LS43B Laser-Spot™ Wheel Balancer 6 P/N 5900086 — Rev. A1 — 12/212018

Balancer accessories include:

• Quick-Release Hub Nut. Holds the Wheel on the Balancer, once the Wheel is mounted.

• Hex Key Wrench Set. Used during installation. Hex key wrenches are sometimes called Allen®
wrenches.

• Anchor Bolts. Anchor the Balancer to the floor at the desired location. Anchoring the Balancer is
optional, but strongly recommended.

• Wheel Weight Tool. Used to put on and take off Clip-On Weights.

• Weight Removal Tool. Used to remove Adhesive Weights.

• Mounting Spring. Secures the Wheel when using Rear- and Dual-Cone Mounting.

• Inner and Outer Gauge Calibration Tool. Used for calibrating the unit, when necessary.

• Mounting Cone assortment. Supports a wide range of Wheel sizes.

• Calipers. Used to measure the Width of a Wheel. Done automatically in most cases, so you may
not need to use the Calipers too often. Come in a box of their own.

• Spacer Ring. Attaches to the Shaft Flange for larger Wheels only.

All of the Balancer accessories are shown and identified in Parts (the Balancer accessories are shown
on one of the pages towards the end of the Parts section).

Other terms you need to understand include:

• Wheel. A circular metal piece that attaches to an axle and rotates. A Tire is an optional part of a
Wheel.

• Tire. A circular rubber piece that surrounds and attaches to a Wheel; more specifically, to the Rim,
which is the part of the Wheel that directly touches the Tire. Most Tires are pneumatically inflated
(filled with a gas, such as air, hydrogen, helium, or nitrogen) and made out of rubber (synthetic or
natural).

• Rim. The part of a Wheel that directly attaches to a Tire; almost always the outer portion of the
Wheel. Because modern Wheels are frequently created from a single piece of metal, “Wheel” and
“Rim” are sometimes used interchangeably.

• Hub. The part of a Wheel that is not the Rim; the central portion of the Wheel.

• Imbalance. An unbalanced weight distribution in a Wheel; it can cause uneven rotation (which
results in Wheel wobble, uneven Tire wear, and Vehicle vibration).

weight must be applied opposite the imbalance.

To correct an imbalance, a

• Planes. When a Wheel is figuratively divided down the middle into two sections, it creates two
planes; called Inner and Outer (see About Planes for more information). Balancing is more
effective when planes are analyzed for imbalance separately (and addressed separately), called

not

Dynamic Balancing. Inner and Outer planes are

the same as the three specific locations on the

Wheel where Weight can be added, named Inner Plane, Center Plane, and Outer Plane.

• Clip-On Weights. Metal weights that are held in place on the Wheel by clipping them to the

not

Inner or Outer Edge. Older Clip-On Weights made of lead should

be used as they are a hazard

to the environment; they are also illegal to use in many countries and some states in the U.S.

• Adhesive Weights. Weights that are flat and held in place on the Wheel with adhesive; they get
placed on the Inner, Outer, or Center Plane. Adhesive Weights come in both black and gray,
making them harder to see and thus not interfering with the attractiveness of the Vehicle’s
Wheels/Rims.

• Placement Indicators. Light up when the best weight location is reached.

• Balancing modes. The Balancer supports Dynamic Balancing, Static Balancing, Aluminum Alloy
Balancing, and Hidden Balancing Modes.

LS43B Laser-Spot™ Wheel Balancer 7 P/N 5900086 — Rev. A1 — 12/212018

• Dynamic Balancing. Balancing a steel Wheel where each of the two planes are analyzed
separately. If there is an imbalance, the two planes are brought back into balance separately.
Dynamic Balancing is a more recent technology than Static Balancing and generally produces a
better balance.

• Static Balancing. Balancing a Wheel as a whole; that is, on a single plane only. This is an older
method of balancing and is generally not as effective as Dynamic Balancing. Static Balancing is
required for motorcycle Wheels and older Wheels that are 4 inches wide or less; also used if only
Adhesive Weights can be attached on the Center Plane of the Wheel.

• Aluminum Alloy Balancing. Balancing Wheels made of aluminum alloy. The Weights are
placed differently on these Wheels, so you need to know where you want to put the Weights and
select the appropriate ALU Mode. ALU Modes generally use Adhesive Weights, which are less
visible than Clip-On Weights.

