2. The Balancing Cone Set (#7) rests on top of the tip located on top of the Shaft (#9). Make
sure the tip of the Shaft (#9) fits into the recessed area on the underside of the Balancing Cone
Set. When properly fitted, the bubble on the Level Bubble (#4) should be perfectly centered.
Note: When finding a location for the Wheel Balancer, use a level to make sure this tool
is positioned on a flat, level surface.
3. With the Wheel Balancer in place, check the balance of the Flange Set (#1). Lightly tilt the
Flange Set and let it come to rest. It should easily rock back and forth and come to rest with
the bubble centered in the Level Bubble.
1. Use a wheel clipper tool to remove all old lead wheel weights on the wheel to be balanced.
2. Lay the rim of the wheel to be balanced down over the top of the Flange Set (#1). Make
sure the wheel rim is evenly distributed on top of the Flange Set (#1). If the wheel is not prop-
erly balanced, you will notice that the bubble inside the Level Bubble (#4) is not centered and
rests to one side of the Level Bubble (#4).
3. To balance the wheel, lead wheel weights must be added to the side of the rim where the
off-center bubble rests. Place one or more lead wheel weights in place to bring the bubble
back to the center of the Level Bubble (#4). When the bubble is centered the wheel is bal-
anced. Tap the lead wheel weights to secure them to the rim.
4. Once balanced, remove the wheel from the Flange Set (#1).
Note: Wheel Clipper Tool is available from Harbor Freight Tools.
