5 WHEEL BALANCING
5.1 Wheel balancing procedure
Balance the wheel in accordance with the following procedure.
- activate the machine state «New wheel»;
- prepare and mount the wheel (5.2);
- in case of necessity change the type of balanced wheel: motor car or motorcycle wheel
(5.3);
- enter wheel data if necessary (5.4);
- fulfil the imbalance measurement (5.5);
- set weights if necessary (5.6);
- make check measurement (5.5).
5.2 Wheel mounting
While wheel mounting it’s necessary to remember that the machine should be kept clean. Avoid dust
and moisture penetration inside the machine, water pouring and splashing on control panels and
openings in the machine body.
5.2.1 Truck-car wheel mounting
Before balancing, clean the wheel to be balanced, and remove all weights, set
previously. Mount the wheel on the shaft in accordance with figures 5.1 depending on the wheel
rim design.
Wheels with hub bore diameter 281 mm shall be mounted as shown on Figure 5.1. Fasten
the thrust ring on drive shaft by means of two bolts.
Figure 5.1 Figure 5.2
Using control lever, initialize lift for wheel loading.
Roll the wheel to the lift platform.
Lift the wheel by moving pneumatic switch lever up as shown on Figure 5.2; make sure
that the wheel is in alignment with spindle shaft. Then move the lift with the wheel to spindle
cup with thrust ring, mount the wheel on thrust ring (diameter 281 mm) and fasten it by means
one of two adapters and a nut.
Tighten up the nut in three positions, each time rotating the wheel by the third part of the
turn. Make sure that the wheel is mounted properly in all positions: stand near the shaft and pull
on the wheel.
Move pneumatic switch lever down to lower forklift grab and move it to the machine body.
Wheel removal shall be fulfilled in reverse sequence.
16
Wheel balancer 80-2000T. Operation Manual p.17
5.2.2 Motor-car wheel mounting
Before balancing, clean the wheel to be balanced, and remove all weights, set
previously. Mount the wheel on the shaft in accordance with figures 5.3 depending on the wheel
rim design.
а – cone from inside b – cone from inside with shaft spacer
c - cone from outside d - JEEP set
e – flange plate setting f – daps for adaptors fixing
Figure 5.3 – Wheel mounting
It is recommended to mount the wheel with cone outside, Figure 5.3b in case of correct
construction of the wheel and quality of the outer margin of the opening. In this case wheel
centering is more correct and shaft and nut thread wear is much less.
Wheel mounting with shaft spacer delivered on request (Figure 5.3b) is recommended
when the cone is mounted from inside, if the cone is set deeply in the wheel opening and
insufficiently compresses the spindle spring while tightening up the wheel nut. The stronger the
spring is compressed; the better is the wheel centering.
Wheel mounting on the flange plate adapter delivered on request (Figure 5.3e) imitates the
wheel fastening on the car hub and allows balancing the wheel more precisely. Initially, it’s
necessary to fasten the flange on the wheel, and then mount the wheel with the flange on the
machine spindle.
17
Wheel balancer 80-2000T. Operation Manual p.18
Parameters of the flange holes arrangement for wheel fastening bolts are given in
table 5.1. The list of car models the wheels of which have the same fastening parameters is
given in Appendix A.

108 5
For mounting motorcycle wheels and wheels without the central hole it’s necessary to use
special adaptors to be purchased separately. The adaptors should be mounted using daps or
holes 1 in the shaft cup shown in Figure 5.3f.
After mounting the adaptors, fastened on the shaft in fixed position it’s necessary to fulfil
the procedure of their imbalance compensation according to clause 7.5. Deactivate the adaptor
compensation mode after removing the adaptor.
The adaptor compensation procedure should be fulfilled before the wheel mounting!
If the adapter's imbalance does not exceed 3 gr adaptor compensation is not necessary.
While mounting the wheel it’s initially recommended to draw it slightly by clamping nut
leaving a small end float. Then turn the wheel for one revolution, rocking it by hands. After that
completely tighten the nut. For better wheel centering it is recommended to raise it by left hand
while tightening the nut.
In order to facilitate the wheel mounting and dismounting in mode «New wheel» it’s possible to
activate the shaft braking mode by pressing the button STOP .
5.3 Entering the type of the wheel: motor car or truck car
Check the current type of the wheel shown by the icons in the information field
and . If it's necessary to change the wheel type press the button CAR .
