DYNAMIC balancing of steel or light alloy rims with application of clip-on
weights on the edge of the rim.
From the measurement frame, press to select the desired correction mode.
The illuminated LEDs indicate the position where the weights should be applied. If a spin has already been carried out, each time the mode is changed, the processor automatically recalculates the unbalance values on the basis of the new setting.
- Set the distance “a” between the inside of the wheel and the machine
- Set the nominal width, normally indicated on the
rim, or measure the width “b” using the caliper gauge supplied.
- Set the nominal diameter “d” indicated on the tyre.

5.1.3 - Double operator program
This program allows memorizing the dimensions of two types of wheels. Thus two operators can work simultaneously on two differents cars using the same balancing machine. The system memorizes two programs with various present dimensions.
1 - Press
to select operator (1 or 2). Selection is confirmed by panel-mounted Led.
2 - Enter the dimensions (see PRESETTING OF WHEEL DIMENSIONS). 3 - Perform a manual spin to store the program.
With program 1 or 2 is called for subsequent balancing operations without having to newly enter the
dimensions.

5.4 - SPLIT function (hidden weight)
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 only in the case of static unbalance or where the hidden adhesive weight is to be applied on the outside. Input the wheel dimensions and do a spin. Start the SPLIT function as follows:
Example of display prior to SPLIT function
- Place the wheel in the outside unbalance correction position.
- Set one of the top spokes (preferably the one to the left of the unbalance) to 12 o’clock.
- Press the button .
- Follow the UP/DOWN indication of the positioning LEDs and set the second top spoke to 12 o’clock.
- Press button
- Set the first split unbalance to correction position 1
- Correction position 1
- Set the second split unbalance to correction position 2
- Correction position 2
N.B.: If error 24 is displayed, repeat the SPLIT function ensuring that the minimum distance between the spokes is
greater than 18 degrees. If error 25 is displayed,repeat the split function ensuring that the maximum distance between the spikes is smaller than 120 degrees.
To return to normal unbalance display, press any button.
To spin the wheel again, manually bring the wheel up to speed.

5.5 - Out of balance 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 greater than 30 g. (the led

comes on ).
- It improves the residual eccentricity of the tyre.
RIM POSITION
TYRE POSITION
- With a piece of chalk make a reference mark on the flange and the rim
- With the aid of a tyre remover, turn the tyre on the rim by 180°
- Refit the wheel in such a way that the reference marks on the rim and the flange coincide.
- Perform a manual spin
- RH display: percentage reduction value
- LH display: actual static unbalance value which can be reduced by rotation
- Mark the two positions of the rim and tyre, and turn the tyre on the rim until the positions correspond in order to obtain the optimization on the display.

5.6 - Automatic minimisation of static unbalance
This program is designed to improve the quality of balancing without any mental effort or loss of time by the operator. In fact by using the normal com­mercially available weights, with pitch of 5 in every 5 g, and by applying the two counterweights which a conventional wheel balancer rounds to the nearest value, there could be a residual static unbalance of up to 4 g. The damage of such approximation is emphasized by the fact that static unbalance is cause of most of disturbances on the vehicle. This new function 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.

6.1 - Autodiagnostics
Performs tests useful for maintenance staff.
6.2 - Autocalibration
For autocalibration proceed as follows:
- Fit a wheel with steel rim of average dimensions on the shaft. Example 6” x 14” (± 1”)
- Set the exact dimensions of the wheel mounted.
CAUTION !! Setting incorrect dimensions will result in the machine not being properly calibrated and hence all the subsequent measurements will be incorrect until a new autocalibration is performed with the correct dimensions!!
- Perform a manual spin
- Add a 60 g. sample weight (2.00 oz) on the outside in any angular position.
- Perform a manual spin
- Shift the sample weight from the outside to the inside keeping the same angular position.
- Perform a manual spin
- Turn the wheel until the sample weight is in the 12 o’clock position.
END OF AUTOCALIBRATION

6.2.1 – Specic procedure for exclusive use of the driving wheels (from memory M2691)
- Use one driving wheel with a rim width of not less than 5.5”
- Apply the sample adhesive weight of 60 g alternatively on the balconies as shown in the attached Figure 8a
- Measure the dimensions as indicated in Fig. 5
- Proceed with calibration as already described.
N.B.: The machine calibrated in this way, operates properly only for the correction modes shown below.

7.1 - Inconsistent unbalance readings
It may occur that after balancing a wheel, when removing it from the wheel balancer and then remounting it, the wheel is not balanced. This is not the result of an incorrect indication by the machine, but only of incorrect mounting of the wheel on the flange, i.e. in the two mountings the wheel has assumed a different position with respect to shaft axis of the wheel balancer. If the wheel has been mounted on the flange with screws, it may be that the screws have not been tightened correctly in gradual criss-cross manner one after the other, or (as often occurs) holes have been drilled in the wheel with too wide tolerances. Small errors, up to 10 grams (0.4 oz), are to be considered normal in wheels locked with a cone: the error is normally greater for wheels locked with screws or studs. If, after balancing, the wheel is still unbalanced when refitted on the vehicle, this could be due to the unbalance of the brake drum or very often is due to the screw holes in the rim and the drum drilled with too wide tolerances. In this case a readjustment would be advisable using the wheel balancer with the wheel mounted.
8 - Routine maintenance
Before carrying out any operation on the machine, cut the power supply to the machine.
8.1 - Replacing the protection fuses
A protection fuse is fitted on the power board, accessible by dismantling the weight shelf (see Exploded Drawings). If fuses require replacement, use ones with an identical current rating. If the fault persists, contact Technical Service.
NONE OF THE OTHER MACHINE PARTS REQUIRE MAINTENANCE.
