2.1 PURPOSE
It is used to balance the wheels of cars, vans, 4-WD,
motorcycles and scooters. The wheels must weigh less
than 75 kg. It can be operated in the temperature range
of 0° to + 45°C.
The machine can operate only on fl at non resilient fl oor.
To lift the machine, lever only on the base where the 3
support points are located. never, under any circustance,
apply force to other points such as the spindle, head, or
accessory shelf. It functions properly without having to
fasten it to the floor with wheels weighing up to 35 kg; for
heavier wheels, fasten it at the points indicated. Do not
mount anything other than motorbike, car or truck tyres
on the wheel balancer.
Thanks to the new and exclusive VDD (Virtual Direct Drive)
system, reliable unbalance measurements can be made
in a short time, almost half the time of the cycle used with
respect to other balancers in this range.

The balancing data is set by means of an “intelligent” automatic gauge; confi rmation of the measurement and the
position appear on the display. The round part of the gauge
must rest on the rim where the weight will be positioned.
a

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, use the
button.
5.1.1 Modifying set dimensions
If the wheel dimensions have been entered incorrectly,
the parameters can be modified without repeating the
balancing spin by pressing for 2 seconds :
While the gauge is moving the following appears:
when the measurement has been stored:
a) standard weights: when only one measurement is
made, the machine interprets the presence of a rim with
clip-on weight correction
The correct measurement is that which can be measured

5.2 MEASUREMENT RESULT
Inside correction
ENGLISH
Outside correction
After performing a balancing spin, the amounts of unbalance are shown on the digital readouts. Digital readouts
with LED lit up indicate the correct angular wheel position
to mount the counterweights (12 o’clock position).
If the unbalance is less than the threshold selected,
displayed instead of the unbalance; with
sible to read the values below the threshold chosen.
INDICATION
In the case of wheels with a diameter less than or equal
to 13” and at temperature conditions near 0°, the wheel
balancer automatically inserts a special measuring cycle
composed of two successive measurements. The accuracy
of the unbalance values and the reliability of the wheel
balancer remain unchanged. This type of operation is reset
each time the wheel balancer is started.

5.5 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 STATIC mode where the adhesive weight is applied inside the rim.

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
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.

ENGLISH
8.1 GENERAL
CAUTION
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS, MAKE SURE
THE MACHINE HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS POWER
SUPPLY. ALWAYS USE THE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
INDICATED IN THE INSTALLATION MANUAL.
8.1.1 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.
WARNING
THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR CLEANING THE AREA WHERE THE
MACHINE IS INSTALLED MUST WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
IN ORDER TO WORK IN SAFETY AND ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT
OCCUPATIONAL HEATH AND SAFETY REGULATIONS.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
