1. Prepare adhesive symbols to identify the wheels.
2. Mount the first wheel, measure the dimensions, balance it and identify it with the number 1.
3. Dismount the wheel and mount the next one, close the guard and balance the wheel without acquiring the dimensions again.
4. Repeat step 3 for the remaining 3 wheels, plus any spare wheel, each time identifying the wheel with a progressive number from 2 to 5.
5. Each time the spindle is opened, the wheel balancing machine indicates the best way to mount the wheels balanced up to that point. On the left-hand side of the screen, a stylized vehicle is displayed with the four tyres plus the spare wheel; at each spin, the number of the wheel to be mounted in each position is indicated on each of them (right/left front/rear axle).
6. The procedure can be reset by measuring the dimensions like for a new wheel. If the spindle is incorrectly opened, the balancing sequence is interrupted and consequently the end result will be incorrect.

6.15.1 Runout
6.15.1.1 When and why TO USE MATCHING
The software associated with the eccentricity measure­ment is a powerful tool to determine the need to perform the relative rotation between the wheel and the rim in order to reduce the eccentricity to within acceptable lim­its. The criterion used is based on the fact that a rim with acceptable tolerance, mounted with acceptable tyre, can statistically generate an unacceptable total eccentricity that can be improved by matching. ER 100 is capable of automatically measuring the ec­centricity of both the tyre and the rim from the inside. The latter measurement generally corresponds to the rim eccentricity in the tyre fitting area.

BPC (Best Possible Correction) Provides the best possible solution for reduction of vibrations noticeable in the vehicle.
Many elements affect the vibration perceived in the vehicle due to wheel unbalances:
Residual static unbalance
Residual dynamic (or torque) unbalance
Wheel weight (the heavier the wheel, the less the unbalance will make it vibrate)
Wheel diameter (on which the application radiuses of the counterweights depend)
Comparison between conventional balancing and the BPC method
CONVENTIONAL BALANCING:
▪ Given a set tolerance of 5g, a wheel is considered balanced also with a residual unbalance of 4.9g per plane in
approximately the same angular position. This means that a static unbalance of 9.8 grams is tolerated, even though the static unbalance is deemed the main cause of vibrations noticeable by the driver.
▪ The balancing tolerance for all wheel types, not taking any unbalance of 10g into account, produces different
vibrations on a 13” or a 22" wheel. The residual vibrations are inversely proportional to the wheel weight.
▪ The angular position of the residual unbalances is not taken into account.
BALANCING USING THE BPC METHOD:
▪ With this method, the balancing tolerance value is reprocessed based on the wheel dimensions and the permissible
residual static and torque unbalances, which are numerically different (greater torque unbalance than static unbalance is permitted).
▪ The tolerance no longer refers to the correction planes but is UNIQUE and indicates the residual vibration limit
value permissible on the wheel.
▪ An indicator on the screen provides information on the residual vibration obtained after balancing with respect
to the maximum tolerable vibration.
▪ Bymeans of complex mathematical calculations, it indicates how many and where correction weights should be
added for the best possible reduction of the vibrations noticeable by the driver. This means that the customer receives the best possible service.
ENGLISH
No alternative method can be more accurate, using moderate weights with steps of 5g.
The machine also measures by HOW MUCH the “noticeable vibration” in the vehicle has been reduced with respect to the conventional method, indicating the percentage reduction, i.e. by how much it has improved with respect to conventional machines.
Less vibration, more satised customers!
Display pitch: This represents the unbalance display pitch and varies based on the unit of measure
selected. such as to set the static unbalance value to 0 (theoretical).
It is advisable to set this function for normal use of the machine, as it improves the

Correctly set the length of the correction weights in order to improve the balancing quality.
Default parameter setting: Resets the default machine settings.
The zinc weights used for balancing generally become very long as the weight increases; in this condition the weight can no longer be considered concentrated at the barycentre and the effect, for example, is a weight of only 47 instead of 50 grams.
Correctly setting the length of the correction weights allows the wheel balancing machine to automatically com­pensate for the fact that all the weight cannot be applied at one point.

10.1.1 Introductory notes
This machine has been designed so as not to require rou­tine maintenance, apart from accurate periodic cleaning. It is important to keep the machine perfectly clean in or­der to prevent dust or impurities from compromising the operation of the balancer.
Specialist staff must be authorised and especially trained concerning the dangers that may arise during operation and the correct methods for avoiding them. They must always work with great care and pay full at­tention.
If, exceptionally, the staff removes the guards to carry out a particular specialist technical maintenance, inspection or repair job, they are required to put them back after work.
After work, staff must make sure that foreign objects, in particular mechanical pieces, tools or devices used dur­ing the operative procedure that could cause damage or malfunctions are not left inside the balancer.
For safety, before starting work, maintenance, inspection and repair staff must disconnect all power sources and take all the necessary preventive safety measures.
As well as operating frequencies, the operations described below indicate the qualifications that staff must possess in order to perform the operation.

As extraordinary maintenance must be performed by service staff or, in any case, by specifically authorised and trained people, is not dealt with in this manual.
10.1.2 Safety rules
Performing specialist activities on the equipment, particu­larly if the guards need to be dismounted, exposes people to serious danger due to the presence of potentially live parts.
The rules shown below must be scrupulously followed.
People must always use the Personal Protective Equip­ment indicated in the Installation Manual. During activi­ties, unauthorised people may not access the equipment and WORK IN PROGRESS signs will be erected in the department in such a way that they are visible from every place of access.
Some protection fuses are located on the power board (see wiring diagrams) accessible by dismantling the weight shelf). If fuses require replacement, use ones with an identical current intensity.
10.1.4 Periodic cleaning

11.1 DISPOSING OF THE BALANCER
The balancer must be disposed of after dismounting the various parts.
For disposal operations, as well as wearing the Personal Protective Equipment indicated in the INSTALLATION MANUAL, refer to the instructions and diagrams in this manual. If necessary, request specific information from the manufacturer.
Once you have removed the various parts and components, separate them into the different types of materials according to the differentiated waste disposal regulations in force in the country where the machine is dismantled.
12. Spare parts
ENGLISH
12.1 IDENTIFICATION AND ORDERING METHOD
The various parts can be identified using the explodeddraw­ings, the electrical drawings and diagrams in the machine technical file which is archived by the Manufacturer to which a request can be made.
For off-the-shelf parts, the technical manuals or the sup­plier’s original documents can be provided if the Manu­facturer deems this to be useful.
If not supplied, this documentation is also included in the machine Technical File, archived by the Manufacturer, as regards by Ministerial Decree 98/37/EC. In this case, contact the Technical Service to identify the required piece.
If the required pieces are not in any position or they can­not be identified, contact the Technical Service, specify­ing the type of machine, its serial number and year of construction.
This information is indicated on the machine identifica­tion plate.
If the various components must be stored before being taken to the dump, make sure to keep them in a safe place protected from atmospheric agents in order to prevent them from contaminating the ground and the water table.
11.2 DISPOSING OF ELECTRONICS COMPONENTS
Community directive 2002/96/EC, assimilated in Italy with legislative decree n° 151 of 25th July 2005, requires electrical and electronic equipment manufacturers and users to comply with a number of obligations concerning the collection, treatment, recovery and disposal of this waste.
Please scrupulously comply with these waste disposal regulations. Remember that abusive dumping of this waste leads to the application of the administrative penalties established by current law.