• HID (Hidden) Balancing. Balancing a Wheel where the Outer Plane Weights are placed behind
selected spokes so they are hidden, as much as possible.

• Optimize Function. When a Wheel has significant imbalance (30 grams / 1 ounce or more), you
can use the optional Optimize Function to lessen the imbalance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What does a Wheel Balancer do?

Answer: They correct imbalance of a Wheel. If you drive a Vehicle with imbalanced Wheels, the

Vehicle could experience noise, vibrations, wobbling, reduced or uneven Tire tread wear,
and some components could wear out sooner rather than later. Getting a Vehicle’s
Wheels balanced may even increase its mileage.

Q: Is Wheel Balancing the same as Wheel Alignment?

A: No. When you balance a Wheel, you fix a weight distribution problem that can cause Wheel

wobble, uneven Tire wear, and Vehicle vibration. This is done by putting Weights on the Wheel in
appropriate locations.

When you align a Wheel, you are adjusting the angles of the Wheels back to the manufacturer’s
recommendation, which reduces Tire wear and ensures the Vehicle drives straight and true (that
is, the Vehicle does not pull to one side).

Q: Where can I put my Wheel Balancer?

A: What you want is a flat Concrete floor with room around it that is also near where you work on

Wheels. Ideally, you want it somewhere off the beaten path, as you want to keep everyone away
from the Balancer while it is in use.

Q: Why are there two types of Weights?

A: Clip-On Weights are more visible. Adhesive Weights are lower profile and come in two colors so

you can try to color match with the Rim, so they are less visible. Some Vehicle owners with
expensive Tires prefer Adhesive Weights because they are less visible.

Q: Why isn’t there a plug on the end of the Power Cord?

A: 220 VAC plugs vary by region, so you need to use one that is appropriate for the power outlet

where you will be using your Wheel Balancer. You
plug to the power source in accordance with applicable electrical codes.

LS43B Laser-Spot™ Wheel Balancer 11 P/N 5900086 — Rev. A1 — 12/212018

Finding a Location

Keep in mind the following when deciding on a location:

• Power source. The Balancer needs to be near an appropriate 220 VAC power source.

• Floor. The Balancer is best used on a flat, concrete floor. If the floor is unstable or not flat, the
Balancer will not work correctly; the readings will not be right.

• Accessibility. You need some space to move the Wheels you are going to balance to and from
the Balancer.

• Danger. When a Wheel is spinning on the Balancer, you need to keep people away from it. Do
not set up the Balancer in a well-travelled area.

• No water. The Balancer has electronic components. If the Balancer gets wet while turned on,
those electronic components will most likely short circuit and have to be replaced.

⚠ WARNING Do not use the Balancer if it is sitting in water. You will almost certainly short circuit

the electronic components in the Balancer and you could electrocute yourself.

Clearances

For safety purposes and to allow space to work with Wheels, a certain amount of space around the
Balancer is needed.

You also need enough room

Unpacking

Use caution when unpacking the Balancer from its shipping container. You do not want to damage the
unit, misplace any of the components that come with it, or hurt anyone.

⚠ CAUTION Make sure to use an appropriate lifting device, such as a forklift or pallet jack, to

move the Balancer while it is on its pallet. Make sure only personnel who are
experienced with material handling procedures are allowed to move the Balancer.
The Balancer is heavy and the weight is not evenly distributed; dropping or
knocking over the unit may cause equipment damage or personal injury. Do not lift
the Balancer by the Shaft Housing; it is not strong enough for that.

We recommend you unpack the Balancer in the area where you are going to set it up.

Assembly in place while the second person screws in the Mounting Bolt. Also, consider
having some rags nearby; the Shaft comes greased to protect it.

To install the Shaft:

1. Locate the Shaft Assembly and the Mounting Bolt from the parts supplied with the Balancer.

2. Clean the Shaft Assembly by removing the shipping grease and any dirt that has accumulated.

3. Put the Shaft Assembly into place next to the Shaft Housing and hold it there.

Note: It is easier to install the Shaft with two people.

4. Put the Mounting Bolt into the end of the Threaded Shaft and begin tightening it.

5. Before fully tightening the Mounting Bolt, make sure the Alignment Marks are aligned (see drawing
below).

Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown.

6. Tighten the Mounting Bolt into place.

Anchoring the Balancer

The Balancer has three holes for Anchor Bolts, which hold the Balancer in place while you use it.

Important: You are

Balance can result in inaccurate readings.

