LS43B Laser-Spot™ Wheel Balancer 

35

 

P/N 5900086 — Rev. A1 — 12/212018 

Static Balancing 

Static Balancing is for older Wheels under 4 inches wide and motorcycle Wheels. 

Note

:  The Optimize Function is 

not

 available for Static Mode. 

If the Wheel is out of balance, weight goes on the Center Plane when using Static Mode. 

 

 

To Balance a Wheel using Static Mode

1.

 

Make sure you are wearing ANSI-approved eye protection: safety glasses, face shield, or goggles. 

2.

 

Visually inspect the Balancer to make sure everything is in place. The Hood should be 

up

3.

 

Mount the Wheel you want to balance. 
Refer to 

Mounting a Wheel

 for mounting instructions, if needed. 

4.

 

Turn the Balancer Off and then back On, to reset it. 

5.

 

On the Control Panel, press the 

F

 button until the 

STA

 (Static) indicator is lit. 

6.

 

Pull out the Inner Arm and place it on the 

Center Plane

 and hold it there; 

wait for the Balancer 

to beep

7.

 

When the Balancer beeps, return the Inner Arm to its normal location. 
Numerical values appear in the Inner and Outer Windows. If they do not, it means the 
measurement was not noted correctly by the Balancer and thus you will 

not

 be able to correctly 

balance the Wheel. Start over at Step 4. 

8.

 

Lower the Hood; the Wheel spins briefly. 

9.

 

Raise the Hood when the Wheel stops. 
The Inner Window shows 

St

 and the Center Plane indicator is lit. 

The Outer Window shows the weight you need to add to the Center Plane, if weight needs to be 
added. 

10.

 

Turn the Wheel slowly to find the best location to put the weight. 

11.

 

When the Wheel is in the right location, it automatically locks and a laser beam appears at the spot 
where the Balancer wants you to add the weight. 

12.

 

Add the correct amount of weight centered on the laser location. 

13.

 

Lower the Hood to spin the Wheel again. 
The Outer Window shows 

00

 When the Wheel is balanced.
