5.1 PRESETTING OF WHEEL DIMENSIONS
The balancing data is set by means of an “intelligent” au-
tomatic gauge; the measurement conrmation is shown on
the display. The round part of the gauge must rest on the
rim where the weight will be positioned.
a
a) standard weights: when only one measurement is
made, the machine interprets the presence of a rim with
clip-on weight correction
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
following appears:
For a different combination of the type or position of the
weights on the rim, press the buttons near the rim symbol.

5.4 SPLIT FUNCTION
(unbalance resolution)
The SPLIT function is used to position the adhesive weights
behind the wheel spokes (angle > 18°) so that they are no
longer visible (for alloy rims). Use this function in the ALU
or ST ATIC mode where the adhesive weight is applied to
the outer side of the rim.
▪ Perform an unbalance measurement spin.
▪ position the unbalance to be split in the correction
position in order to turn on the laser.
▪ press and hold the button until the laser points
to the spoke you wish to correct.
▪ release the button
▪ Turn the wheel in the rotation direction indicated by
the positioning arrows until the second spoke is in the
position indicated by the laser and press
▪ position the wheel as indicated by the LEDs. The un-
balance is indicated on the display

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, 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. Diagnostics
ENGLISH
7.1 INCONSISTENT UNBALANCE
READINGS
In some cases, when a wheel that has just been balanced
is repositioned on the balancer, the machine can detect
an unbalance.
This is not a machine problem but is due to faulty mounting
of the wheel on the flange. In other words, when mounting the wheel after initial balancing, it has taken another
position with respect to the balancer shaft axis.
If the wheel has been mounted on the flange with screws,
the screws may not have been tightened correctly (crisscross sequence) or the tolerances of the holes drilled in
the wheel may be too large. Small errors, up to 10 grams
(0.4 oz), are to be considered normal in wheels locked
with the relative 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 an unbalanced
brake drum or, very often, the tolerances of the holes
drilled in the rim and drum are too large. In this case,
balancing should be performed using a balancer with the
wheel mounted on the vehicle.
7.2 ALARM SIGNAL
The machine has a self-diagnostics cycle which identifies the most frequent malfunctions during the normal
work cycle.
These malfunctions are processed by the system and
shown on the display.

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.
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 staf f 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.
8.1.3 Replacing fuses
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.
8.1.2 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 Equip-
ment 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.