To anchor the Balancer:

1. Move the Balancer to the desired location.

Remember that you need to allow some space around the Balancer. Refer to Finding a

Location for additional information.

2. Using the holes in the base as guides, drill the holes for the M10 x 59 mm Anchor Bolts.

Go in straight; do not let the drill wobble. Use a carbide bit (conforming to ANSI B212.15-1994).

4. Make sure the Washer and Nut are in place, then insert the Anchor Bolt into the hole.

The Expansion Sleeve of the Anchor Bolt may prevent the Anchor Bolt from passing through the
hole in the Base Plate; this is normal. Use a hammer or mallet to get the Expansion Sleeve through
the Base Plate and into the hole.

Even using a hammer or mallet, the Anchor Bolt should only go into the hole part of the way; this is
normal. If the Anchor Bolt goes all the way in with little or no resistance, the hole is too wide.

Viewing Information on the Display Panel

The Display Panel shows you information about the Wheel you are balancing.

Note: There are no buttons to push on the Display Panel; it only displays information.

The parts of the Display Panel include:

• Inner / Distance Window. During the Measurements phase—prior to spinning the Wheel—this
Window shows the distance from the edge of the Balancer to the inner edge of the Wheel
(measured by the Inner Arm). During the Weights phase—after spinning the Wheel—it shows the
weight to be added to the inner plane of the Wheel.

• Outer / Diameter Window. During the Measurements phase, this Window shows the Diameter
of the Wheel (measured by the Outer Arm). During the Weights phase, it shows the weight to be
added to the outer plane of the Wheel.

LS43B Laser-Spot™ Wheel Balancer 23 P/N 5900086 — Rev. A1 — 12/212018

• Width Window. During the Measurements phase, this Window shows the Width of the Wheel
(determined automatically from the measurements taken by the Inner and Outer Arms).

4

• Indicators next to the Wheel. When Weight needs to be added to a Wheel, you turn the
Wheel and watch the indicators on the appropriate side of the Wheel. When all of the indicators are
lit, the Wheel will lock automatically and the laser will show the exact spot to put Weight.

• Weight Location indicators. The appropriate weight location indicators turn on (red) to
indicate where the Balancer thinks you are going to put the weights to balance the Wheel, based
on Balancing Mode.

If the wrong weight indicators turn on, stop the balance and start again. If you put the weights on
the Wheel in a location other than what the Balancer expects, the Wheel will not balance correctly.

The following drawing shows available weight locations.

• Balancing Mode indicators. DYN, STA, ALU1, ALU2, ALUS, OPT, and HID. When a
Balancing Mode is selected, the appropriate indicator goes on.

Note: OPT is the Optimize Function, which is not a Balancing Mode. It is an optional

procedure to lessen the imbalance in a Wheel that is more than 30 grams / 1 ounce out
of balance.

LS43B Laser-Spot™ Wheel Balancer 24 P/N 5900086 — Rev. A1 — 12/212018

About Planes

If you were to split a Wheel down the center (as shown below), it would be split into two “Planes”, an
Inner plane and an Outer plane.

Balancing a Wheel on

both

planes at the same time is the most effective method. Of the five

Balancing Modes supported by the LS43B, four of them balance on two locations at the same time.

The fifth, Static (STA) Mode, is included for older, thin, automobile Wheels and motorcycle Wheels,
which are not big enough to be balanced on both planes at the same time.

LS43B Laser-Spot™ Wheel Balancer 25 P/N 5900086 — Rev. A1 — 12/212018

Because balancing a Wheel on both planes is so important for using the LS43B, the Display Panel
shows a two-plane view of the Wheel being balanced.

The Inner “Plane” is on the left (based on the main placement method for Wheels on the Balancer,
where the visible Rim on the outside) and the Outer “Plane” is on the right.

The INNER Window shows how much weight to place on either the Inner Edge or the Inner Plane
weight locations. Note that the Inner Plane weight location is not the same as the Inner “Plane”,
although it is on the Inner “Plane” side of the Display Panel.

The OUTER Window shows how much weight to place on either the Outer Edge or the Outer Plane
weight locations.

The Placement Indicators, six per Plane, all light up when the best weight location is reached.

LS43B Laser-Spot™ Wheel Balancer 26 P/N 5900086 — Rev. A1 — 12/212018

About Measurements

There are three measurements of a Wheel that are important to understand for correct balancing.

The LS43B finds these measurements automatically when you use the Inner Arm and the Outer Arm.