5.4 Wheel parameters input
If it is not necessary to change the parameters for example when the wheel is exactly the same as the
previous one - you can immediately proceed to imbalance measuring.
To enter dimensions it is necessary to measure diameter and distance by means of the
electronic gauge arm in «New wheel» state.
If the gauge arm doesn't reach the rim use gauge arm extender according to 7.6.
For measurement move the gauge arm close to the rim according to Figure 5.4a. The
image will appear on the display, shown in Figure 5.4b. Wait for a sound signal. Move the
gauge arm into the initial position.

rotates on one turn with small speed.
If the automatic transition into the «New wheel» is enabled (8.1.7) in case of «zero» results
in both dimensions the machine switches from weights setting state into «New wheel» state.
5.6 Weight setting
The machine will be switched over to the weight setting state after the imbalance
measurement and wheel stop. The shaft with the wheel will automatically turn to a desired
position and weights masses will be shown on a display, Figure 5.7.
а – set the clip-on weight of 150 gr. on the left b – set the stick-on weight of 150 gr. on the left in

7 ADDITIONAL POSSIBILITIES
7.1 Effective alloy wheels balancing - SmartALU technology
There are a lot of different types of alloy wheels so places of stick-on weights fastening
can be different. As a result even in case of using a fault-free and well-calibrated machine the
precise wheel balancing may need two or more cycles. It's especially difficult to balance wheels
with great imbalance. SmartALU technology helps to lessen the number of cycles: the first
wheel from the set will require two cycles, the other wheels will require only one cycle basically.
SmartALU technology is based upon the following principle: if imbalance is great the
machine will require the training weight. After imbalance measuring with the training weight the
machine calculates real position of the training weight (diameter and distance) and then
calculates precisely residual weight. The next wheels from the set will be balanced according to
the precise parameters and correct places for the weights and weight masses will be calculated
correctly.
To switch on SmartALU mode enter the menu by pressing MENU then use UP
DOWN to choose the item «Parameters» and press EXECUTE . Then use UP
DOWN , to choose the item «SmartALU» and press CHANGE , use keys or
set "Yes", press OK . Then exit the menu by pressing EXIT . The mode indicator will
turn on (become contrast) on the information field .
To switch the SmartALU mode off do the same steps and set «no».
Wheel balancing with SmartALU mode switched on is a little bit different.
If one of the schemes shown in Figure 7.1a is used for balancing procedure and wheel
imbalance is great enough the image of test balancing request can appear on the display,
Figure 7.1b.
a - schemes working with SmartALU mode b - image of test balancing request
Figure 7.1
Set the required weight in conventional way. Low the cover for imbalance measurement.
After imbalance measuring the machine will calculate precise diameter and distance for training
weight setting. After that go on with regular balancing procedure. It is necessary to fix the
residual weight in training weight plane with keeping the training weight setting distance as
precise as possible, as it is shown in Figure 7.2!
25
Wheel balancer 80-2000T. Operation Manual p.26
Figure 7.2 - Additional weight position
After balancing the first wheel, balance the other wheel from the set in a regular way
without input of dimensions.
Calculated precise distance and diameter will be valid until input of new parameters.
For effective balancing it is necessary to:
- fix the training weight of precisely given mass;
- fix the training weight as close as possible to spokes plane.
- use rim structural components for visual locating the place of test and consequent weights setting: rim
circumference lines, line of spokes and rim coupling, etc;
- for ALU 5 scheme the left weight should be set as close as possible to the edge of the rim (Figure 5.7);
- to maintain the exact angle of weights setting it is necessary to visually control the place of setting by
looking from the side along shaft axis direction;
Remember that the more is the weight - the more precise should be its setting both according to the
angle and to the distance!
7.2 Split – «hidden weight»
The Split mode allows maintaining the good appearance of the wheel at the expense of the stick-on
weights setting behind spokes. This mode may be used for the right plane in schemes shown in
Figure 7.3. That means that the weight hiding is performed only for one plane – the plane located behind
spokes.
Figure 7.3 - Permissible weight setting schemes for the Split mode
In the majority of cases this is achieved by splitting one weight into two.
