12.