The three measurements are:

• Distance. The distance from the side of the Balancer to the Inner Edge of the Wheel.
Automatically measured by the Inner Arm.

• Diameter. The distance from Outer Edge to Outer Edge. Automatically measured by the Outer
Arm.

• Width. The distance from the Inner Edge of the Wheel to the Outer Edge. Determined
automatically from the Distance and Diameter values.

Inputting Measurement Data Manually

The LS43B determines measurement data automatically when you use the Inner Arm and the Outer
Arm, but you can enter measurement data manually if you like:

• Distance. Pull out the Inner Arm to the desired location, note the value on the Distance Ruler,
and enter that value using the Distance

• Diameter. Read the value from the tire sidewall or measure with the Calipers, then enter that
value using the Diameter

• Width. Measure with the Calipers, then enter that value using the Width
Control Panel.

The Control Panel is used to control aspects of the Balancer during both the Measurements phase
and the Weights phase.

• Distance, Width, Diameter + / — buttons. Used to change the Distance, Width, and
Diameter settings during the Measurements phase of the balancing session (before you spin the
Wheel). Only needed if you want to enter these values manually; otherwise, use the Inner Arm and
Outer Arm to have the LS43B determine these values automatically.

Mounting a Wheel

When you want to balance a Wheel, the first step is to mount it on the Shaft.

Important: All Wheels should be mounted so that the inside (the side of the Wheel that goes

closest to the Vehicle) goes on the Shaft first.

There are three ways to mount a Wheel onto the Shaft:

• Front-Cone Mounting. The preferred method, as it generally produces the most accurate
balancing results.

An appropriately sized Mounting Cone goes on after the Wheel, then the Quick Nut.

• Rear-Cone Mounting. Use this method if the Wheel you are balancing cannot be mounted with
Front-Cone Mounting.

The Spring goes on first, then an appropriately sized Cone, the Wheel, the Quick Nut Cap, and
finally the Quick Nut.

LS43B Laser-Spot™ Wheel Balancer 29 P/N 5900086 — Rev. A1 — 12/212018

• Dual-Cone Mounting. Generally used only for some aftermarket or OEM performance Wheels
that have a center hole that is deep enough to allow the use of two cones on the Shaft.

The Spring goes on first, then an appropriately sized Cone, the Wheel, a second appropriately
sized Cone, and finally the Quick Nut.

To mount a Wheel:

1. Make sure you are wearing ANSI-approved eye protection: safety glasses, face shield, or goggles.

2. Determine which mounting method you want to use.

3. Move the Wheel you are going to mount next to the Shaft.

4. Select the Mounting Cone that best fits the center hole of the Wheel.

5. If Rear-Cone or Dual-Cone Mounting, put the Spring and the desired Cone onto the Shaft.

6. Lift the Wheel and put it onto the Shaft, then slide it back towards the Shaft Flange.

You may need to lift the Wheel slightly when positioning a Cone in the center hole of the Wheel.

7. While holding the Wheel and other hardware in place, slide the Quick Nut over the Shaft while
holding the Quick-Release Levers next to the Wings.

Holding the Quick-Release Levers next to the Wings lets you quickly slide the Quick Nut into
position near the Wheel.

8. Release the Quick-Release Levers.

9. Turn the Wings to fully tighten the Quick Nut, and thus the Wheel, in place.

You may want to spin the Wheel some as you tighten the Quick Nut; this can help you get a
strong, secure fit.

Important: Do not hammer or hit the Quick Nut to tighten it. You will damage the Quick Nut, which

is not covered under the Warranty.

LS43B Laser-Spot™ Wheel Balancer 30 P/N 5900086 — Rev. A1 — 12/212018

Balancing Modes

Balancing Modes are based on the locations where the weight gets put on if the Wheel is out of
balance:

• Dynamic (DYN). The most common Balancing Mode; used with steel rims. If the Wheel is out of
balance, weights go on the Inner Edge and the Outer Edge.

• Static (STA). Used for older Wheels under 4 inches wide and motorcycle Wheels. If the Wheel is
out of balance, weight goes on the Center Plane only.

• Aluminum 1 (ALU1). Used on Aluminum Alloy Wheels when you want the weights to go on the
Inner Plane and the Outer Plane.

• Aluminum 2 (ALU2). Used on Aluminum Alloy Wheels when you want the weights to go on the
Inner Edge and the Center Plane.