For entering the Split mode it’s necessary to press the button SPLIT in the weight
setting state. The display image will correspond to Figure 7.4. Place any of spokes to the
position “12 h” rotating the wheel by hand. Use keys PINS PINS to select the spokes
quantity. Press OK . The operation can be interrupted by pressing the button ESC
If after this operation on the right side of the display two values of mass are shown (Figure
7.5), it means that two weights are to be set on the right plane. Their setting is similar to the
usual setting of stick-on weights.
26
Wheel balancer 80-2000T. Operation Manual p.27
Figure 7.4 - Data input for the Split mode Figure 7.5 - Display image of weight setting in
the Split mode
Using the buttons SET SET set weights in accordance with the displayed
information.
The Split operation will be fulfilled in accordance with entered quantity and position of spokes in all
subsequent measurements till the transition to the state «New wheel».
In order to exit the SPLIT mode before the transition to the state «New wheel» press the
button SPLIT then – ESC .
7.3 Effective work of three operators
The machine ensures effective operation of three operators – tyre fitters. For example,
during the service of two-three cars the operators have to balance different wheels one by one.
At the same time in order not to enter the wheel data once more it’s sufficiently for each
operator to switch over number (operator 1, 2 or 3) and the dimensions will be restored.
Especially it’s useful to switch over «operators» while using the SmartALU mode or
making the optimization of the tyre position. This is a long procedure but it can be interrupted
temporarily: while «operator 1» changes the tyre position on the tyre changer, «operator 2» can
balance other wheel.
While «operator» changing over, for example, from 1 into 2:
- the current state of the machine and wheel parameters for «operator 1» are maintained;
- the machine state and wheel parameters for «operator 2» are restored.
The current number of «operator» is always displayed in the information field.
For «operator» change over press OPERATOR . The changed operator number
will appear in the information field.
The operator change can be fulfilled in «New wheel» state and during optimization.
7.4 Optimization
Optimization allows finding the tyre position relative to the wheel rim when the static
imbalance of the wheel will be minimal. This will allow:
- to reduce the mass of the balancing weights to be set;
- to improve smoothness of the wheel movement.
27
Wheel balancer 80-2000T. Operation Manual p.28
Movement smoothness may be improved if in the result of the optimization the heaviest
place of the tyre (more solid or higher) will align to the place of the minimal rim diameter.
It’s recommended to fulfil the optimization in case of the large wheel imbalance and high
requirements to movement smoothness.
The optimization process is fulfilled in the optimization mode in the following way:
- measure the initial imbalance;
- turn the tyre relative to the rim by 180;
- measure the imbalance;
- the machine calculates the new tyre position;
- turn the tyre relative to the rim to the new position;
- fulfil the imbalance control measurement.
During all measurements of the imbalance the wheel should be pumped up to the norm, all
weights should be taken off.
The optimization may be fulfilled after the imbalance measurement before the weights
setting.
Press the button OPTIMIZE .
Fulfil operations in accordance with displayed instructions.
After termination - balance the wheel in accordance with the usual procedure.
In the process of optimization while the tyre turning the other tyre fitter may balance
another wheel on the machine. For this purpose it’s necessary to switch over to the other
«operator» - press the button OPERATOR (according to 7.3). In order to continue the
optimization it’s necessary to revert to your «operator» - press the button OPERATOR .
7.5 Adaptor imbalance compensation
Any adaptor mounted on the shaft introduces its own imbalance.
For adaptors mounted on the shaft by means of bolts through slots in the shaft cup,
influence of this imbalance on the wheel balancing quality may be eliminated.
For this purpose it’s necessary to fulfil the procedure of the adaptor imbalance
compensation.
Fasten the adaptor on the shaft.
Press the key ADAPTER .Then after the request on the display lower the cover
for the imbalance measurement. After the shaft stops the indicator of the adaptor compensation
will glow (will become contrast) in the information field .
Mount wheels on the adaptor and balance them according to the usual procedure.
Disable the adaptor compensation mode after the adaptor removal.
To disable the adaptor compensation press the key ADAPTER and press ESC
. After that the adaptor compensation mode indicator will go out (will become pale) .
The adaptor compensation procedure should be fulfilled before the wheel mounting!
If the adapter's imbalance does not exceed 3 g adaptor compensation is not necessary.
28
Wheel balancer 80-2000T. Operation Manual p.29
7.6 Manual parameters setting
In some cases when for example it is impossible to use the gauge arm it is possible to
enter diameter and distance manually.
Diameter should correspond to the wheel marking. Distance is an interval from the tip of
the gauge arm in the initial position up to the rim. It can be measured by a usual ruler.
