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.
Options: Front wheel translation KIT
Ground securing plate KIT
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.
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.

a) standard weights: When only one measurement is made, the machine interprets the presence of a rim with clip-
on weight correction
The width value (b) must be set with the buttons
measured with the compass gauge provided.
b) adhesive weights: Make two successive measurements on two correction planes inside the rim.
The balancing machine automatically interprets that the correction will be made with adhesive weights and

the nearest value, there could be a residual static

approximation is emphasized by the fact that static
unbalance is cause of most of disturbances on the
vehicle. This new function, resident in the machine,
automatically indicates the optimum entity of the
weights to be applied by approximating them in an
“intelligent” way according to their position in order
to minimize residual static unbalance.

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.