• Aluminum Special (ALUS). Used on Aluminum Alloy Wheels where the weights need to go on
the Inner Plane and the Center Plane.

LS43B Laser-Spot™ Wheel Balancer 31 P/N 5900086 — Rev. A1 — 12/212018

OPT (Optimize) Function

Not a Balancing Mode. The Optimize Function is an optional procedure to lessen the imbalance in a
Wheel that is more than 30 grams / 1 ounce out of balance.

For more information, refer to Using the Optimize Function.

HID (Hidden)

Lets you apply Adhesive Weights on the Center Plane in multiple locations mounted behind spokes.

This prevents them from being seen, as much as possible.

Refer to Hidden Weight Balancing for specific instructions for using this Balancing Mode.

Before You Balance a Wheel

Before you balance a Wheel, you should:

• Remove all existing Weights from the Wheel. If the Wheel already has Weights on it,
either Clip-On or Adhesive, take them off. They will throw off the new balancing process.

• Thoroughly clean the Wheel. Mud or dirt on the Wheel will impact the new balancing
process. Also, if you end up putting on Adhesive Weights, they get placed onto a clean area (so
they are less likely to fall off).

• Put on appropriate eye protection. Do not use the unit unless you are wearing ANSI-
approved eye protection: safety glasses, a face shield, or protective goggles.

• Make sure the area is clear. Only the operator should be near (within 30 feet) of the Wheel
Balancer while the Wheel is turning.

LS43B Laser-Spot™ Wheel Balancer 32 P/N 5900086 — Rev. A1 — 12/212018

Dynamic Balancing

Dynamic Balancing balances a Wheel on both the Inner and Outer Edges.

If the Wheel is out of balance, the Clip-On Weight can go on the Inner Edge, the Outer Edge, or both.

To Balance a Wheel using Dynamic Mode:

1. Make sure you are wearing ANSI-approved eye protection: safety glasses, face shield, or goggles.

2. Visually inspect the Balancer to make sure everything is in place. The Hood should be

3. Make sure the Wheel you want to balance is both clean and free of any weights that may have
been put on previously, then mount it.

Aluminum Alloy Balancing

The following procedure describes the three Aluminum Alloy (ALU) Modes.

Important: ALU Modes are for balancing Wheels made of aluminum alloy. The weights can be

placed in various locations on these Wheels, so you need to know where you want to
put the weights and then select the appropriate ALU Mode.

Adhesive weights are generally used when you are using ALU Modes, as they are less visible than clip­on weights.

To balance a Wheel using an ALU Mode:

1. Make sure you are wearing ANSI-approved eye protection: safety glasses, face shield, or goggles.

2. Visually inspect the Balancer to make sure everything is in place. The Hood should be

3. Mount the Wheel you want to balance.

Refer to Mounting a Wheel for mounting instructions, if needed.

4. Turn the Balancer Off and then back On, to reset it.

5. On the Control Panel, press the ALU button until the desired ALU indicator is lit.

Pressing the ALU button cycles between DYN, ALU1, ALU2, and ALUS. When each is selected,
the appropriate weight locations light up above the Width Window.

6. The options for the three ALU Modes are slightly different:

• ALU1. Pull out the Inner Arm and put it on the Inner Plane, return the Inner Arm after you hear

the beep, then place the tip of the

• ALU2. Pull out the Inner Arm and put it on the Inner Edge, return the Inner Arm after you hear

Using the Optimize Function

The Optimize Function lets you help lessen the imbalance of a Wheel that is more than 1 ounce / 30
grams out of balance. You are not

required

Important: The Optimize Function does not bring a Wheel to fully balanced; instead, it lessens the

imbalance of a Wheel that is significantly out of balance. Depending on the state of the
Wheel, even if you correctly Optimize a Wheel, it may still be more than 1 ounce / 30
grams out of balance when you are done with the Optimize.

When you see Opt in the Width Window during a balance, it means the Wheel you are balancing is
more than 1 ounce / 30 grams out of balance on one or both planes.

To Optimize a Wheel:

1. When you see Opt in the Width Window during a balance, raise the Hood, then rotate the Wheel
until the indicators next to the Inner Window are all lit.

2. Press the OPT button on the Control Panel.

180 appears on the Outer Window and the OPT icon on the Display Panel goes on.

The Balancer is now in Optimize Mode.

Important: If you use the Balancer to balance a different Wheel or you turn the Balancer on and

off, the Balancer will be taken out of Optimize Mode.

to use the Optimize Function.

