Important Note:
If the distance between your tape weights is less than 4” or 5”, this
could cause an inaccurate balance. The weights should be greater
than 4” or 5” apart.
The arrows shown in this diagram represent the distance between
the wheel weights. The machine is very accurate and if the
weights are too close together, it will cause the machine to have
trouble distinguishing between the inner plane and outer plane of
the wheel. The weights should be separated as much as possible.
If you are chasing weights, or are not able to balance the wheel
because the weights are less than 4” or 5” apart, consider
dynamically balancing the wheel with two clip-on weights. If this is
not desirable, you can also balance the wheel in static mode with
one tape weight.
Helpful Tip:
If the wheel weights are greater than 4” or 5” apart and you are having
trouble balancing a wheel, remove the wheel weights and make sure the weights are in
the correct position. You should not have to add more weight than it calls for initially. If
it calls for more weight on the second spin, move the weights you added towards the
area it wants more weight.
