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 modifi ed in any way except for those modifi cations made
explicitly by
- 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 fl ange.
- The machine operator must not wear clothes with fl 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.
- Before disassembling the weight shelf, remove the guard (see specifi c instructions)
1.1.1 - Standard safety devices
- Stop push button for stopping the wheel under emergency conditions.
- The wheel guard is not compulsory since the balancing speed is less than 100 min
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: ALUS; 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 fl at non resilient fl oor.
Make sure that the machine rests solely on the three support points provided (Fig.2a).
It is advisable to secure the system to the ground using the specifi c feet (Fig. 2a). if the machine is
continually used with wheels weighing over 35 kg.
3.2 - Electrical connection
The machine is supplied with a single-phase mains cable plus earth (ground).
The power supply voltage (and mains frequency) is indicated on the machine identifi cation plate and cannot be
changed. Connection to the mains must always be made by expert personnel.
The machine must not be set up without proper earthing.
Connection to the mains should be through a slow acting safety switch rated at 3 A (230V) or 8 A(115 V).

3.3 - Adapter mounting
4 - Controls and components
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.
The wheel balancer is supplied complete with cone
adapters for fixing wheels with a central hole. Other
optional adapters can be mounted:
a) Remove the threaded end-piece A after unscrewing
the screw B.
b) Mount the new flange (see attached sheets).
Note: CAREFULLY CLEAN THE COUPLING
SURFACES BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
OPERATION.
3.4 - Wheel guard assembly and adjustment (optional)
a) Fasten the components to the base as illustrated in specific exploded view.
b) With the guard closed check that the microswitch prod has slipped into place on the ring.
c) Appropriately adjust the angular position of the control ring.
N.B.: Do not lean on the guard during the wheel balancing cycle.
3.5 - WD spacer (option)
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, fit the WD spacer on the flange 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.
