4.0 OPERATION OF THE BALANCER
WARNING: For operator safety please read
and follow the precautions outlined on
pages 1 and 2 of this manual.
NOTE: Read all instructions before pro-
ceeding with operation of the balancer.
All balancer functions are input into the main computer
through the large easy to read touch panel. Although
each wheel tire assembly differ in some ways all balanc-
ing jobs require basically the same procedure. The or-
der of events to take place are:
1. Inspection of the wheel/tire assembly
2. Selection of proper cones or mount
3. Mounting wheel onto shaft or adapter
4. Selection of Balancing Mode or placement
5. Entry of wheel parameters
6. Spinning the wheel
7. Applying the recommended weight
8. Check spin if desired
9. Dismounting the wheel
The following operation instructions will follow the basic
outline above.
4.1 CHECK LIST - INSPECTION
Observe Before Balancing Wheel
1. Check for proper air pressure. If not correct, inflate to
correct pressure.
2. Check for any foreign material inside tire. If present,
remove before balancing tire.
WATER IS FOREIGN MATERIAL!
3. Remove old weights — old weights may be improper
value or in wrong location.
4. Be sure tire and wheel are free of excessive dirt, rust
and large stones.
5. Be sure that the right size tire has been mounted on the
wheel.
4.2 WHEEL MOUNTING
4.2.1 Standard MC Wheels
Perform an P4 adapter calibration:
A.
Mount Adapter to be compensated.
B.
Press and hold
P,
while turning Diameter/Function
knob until
4
is displayed, when the
P
button is re-
leased, the function will activate.
C.
When P4 activates, display reads:
“
CAL ADP
”- for 1 second, followed by: “
SPN 1
“
D.
Hand spin the shaft using the left side hand crank.
The display reads “
CAL 1
” while the machine is
doing calculations. Do not disturb the machine dur-
ing calculations. Do not tap on or touch the ma-
chine. After calculations, shaft is stopped and dis-
plays: “
CAL ADP FIN
” for one second. Continue
with motorcycle wheel mounting and balancing pro-
cedures.
WARNING:
Before performing balancing procedures, inspect the
wheel and tire for proper size match. Inspect tire car-
cass for imperfections, signs of damage, tire plugs,
cracks or any other imperfection that could create a haz-
ard in a high performance application.
WARNING:
Always wear proper safety glasses when using a tire
balancer. Remove any loose weights before proceeding.
Spinning wheel assemblies could cause loose weights
to dislodge and strike the operator. Do not allow bystand-
ers near the machine when in operation.
1.
Slide a compression spring and centering cone onto
the spindle.
2.
Select addidtional pressure discs if required, and slide
them over the spindle, cone and compression spring.
When using the laminated pressure disc, always
face the laminated side toward the wheel. See Fig-
ure 11.
3.
Place the Motorcycle wheel over the spindle, with
the brake rotor or closed side of drum facing the
pressure disc.
