Ⅰ.PREFACE

WARNING

There will be one year of warranty period on the

condition that the machine including the operation

system , tools and accessories are used properly

and/or without damage. During this period, the

manufacturer will repair or replace the parts returned or

the machine itself, sustaining the costs but not

accepting responsibility for normal wear and tear,

incorrect use or transportation, or failure to carry out

maintenance. The manufacturer will not inform the

customer about any improvements to the products or

the upgrading of the production line.

INTRODUCTION

SAFETY REGULATIONS

Failure to comply with the instructions and danger

Do not remove or deface the DANGER, CAUTION,

WARNING or INSTRUCTION decals. Replace any

missing or illegible decals. If any decals have become

detached or damaged, it is possible to obtain them from

your nearest reseller.

-Observe the unified industrial accident prevention

regulations relating to high voltages and rotating

machinery whenever the machine is in use or being

2

serviced.

- Any unauthorized changes or modifications made to

the machine automatically release the manufacturer

from any liability in the case of damage or accidents

resulting from such changes or modifications .

2 INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

Before installation and use of the wheel balancer, you

should carefully read this installation and operation

manual. And keep this manual in hand for reference at

any time. You should be sure that all the operators have

read this manual to guarantee the most perfect

functions of the machine and meanwhile the safety.

2.1PROTECTIVE HOOD INSTALLATION:

2.2MAIN SHAFT INSTALLATION

FIG 2

MAINSHAFT INSTALLATION：Before installation, use

the ethyl alcohol and compressed air to clean up the

center hole of the shaft and connect part. Use spanner

and screw to fix the thread shaft on the balance shaft

(Fig2)

2.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION & EARTHING

According to the label on the connect between

power cable and body, the power cable connect

socket must be grounded with the reliable earth wire.

All the electrical devices installation must be done by

the qualified staff. Before installation, please check

If the power system is comply with the technical

parameter marked on the nameplate of the machine.

The wiring of the machine must have the fuse and the

perfect ground protection. And install the electrical

Leakage automatic controls switch in the power source.

And recommend the application of the stabilizer

if the voltage of installation site is unstable.

Any electrical connect in the workshop is only done by

the qualified technical staffs and it should meet the

enforced regulation. .

Any electrical connect must be according to the

following:

• Power on the data plate on the machine;

• Voltage decrease can not exceed 4% of the rated

voltage on the data plate when full load (10% when

4

start)

-Operators must:

• Install the plug;

• install 30ma circuit breaker;

• install power cable fuse;

• provide with effective workshop electrical connect to

ground;

- prevent the authorized operation and pull out the plug

to prolong the working life when not use the machine.

- if the machine directly connected to the power source

through the power board not the plug, we should use

the qualified staffs to operate.

Perfect ground is necessary for the correct operation.

Do not connect the machine with air pipe, water pipe,
telephone line and the other unsuitable objects.

3．3 WORK PRINCIPLE

The micro CPU will provide the normal information if it

checks each unit in the normal situation. And the

operators can execute the balance operation. When

balancing, MCPU can control the rotation of the

balancer tester main shaft through the drive interface.

The unbalance signal sensed by balance sensor is sent

to the micro-processor port through A/D converter. CPU

will integrated analyze the unbalance signal and angle

signal to calculate the unbalance value and display the

value through the LED unit. We can realize the

man-machine talk through keyboard and LED.