3. Mark the Cone, the Rim at the Cone, the Rim at the Tire, and the Tire itself.

Tip: You want a Mark that will come off when you are done with the process but not come off

during the process. Using tape generally works, using a pen or pencil usually does not. A
pen or pencil Mark on tape works the best.

4. Remove the Wheel from the Balancer, then use a Tire Changer to take the Tire off the Wheel,
rotate the Tire 180°, then put the Tire back on the Wheel.

Make sure not to cover or remove the Marks on the Wheel and Tire.

5. Put the Wheel back on the Balancer, making sure to align the marks on the Cone, the Rim at the
Cone, and the Rim at the Tire.

The Mark on the Tire itself will be 180° from the other Marks.

6. Lower the Hood or press the Start button.

7. When the Wheel stops, turn the Wheel until the Inner Placement Indicators are all lit and the Wheel
locks in position.

8. Put a Mark at Top Dead Center on the Wheel Rim.

9. Press Stop to release the Wheel, then turn the Wheel until the Outer Placement Indicators are all lit
and the Wheel locks in position.

10. Put a Mark at Top Dead Center on the part of the Tire next to the Wheel Rim.

11. Remove the Wheel from the Balancer, then use a Tire Changer to take the Tire off the Wheel,
rotate the Tire so the two Marks you just put on are aligned, then put the Tire back on the Wheel.

12. Put the Wheel back on the Balancer and restart the Balancing process that was interrupted by
using the Optimize Function.

Hidden Weight Balancing

Hidden Weight (HID) Mode hides Outer Plane Weight behind selected spokes on the Wheel so that
they cannot be seen (as much as possible).

Use ALU1 Mode for Hidden Weight Mode.

With Hidden Weight Mode, Weight on the Inner Plane is used normally, while Adhesive Weights on the
Outer Plane are split and mounted behind spokes.

Troubleshooting

Perform the following checks if you are experiencing balancing problems:

• Confirm the location and alignment of the alignment marks on the Shaft Assembly and Shaft
Housing (see Installing the Shaft for more information).

• Make sure the Balancer is anchored in place (see Anchoring the Balancer for more
information).

• Perform a Weight Location Verification Test (see Weight Location Verification Test for more
information).

Perform the calibration with a steel Wheel of the most commonly used size.

Note: It is a good practice to keep a known good Wheel of the most commonly used size to

use as a calibration / reference tire to assist in troubleshooting.

Make sure the calibration weight used is a 100 gram or 3.5 ounce weight and that is mounted
correctly during the calibration procedure.

Weight Location Verification Test

The Weight Location Verification Test ensures the Balancer is producing accurate readings.

Before performing the Weight Location Verification Test, ma

ke sure the Balancer is anchored down

and/or rigid to the floor and that the shaft and centering cones are clean and undamaged. Dirt or
damage can cause inaccurate readings.

Important: Pay close attention to this procedure. If not done correctly, the Balancer will not

produce accurate readings, leading to Wheels not being balanced correctly.

A steel, undamaged Wheel of a size you commonly balance is needed for this procedure.

To perform the Weight Location Verification Test:

1. Balance the Wheel to fully balanced; 00 displays in the Inner and Outer Windows.

2. Program the correct Distance, Width, and Diameter values into the Balancer using the Inner Arm
and the Outer Arm or entering them manually.

3. Press and hold the C and T buttons on the Control Panel until the Placement Indicators stop
flashing and CAL CAL appears.

4. Lower the Hood.

The Wheel spins briefly, then stops.

Add 100 appears (Add 3.5 if oz is selected).

5. Turn the Wheel by hand until the Inner Placement Indicators are all lit.

6. Add the 100-gram Calibration Weight (Clip-On) to the

Inner Edge

of the Wheel where the laser is

pointing (Top Dead Center or 12 o’clock).

7. Close the Hood.

The Wheel spins briefly, then stops.

Add 100 appears again.

8. Turn the Wheel by hand until the Outer Placement Indicators are all lit.

9. Remove the 100-gram Calibration Weight from the Inner Edge of the Wheel and add it to the

Outer Edge

where the laser is pointing (Top Dead Center or 12 o’clock).

10. Close the Hood.

The Wheel spins briefly, then stops.

End CAL appears.

11. Remove the 100-gram Calibration Weight from the Wheel.

The Weight Location Verification Test is complete.