To set the parameters manually enter the menu by pressing MENU then use
UP DOWN to choose the option «Manual input of wheel parameters» and press
EXECUTE . After that the screen form for entering the parameters appears on the display.
Use keys UP DOWN to choose the parameter, then press CHANGE , use keys
to change the parameter, and then press OK . After entering all the parameters
press EXIT . To cancel entered changes and exit manual mode press ESC .
7.7 Report
The machine keeps records of balanced wheels that allow controlling fulfilled works. The
counter is protected from any interference and it may only be looked through.
Besides, the total mass of stick-on weights and quantity of set clip-on weights are
calculated.
To see the report in the state «New wheel» press the button REPORT . To select
information for another type of a wheels (motor car or truck car) press the keys .Look
through the displayed information. Press EXIT .
The registration is made as per the imbalance measurement results on the basis of a selected weight
setting scheme.
7.8 Wheel balancing recommendations
If after the weight placing during the check measurement it’s required to mount an
additional weight in the position shifted by 90 degrees from the weight mounted earlier, it means
that there is a mistake in the angle position of the mounted weight. Shift it about 10 mm in the
direction to the required location of the additional weight.
If the mistake of the angle position appears constantly and by one value, it’s necessary to
re-calibrate the imbalance sensors more thoroughly observing the angle position “12 o’clock”
while mounting the weight on the right side, or mount weights while balancing with a shift.
During the wheel mounting it’s firstly recommended to pull it by the nut. Then rotate the
wheel by one turn rocking it by hands. After this tighten the nut.

To exit the state «Parameters» with saving inputted changes press the button EXIT .
To exit the state without saving inputted changes press the button ESC .
Explanations of each parameter are given below.
8.1.1 Rounding: yes, no
If the rounding is OFF the weight mass is not rounded and will be displayed correctly.
If the rounding is ON the weight mass for truck car wheel will be rounded to values: 30 g,
50 g, 75 g, 100 g, 150 g, 200 g, etc.
If the rounding is ON the weight mass for motor car wheel will be rounded to 5 g. For
weights heavier than 60 the mass is rounded to 10 g. Besides, the mass «nulling» is performed.
Default value - yes.
8.1.2 Null threshold (car): 0…15
This item is for setting the null threshold for motor-car wheels.
If the rated weight mass is lower than the null threshold, then the indicator will display "0”.
For example, if the threshold is fixed equal to 10 grams, then with the weights mass from 1 to 9
grams the indicator will display “0”.
Nulling acts only if the rounding mode is ON.
Default value - 7.
30
Wheel balancer 80-2000T. Operation Manual p.31
8.1.3 Null threshold (truck): 15…45
This item is for setting the null threshold for truck-car wheels.
If the rated weight mass is lower than the null threshold, then the indicator will display "0”.
For example, if the threshold is fixed equal to 30 grams, then with the weights mass from 1 to
29 grams the indicator will display “0”.
Nulling acts only if the rounding mode is ON.
Default value – 15.

Default value: no.
8.1.7 Autoswitch to the «New wheel»: yes, no
Allows automatic transition into the «New wheel» state after "0" imbalance on both planes.
Default value: yes.
8.2 Shaft: Testing and calibration
Despite high accuracy of the machine its components have a small own imbalance. Shaft
calibration excludes any influence of own imbalance upon measurements.
8.2.1 Shaft calibration testing
Testing should be performed minimum 1 time per months in the motor-car mode and truckcar mode.
While testing the imbalance sensors use precise (unrounded) imbalance values, displayed
in the information filed or disable the rounding in advance (8.1.1).
Remove all accessories from the shaft. Fulfill 3…5 imbalance measurements without the
registration of results. Fulfil three imbalance measurements with the registration of results. The
average imbalance values shouldn’t exceed 1 g on each side. Otherwise, it’s necessary to fulfill

measurement accuracy. Inaccurate readings of the gauge arm may lead to the increase of
measurement cycle number during one wheel balancing. Although the gauge arm accuracy
doesn't influence balancing quality (i.e. residual wheel imbalance).
8.3.1 Gauge arm diagnostics
Gauge arm diagnostics should be done during machine operation. The diameter shown
during wheels measuring must correspond to tyre marking. In case of any mismatch it is
recommended to fulfil gauge arm calibration.
