4.6 CORRECTION OF THE IMBALANCE
The following weight types and application methods

are available:
Clip-on weights: Always apply by hand
Stick-on weights: Can be applied by hand or us-
ing the gauge head for the Alu 2P, Alu 3P or easy
weight mode.
Hand applied weights MUST be applied exactly perpen-

dicular to the shaft (12 oclock position). After Spinning
A the wheel look at the rotation indicators for the left plane
of the wheel, Figure 26-A. As the correct Wheel Angle
B Position (WAP) gets closer more indicators light up.
When all the indicators are ON, the WAP indicator will
also light up, Figure 26-B. Follow same procedure for
placing weight in the right plane.
Note: When the correct angle is reached, all the rota-

Figure 26 tion indicators should be ON. If the wheel has been
pushed too far, only the indicators of the other half will
come ON. If this happens, the wheel must be slowly
turned in the opposite direction until the WAP position
is reached. The weight amount to be applied in that
plane is shown on the display.
Attaching a clip-on weight.

Refer to Figure 27a. Clip-on weights must always be
applied in the 12 oclock position. The lip should rest
on the rim edge. Use the weight pliers to position it. In
STATIC mode only the left hand display is used.

ALU or STATIC weight modes only: Refer to Figure 27b.
Apply the weight on the rim in the 12 oclock position,
always by hand.
Note: With STATIC weight modes, always apply the

weight at the rim center line. If not possible, split the

for the placement to register, the placement LED will
flash during this time. See figure 28b-D. Extend the
gauge arm to the outer position and wait for the signal
to return the arm to home. Lower the hood to spin the
assembly.

While moving the arm, a beep indicates when the cor-
rect application position has been reached. The weight
amount will then be displayed and flash and the WAP
indicator will lite up (Figure 28b-B). Press the foot pedal
to hold the wheel in this position. Apply the weight to
the correct point on the rim.

amount displayed and remove the protective tape from
the adhesive strip.
Split Weight Mode or sometimes called Spoke Mode

can be invoked if desired. See chapter 6.0.
NOTE: Either left or right plane can be corrected first.
Rotate the wheel to the next position, put the stick-on

weight on the gauge arm and apply the weight for the
remaining position. After applying the balance weights
perform a Check Spin.
It is good practice to perform a check spin after applying

the weights. Spin the wheel. Having finished the Run,
if the wheel is balanced correctly, both the numerical
indicators should indicate 000. To check how much
imbalance is left: Select the FINE key. The operator
should decide if applying additional weight is required.
Results recalculation. After Spinning a wheel it is possi-

ble to enter new rim data or select another weight mode.
The results are recalculated automatically. Selecting
another weight mode such as between NORMAL, ALU
and STATIC no additional steps required either.

6.0 SPOKE BALANCING MODE
When spoke wheels are balanced, the behindthe

spokes placement mode (also called split weight
mode) allows balance weights which would have to be
fitted between two spokes according to the measured
unbalance (hence would be visible from outside) to
be placed in hidden position behind two spokes adja-
cent to the unbalance location. After a measuring run
the electronic unit calculates the behindthespokes
placement automatically and reads the relative balance
weight locations on the screen. The operating steps for
the behindthespokes placement mode are described
and illustrated below figure 29b

9.0 OPTIMIZATION/WEIGHT MINIMIZATION.

Balancing optimization program cycle
The following is a description of the balancing
optimization program cycle (code OP) and weight
minimization (code UN).
1
Balancing optimization
Figure 5-32
If after the measuring run the imbalance in the left or
right correction plane and/or the static imbalance is
2 more than 30 grams, perform automatic optimization
by activating the FINE+ENTER key (3+1).
Before optimization check that the rim dimensions
have been set correctly.
You cannot correct the data later.
Demount the tire and clamp only the rim for the
3 compensation run.
Press the ENTER key (1).
The OP.1 reading appears (Fig. 5-33).
In all figures in which the valve symbol appears on the
edge of the rim, shift the tire on the rim then press
the ENTER key (1) to set the valve position (exactly
4 perpendicular to and above the main shaft).
Readjust the rim so that the valve is exactly
perpendicular to and above the main shaft.
Press the ENTER key (1) to acquire the valve
position.
The OP.2 reading appears.
An incorrect valve position entry can be corrected
afterwards.
5
Weight minimization
If no optimization, but only weight minimization (i.e.
without compensation run for the rim without tire),
5-32 proceed as follows:
Clamp the complete wheel (rim and tire).
Press FINE (3) + ENTER key (1) if minimization is
started separately from optimization.
The OP.1 reading appears.
Press the FINE key (3) to activate the weight
minimization program.
5-33 The Un.3 reading appears;
Run the minimization program.
With program OP.2 the rim compensation run can
still be omitted. Go to the next step in the program
by pressing the FINE key (3).
The UN.4 reading appears.
Continue the minimization program.
The valve position entered with OP.1 is automatically
used.
Page 26

sufficient amount of tire lubricant on the tire beads and
the rim edges and shoulders. Each time the position
5 of the tire is changed on the rim, inflate the tire to
overpressure (approx. 3.5 bar) then deflate to correct
tire pressure.

5-32 OP.4 appears (Fig. 5-34).
Spin the wheel (START).
The measuring run is carried out. After the measuring

run two readings are possible:
5-34
OP.5 - H1
Further optimization is not recommended, but possible.
OP.5 I (1 Reference mark Fig. 5-35)

Continue with the OP program.
5-35
Reading OP.5 - H1
If OP.5 - H1 appears, further optimization is not
recommended, since the measurement values which
activated the optimization recommendation are below
the limit value. However, it is possible to continue
optimization for the most silent possible wheel running,
reducing imbalances below the limit value (critical
vehicle).
To continue optimization
To continue with the OP program proceed as
5-36
specified for OP.5 I (given below).
To abort optimization
Press the STOP key to return to the balancing
program and balance the wheel according to the
readings ( 5.9).
