ENGLISH
4.1 FITTING THE WHEEL FIXTURE SHAFT
(SEE ATTACHED PROSPECTUS)
The balancing machine’s main advantage is its fi xed shaft
tool. This means that when the wheel is fi tted on the tool, it
is free to turn on its own bearings, exactly reproducing the
conditions of use when it is fi tted on the motor bike.
Balancing is not affected by inaccuracies in the wheelflange-shaft coupling typical of traditional rotating shaft
balancing machines. This means that you can achieve the
best possible accuracy. Use the AF12 or AF15 tools with
cones and axial blockage rings for wheels with traditional
fixture (through- journal).
Use the rotating AGF tool for wheels with outboard flanged
fixture (BMW, Honda).(See specfic brochure for correct
assembly).
Push the chosen tool well home into the balancing machine’s hollow shaft and block it in position by tightening
the screws accessible from the baseplate hole.
Use and maintenance manual Rev. 12-2010
NOTE ON AGF TOOL
Remove it from the balancer after use to avoid permanent
deformation of brush bristles.
4.2 FITTING THE WHEEL
The AF12 and AF15 fi xed shaft tools enable you to fi t wheels
with a maximum hole of 35 mm on their own bearings. Do not
overtighten the threaded ring, as this would put excessive axial
load on the bearings. When you fi t the wheel, you will notice
that the brush adapts automatically (radially) to the shape of
the wheel hub. During balancing operations, the brush will
turn together with the wheel and transmit the motion to the
balancing machine’s built-in position transducer. If you use the
special AGF tool, the rotating movement will be transmitted
to the brush by the rotating part of the tool.

6.2 WHEEL BALANCING
6.2.1 Measuring unbalance
Move the front lever to the right bring ▪ ing the pulley into
contact with the tyre and press the run button on the side
holding the lever pushed in order to spin the wheel. If
used without motor, spin the wheel by hand respecting
the correct direction of rotation (anticlockwise).
Release the lever and the START key when the ▪
displays go off, the machine will then start making
measurements.
When the displays show the measurement values, brake ▪
the wheel by re-establishing contact with the pulley,
which is braked when the motor is off. Instruments 1
and 2 will keep the dynamic unbalance values in their
memories. When balancing for static, the value is
shown on display 1.
LEDs on displays 3 and 4 will indicate the correction ▪
position. If all the LEDs are alight, this means that
the correction weight should be applied to the vertical
apex. In static mode, both displays indicate the same
position
(static unbalance).
For small diameter wheels (scooters), launch always the ▪
wheel by hand in anticlockwise direction (see arrow).
Measurement always begins when the displays go off.
6.2.2 Correcting the unbalance
STATIC: Apply two identical correction weights at the
highest point of the wheel, one on the inside
shoulder and the other on the outside shoul
der of the rim. Each weight is half the value
indicated by the display. If you make the
correction with lead wire, springs or clamps
applied to the spokes, divide it onto one, tow
or more spokes, according to the size of the
unbalance.
DYNAMIC: Apply the adhesive weights to the shoulders of
the wheel rim in the positions indicated by the
display for each of the sides.
Correction of inner side
Correction of outer side
position). In the event of unbalance less than the selected
threshold value 0 is displayed in place of the unbalance
value , with
it is possible to read the values below the
selected threshold gr. by gr.
INFORMATION
In rare cases and in temperature conditions near 0°, the
wheel balancer automatically activates a special measuring
cycle involving two successive measurements.
During the unbalance measurement, the word “START”
reappears to indicate to the user to bring the wheel back
up to speed. The accuracy of the unbalance values and
the reliability of the wheel balancer remain unchanged.

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.

8. Diagnostics
ENGLISH
8.1 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
(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.
Use and maintenance manual Rev. 12-2010
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.
8.2 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.

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.
9.1.3 Replacing fuses
Some protection fuses are located on the power board
(see wiring diagrams) accessible by dismantling the weight
