1. 1 - GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
The machine should only be used by authorized and suitably trained personnel. Do not use the machine for purposes other than those specifi ed in this manual. The machine should not be modifi ed in any way except for those modifi cations explicitly carried out by
specialised personnel. Never remove the safety dehyvices. Any work on the machine should only be carried out by specialised
personnel.
Carefully clean the coupling surfaces before performing any operation.
Avoid using strong jets of compressed air for cleaning. Use alcohol to clean the plastic panel or shelves (AVOID LIQUIDS CONTAINING SOLVENTS). Before starting the wheel balancing cycle, make sure that the wheel is securely locked on the adapter. The machine operator should avoid wearing clothes with fl apping edges. Make sure that unauthorized
personnel do not approach the machine during the work cycle.
Avoid placing objects inside the cabinet as they could impair the correct operation of the machine.
1.1.1 - STANDARD SAFETY DEVICES
Low rotation speed. STOP push button for stopping the wheel under emergency conditions. The safety guard (option) of high impact plastic is with shape and size designed to prevent risk of
counterweights from fl ying out in any direction except towards the fl oor.
A microswitch prevents starting the machine if the guard is not lowered and stops the wheel whenever
the guard is raised.
Protection system on LIFT control.
1.2 - FIELD OF APPLICATION
The machine is designed for balancing wheels of cars and motor vehicles weighing up to 250 kg. It can be operated in the temperature range of 0° to + 45°C.

TO LIFT THE MACHINE, LEVER ONLY ON THE BASE WHERE THE 3 SUPPORT POINTS ARE LOCATED. N
EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUSTANCE, APPLY FORCE TO OTHER POINTS SUCH AS THE SPINDLE, HEAD, OR ACCESSORY SHELF.
Check that the balancing machine touches the fl oor at the three support points. It functions properly without having to fasten it to the fl oor with wheels weighing up to 160 kg; for heavier
wheels, fasten it at the points indicated.

3.1 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
T
HE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION MUST BE MADE BY SPECIALIZED PERSONNEL. CONNECTION TO THE SINGLE PHASE MAINS MUST
BE MADE BETWEEN PHASE AND NEUTRAL, AND NEVER, UNDERANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BETWEEN PHASE AND EARTH (GROUND).
E
FFICIENT EARTHING (GROUNDING) IS ESSENTIAL FOR CORRECT MACHINE OPERATION. THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES
RESPONSIBILITY AND WARRANTY IN THE EVENT OF INCORRECT CONNECTION.
ALL
Before connecting the machine to the mains through relative cable, check that the mains voltage matches the one shown on the nameplate at the back of the balancing machine. Rating of the electrical connection should be on the basis of the machine electrical power consumption (see nameplate).
The machine mains supply cable should be fi tted with a plug conforming to current regulations. It is recommended to provide the machine with its own electrical connection through a slow acting safety switch
rated at 4 A (230 V) or 10 A (115 V).
When connection is made directly to the main control panel without using any plug, it is advisable to padlock the
main switch of the balancing machine in order to limit its use to authorized personnel only.
3.2 - PNEUMATIC CONNECTION
The machine must be connected to the compressed air supply and must not be used if the pressure is below 5 kg/ cm2 (5 bar; 72 PSI; 0.5 MPa). The maximum input pressure is limited to 10 kg/cm2 (~10 Bar; ~145 PSI; ~1 MPa). The spinning and braking device is calibrated at the factory and cannot be modifi ed.
3.3 - ADAPTER MOUNTING
The wheel balancer is supplied complete with cone type adapter for fastening wheels with central bore. The threaded terminal is fi tted according to the dra wing; it can be removed to fi t optional adapters. It can be removed to fi t optional adapters.
3. 4 - WHEEL MOUNTING
The wheels should be fastened with one of the numerous adapters manufactured by the manufacturer (see enclosed brochures). Incorrect centering inevitably causes unbalance.
3.5 - WHEEL GUARD ASSEMBLY AN D ADJUSTMENT (option)
Fasten the components to the base as illustrated in the specifi c exploded drawing1.
The positions of these guards can be adjusted using the special screws accessed from inside the main support2.
With th3. e guard closed check that the microswitch prod has slipped into place on the ring; to this end, adjust the
angular position of the control ring if necessary.
3.6 - LIFT
The function of the lift is to make it easier to mount the wheel on the balancer spindle with the minimum manual effort. The pneumatic circuit of the machine has been designed to give the lift considerable fl exibility of movement in any position along its travel. The lift is driven with the control pedal.
DURING LIFT MOVEMENT, KEEP AWAY FROM ITS RANGE OF ACTION.

