1 - General
1.1 - General safety regulations
-The wheel balancer may only be used by duly authorized and trained personnel.
- The wheel balancer must not be used for purposes other than those described in the instruction manual.
- The wheel balancer must not be modied in any way except for those modications made
explicitly by the manufacturer.
- Do not remove the safety devices. Any work on the machine must be carried out by specialised personnel
only.
- Avoid using strong jets of compressed air for cleaning.
- Use alcohol to clean plastic panels or shelves (AVOID LIQUIDS CONTAINING SOLVENTS).
- Before starting the wheel balancing cycle, make sure that the wheel is securely locked on the ange.
- The machine operator must not wear clothes with apping parts. Do not allow unauthorized personnel to
approach the wheel balancer when the cycle is running.
- Avoid placing objects in the base which could impair the correct operation of the wheel balancing machine.
1.1.1 - Standard safety devices
- The wheel guard is not compulsory since the balancing speed is less than 100 min
-1.
1.2 - Field of application
The machine is designed for balancing wheels of cars, light commercial vehicles or motorcycles weighing less than 75 kg.
It can be operated in a temperature range of 0° to + 45° C.
The following functions are provided: ALU-S; SPLIT; Unbalance optimisation; Autodiagnostics; Autocalibration.

Note: DO NOT LIFT THE WHEEL BALANCER USING OTHER GRIPS.
3 - Startup
3.1 - Anchoring
The machine can operate on any at non resilient oor.
Make sure that the machine rests solely on the three support points provided (Fig.2a).
3.2 - Electrical connection
The machine is provided with net supply (AC) and cable for battery supply (12-24VDC).
The supply voltage (and mains frequency) is given on the machine nameplate. It cannot be changed.
The machine should not be started up without proper earthing.
Connection to the mains should be through a slow acting safety swich rated at 0.5 A (230V). See attached diagram.

3.3 - Flange mounting
3
The wheel balancer is supplied complete with cone
anges
for xing wheels with a central hole. Other optional
anges can be mounted:
a) Remove the threaded end-piece A after unscrewing
the screw B.
b) Mount the new ange (see attached sheets).
Note: CAREFULLY CLEAN THE COUPLING
SURFACES BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
OPERATION.
3.4 - WD spacer
When balancing very wide wheels (9”), there is not enough space to turn the distance gauge. To move the wheel
away from the machine side, t the WD spacer on the ange body and secure it with the standard issue nuts. When
centring the wheel with cone from the inside, mount the DC spacer to obtain spring thrust.

4.1 - Manual distance measurement gauge
This gauge serves to manually measure the distance between the point of application of the counterweight and the
machine.
