Imbalance minimization | Start Line MT 601 D | 37 en
9. Imbalance minimization
If great wheel imbalance is measured (e.g. static im-
balance greater than 50g), it is advisable to perform
wheel matching by using the imbalance of the rim to
provide compensation for the static imbalance of the
tire (imbalance minimization). The first step involves
rotating the tire 180 degrees on the rim. Additional
minimization can then be achieved by rotating the tire
further. The matching program provides assistance with
this minimization process.
!Work as accurately as possible throughout the entire
procedure.
1. After measurement and running a balance cycle, if
the result is over 50g, press "OPT" button to call up
the function.
2. Rotate wheel to inner imbalance position, press
"OPT" button, then monitor displays "180".
3. Make double mark, on tire and rim (external side 12
o"clock position).
4. To achieve even greater precision, also make marks
on cone and shaft at 12 o"clock position.
5. Remove wheel.
6. Pull tire off rim using tire changing machine.
7. Mount tire again, but this time with mark on tire in
position 180 degrees directly opposite to the mark
on the rim.
8. Inflate tires and clamp back onto MT 601 D.
9. This time, marks on rim, cone and flange shaft
should all be at 12 o"clock position while mark on
tire should be at 6 o"clock position.
10.Switch on MT 601 D by pressing START button, or by
lowering the wheel-guard hood.
11.If MT 601 D stops rotating, turn wheel to position of
inner imbalance and only apply a mark to the rim.
Outer face at 12 o"clock position.
12.Rotate wheel to outer imbalance position, make an-
other new mark, this time only on the tire, outer side
at 12 o"clock position.
13.Remove wheel.
14.Pull tire off rim using tire changing machine.
15.Mount tire again but this time with new mark on tire
precisely aligned with new mark on rim.
"Minimization of imbalance is now finalized.