After performing a balancing spin, the amounts of unbalance are shown on the digital readouts. Digital readouts with LED lit up indicate the correct angular wheel position to mount the counterweights (12 o’clock positi
on).
If the unbalance is less than the threshold selected, 0 is displayed instead of the unbalance; with it is possible to read the values below the threshold chosen.

5.2.4 - OPPOSITE POSITION
In th e normal balancing condition the weight is applied at 12 o'clock and shown
on the display.
The balancing machine can also indicate the correction position on the bottom vertical line (see SETUP to select the O.P. function).This is very useful for cor rection of light alloy rims with adhesive weights where the rim is normally clea ned; the counterweight is pressed onto the rim surface in a visible area
5.2.5 - SPLIT FUNCTION (HIDDE N ADHESIVE WEIGHTS)
The SPLIT function is used to position the adhesive weights behind the wheel spokes so that they are not visible. This function should be used in ALU mode where the adhesive weight is applied on the outside. Input the wheel dimensions and do a spin.

5.2.6 - UNBALANCE OPTIMIZATION
This function serves to reduce the amount of weight to be added in order to balance the wheel
It is suitable for static unbalance exceeding 30 g. It improves the residual eccentricity of the tyre.
This operation is required if no unbalance has been measured previously; other­wise go to the next step

approximation is emphasized by the fact that static unbalance is cause of most of disturbances on the vehicle.

7.1 - INCONSISTENT UNBALANCE READINGS
Sometimes after balancing a wheel and removing it from the balancing machine, it is found that, mounting it on the
machine again, the wheel is not balanced. This does not depend on incorrect indication of the machine, but only on faulty mounting of the wheel on the adapter i.e. in the two mountings the wheel has assumed a different position with respect to the balancing machine shaft centre line. If the wheel has been mounted on the adapter with screws, it could be possible that the screws have not been correctly tightened, i.e. crosswise one by one, or else (as often occurs) holes have been drilled on the wheel with too wide tolerances. Small errors, up to 10 grams (0.4 oz) are to be considered normal in wheels locked by a cone; the error is normally greater for wheels fastened with screws. If, after balancing, the wheel is found to be still out-of-balance when refi tted on the vehicle, this could be due to unba- lance of the car brake drum or very often due to the holes for the screws on the rim and drum sometimes drilled with too wide tolerances. In such case a readjustment could be advisable using the balancing machine with the wheel mounted on the car.
8 - ROUTINE MAINTENANCE (see exploded drawings) (for non specialized personnel only
Always disconnect the machine from the mains before carrying out any operation.
8.1 - TO REPLACE THE DRIVING PULLEY
,
The drive pulley is guaranteed by the manufacturer for approximately 20000 runs. A spare pulley is found inside the base (see photograph).
If necessary, to replace the pulley, proceed as follows:
- Remove the head and the weight holder shelf, taking care not to damage the electric wires
- Remove the retaining screw on the pulley in order to replace it
8.2 - TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PAD
Back-off the two screws fastening the worn brake pad to the motor mounting brake. Securely fi x the new brake pad by tightening the screws.
8 .3 - TO REPLACE THE FUSES
Remove the weight holder shelf to gain access to the power supply board where the fuses are located. If fuses require replacement, use ones of the same current rating. If the fault persists, contact Technical Service.
8 .4 - MAINTENANCE OF THE PNEUMATIC CIRCUIT
It is important to periodically clean the compressed air fi lter.
N.B.: DRAIN FREQUENTLY ANY CONDENSATE BUILT UP IN THE FILTER BOWL VIA RELATIVE VALVE. NONE OF THE OTHER MACHINE PARTS REQUIRE MAINTENANCE.
