Make sure that the machine rests solely on the three support points provided (g. 2a).
It is advisable to secure the system to the ground using the specic feet (see Figure 2a) in the event of
continual use with wheels weighing over 35 Kg.
3.2 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The machine is supplied with a single phase mains cable plus earth (ground).
The supply voltage (and mains frequency) is given on the machine nameplate. It may NOT be changed.
Connection to the mains should always be made by expert personnel.
The machine should not be started up without proper earth (ground) connection.
Connection to the mains should be through a slow acting safety switch rated at 4A (230V) or 10A (115V) .
3.3 - ADAPTER MOUNTING
The balancing machine is supplied complete with cone adapter for fastening wheels with central bore.
Other optional adapters can be mounted:
a) Back-off screw B and remove threaded end-piece A.
b) Fit the new adapter.
Fig. 4
3.4 - GUARD MOUNTING AND ADJUSTMENT
a) Fasten the components to the base as illustrated in specic exploded view.
b) The position of the wheel guard when closed can be adjusted with relative screw accessible at the back.
Correct position is the one which keeps the tube exactly horizontal with wheel guard closed.
c) Check that the microswitch is held down when the guard is closed.
d) Adjust the angular position of microswitch control.
3.5 - SPACER WD
When balancing very wide wheels (9”), there is
not enough space to turn the distance gauge.
To withdraw the wheel from the machine side,
t spacer WD on the adapter body and secure
it with the standard issue nuts. When centring
the wheel with the cone on the inside, t the DC
spacer to obtain spring thrust.

4.1 - BRAKE PEDAL
This pedal allows the operator to hold the wheel when tting the counterweights. It must not be actuated
during the measuring cycle.
Fig. 5
4.2 - AUTOMATIC DISTANCE AND DIAMETER GAUGE
This gauge allows measurement of the distance of the wheel from the machine and the wheel diameter at
the point of application of the counterweight.
It also allows correct positioning of the counterweights on the inside by using the specic function (see
INDICATION OF EXACT CORRECTION WEIGHT POSITION) which allows reading, on the monitor, the position used
for the measurement within the rim (For calibration, see GAUGE CALIBRATION).
The gauge can only be used with the counterweight pincers mounted.
4.3 - AUTOMATIC WIDTH GAUGE (OPTIONAL)
Width gauging is through a SONAR device which measures the distance of the wheel without mechanical
contact, merely by closing the guard and each time a valid measurement has been made with gauge
DISTANCE AND DIAMETER GAUGE.
4.4 - AUTOMATIC WHEEL POSITIONING

5.6 - ECCENTRICITY MEASUREMENT (OPTIONAL)
The much enlarged gures show the outer tyre surface and axis of wheel rotation.
Fig. A shows measurement of the total Peak-to-Peak eccentricity dened as maximum radial deviation
of the tyre surface.
Fig. B shows measurement of the eccentricity of the 1st harmonic, i.e. the eccentricity of that circle which
“recopies” the tyre shape, by averaging the local deviations of the tyre from the round shape.
Obviously the P.P. measurement is normally greater than that of the 1st harmonic. Tyre manufacturers
normally supply two different tolerances for the two eccentricities.
At the end of the balancing spin it is possible to automatically measure the eccentricity of the tyre
through the SONAR sensor installed on the guard. The sensor should be positioned by hand in front
of the tyre tread.

regarding machine operation.
6.2 - UNIT OF UNBALANCE MEASUREMENT
It is possible to select whether to display the unbalance values expressed in grams or ounces .
6.3 - UNBALANCE DISPLAY THRESHOLD
This consists of the unbalance threshold below which the wording “-OK-” appears on the screen at the end
of the spin instead of the unbalance; the presettable values vary according to the unit of measurement
selected.
6.4 - UNBALANCE DISPLAY PITCH
This represents the display pitch of the unbalance and varies according to the unit of measurement
selected. The selection “5 g” (1/4 oz) enables display of the correction values on both sides such as to
bring the static unbalance to 0 (theoretical). It is recommended to preset this function as standard use
of the machine as it improves the balancing quality. The computer makes a complex calculation which
allows cancelling the residual static unbalance by varying the value and position of the counterweights
xed in steps of 5 grams (1/4 oz).
6.5 - SPIN WITH GUARD CLOSED
When “ON” is selected the automatic start of the spin is enabled when the guard is closed.
6.6 - SCREEN-SAVER TIME
When the machine remains unused for longer than the time preset with this function, the processor
automatically returns to the Initial screen. Preset the time in seconds.
6.7 - VISUAL ECCENTRICITY CHECK
At the end of wheel acceleration, as soon as the motor is disengaged, the guard can be opened for visual
control of any wheel eccentricity as the rotation speed gradually drops.
Do not strike the wheel during the entire deceleration stage; to brake the wheel, close the guard. However,
avoid using the brake as far as possible because this may compromise unbalance measurements. The
unbalance values measured are only displayed when the wheel has come to a standstill.
This function is active for only one machine run.
6.8 - ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
When “ON” is selected. the sending of an acoustic signal (beep)) is enabled in the following cases:
- when any push button is pressed;
- when dimensions are acquired in automatic mode;

ERROR MEANING
1 No rotation signal. Could be due to a faulty position transducer, or to the
motor failing to start, or to something preventing the wheel from turning.
2 During the measurement spins, wheel speed had dropped below 60
r.p.m. Check encoder functioning (see TO CHECK THE ENCODER) and repeat the spin.
3 Error in the mathematical calculations, most probably caused by incorrect
carrying out of the self-calibration. Repeat the self-calibration. Wheel
unbalance too high.
4 Motor turning in opposite direction.
5 Guard open before start of spin.
7/8/9 Fault in the machine setup parameters.
