MB-240X Wheel Balancer 7P/N 5900262 — Rev. A1 — Jan. 2021
Other terms you need to understand include:
•Wheel.A circular metal piece that attaches to an axle and rotates.
•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, 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).
To correct an imbalance, a
weight must be applied opposite the imbalance.
•Planes.When a Wheel is figuratively divided down the middle into two sections, it creates two
planes; called Inner and Outer (see About Wheel Planes for more information). Balancing is
more effective when planes are analyzed for imbalance separately (and addressed separately),
called Dynamic Balancing. Inner and Outer planes are
not the same as the specific locations on
the Wheel where Weight can be added, identified as Inner Edge, Inner Plane, Center Plane, Outer
Plane and Outer Edge.
•Clip-On Weights.Metal weights that are held in place on the Wheel by clipping them to the
Inner or Outer Edge.
Older Clip-On Weights made of lead should not 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.
•Placement Indicators. Light up when the ideal weight location is reached.
•Balancing Modes.The Balancer supports Dynamic Balancing, Static Balancing, and Aluminum
Alloy Balancing Modes.
•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. 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. You will 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What does a Wheel Balancer do?
Answer: The Wheel Balancer detects Wheel imbalances and indicates where on the Wheel and
what value of counterweight is required to correct the Wheel imbalance. Wheel imbalance
creates vibration which creates excessive wear on the Tires and steering components.
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 Wheel in relation to the Vehicle and
the pavement. This 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: This MB-240X is designed to be mounted in three different configurations: stand-alone, wall
mount or Tire Changer mount. Ideally, you want the Balancer away from high traffic areas, as you
want to keep everyone away from the Balancer while it is in use. See Installing the Balancer for
more information.
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 attempt to match the color of the Rim, so they are less visible. Some Vehicle owners
prefer Adhesive Weights because they are less visible.
Q: Can the MB-240X use 220 VAC power?
A: The MB-240X is shipped ready for 110 VAC operation. The Balancer can be modified to operate
on 220 VAC. For 220 VAC operation, you
must use a licensed Electrician to wire the MB-
240X plug in accordance with applicable electrical codes. See Connecting to Power for more
information.

MB-240X Wheel Balancer 11 P/N 5900262 — Rev. A1 — Jan. 2021
Installation
This section describes how to install your Balancer.
Installation Safety Rules
Pay attention at all times during installation. Use appropriate tools and equipment. Stay
clear of moving parts. Keep hands and fingers away from pinch points.
Use caution when unpacking the Balancer from its shipping container and setting it up. The Balancer is
heavy and the weight is not evenly distributed; dropping or knocking over the unit may cause
equipment damage or personal injury.
⚠WARNING You must wear appropriate protective clothing at all times during setup: leather
gloves, non-skid steel-toed work boots, ANSI-approved eye protection, and an
industrial back belt.
Only allow experienced, trained technicians to install the Balancer. In particular, all electrical work
must be done by a licensed, certified Electrician.
⚠CAUTION Certain parts of installing the Balancer are difficult for just one person. Dannmar
strongly recommends having two or more persons work together to install the
Balancer.
If you have to use an extension cord, make sure its current rating is equal to or greater than that of the
equipment being used. Make sure the extension cord cannot be stepped on, run over, or pulled out.
Extension cords are a tripping hazard, so they must be secured.
Plan for Electrical Work
The Balancer comes from the factory wired for 110 VAC power. You may convert the Balancer for use
with 220 VAC power.
⚠WARNING All electrical work, such as attaching the Plug to the Power Cord for 220 VAC
operation,
must be completed by a licensed, certified Electrician in
accordance with all applicable electrical codes at your location.
Tools
You may need some or all of the following tools:
•Small level for the optional wall mount bracket
•Hex key wrench set (three hex keys come with the unit: 6, 8, and 12 mm in the Accessories box)
•SAE and Metric wrench sets
•Adjustable wrench
•Scissors, utility knife, or other cutting tool
•Hammer
•Hammer Drill and masonry bit for anchoring.

MB-240X Wheel Balancer 12 P/N 5900262 — Rev. A1 — Jan. 2021
Finding a Location
Keep in mind the following when deciding on a location:
•Power source. The Balancer needs to be near an appropriate 110 or 220 VAC power source.
•Floor. The Balancer is best used on a flat, concrete floor. If the floor is not level or is unstable, the
Balancer will not return accurate test results.
•Accessibility. You need some space to move the Wheels you are going to balance to and from
the Balancer. 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 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.
⚠WARNING When a Wheel is spinning on the Balancer, you need to keep people away from it.
Do not touch the Rotating Wheel or Tire with your hand or body. Do not wear loose
clothing that can be caught up in the Wheel. Serious injury may result.
Clearances
For safety and to allow enough space to work with Wheels, a certain amount of clearance around the
Balancer is required.
Not drawn to scale. Figure above shown with optional Mounting Stand

MB-240X Wheel Balancer 13 P/N 5900262 — Rev. A1 — Jan. 2021
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 or its housing; it will damage the Balancer.
We recommend you unpack the Balancer in the area where you are going to set it up.
To unpack the Balancer:
Remove the carton by flipping down the metal tabs at the bottom and pulling off the top.
Remove the shipping bolts that are holding the Balancer to the Pallet.
Remove the straps and plastic wrap that held the Balancer components during shipping.
Move the Balancer off the Pallet, then move it to the desired location.
⚠WARNING Do not lift the Balancer by the Shaft; it is not strong enough to bear the weight of
the Balancer.
⚠CAUTION Dannmar recommends having at least two people move the Balancer; it is heavy. If
it is dropped or falls, it could cause injuries and/or the Balancer could be damaged.
Installing the MB-240X on the Mounting Stand
An optional Mounting Stand is available for the MB-240X. The MB-240X Mounting Stand comes
complete with all attaching hardware required to install the Balancer.
Refer to Figure A on the following page.
To install the Balancer on the Mounting Stand:
Remove the Recessed Cross Screws (3) from the Mounting Stand (5) and open the Cover (4).
Install the cone holders on the back side of the Mounting Stand.
Place the Balancer (1) on top of the Stand (5) and use four M10 Screws (2) to fasten the Balancer
to the Mounting Stand.
Replace the Cover (4) and tighten the fasteners (3).
Move the Balancer to the desired location and match drill the holes for the Mounting Anchors.
Vacuum and brush the debris from the holes, then install the Anchors. Refer to Anchoring the
Balancer for additional information.
Tighten the Anchors to prevent the Balancer from moving. The mounting must be rigid to prevent
the Balancer from moving during the balancing operation. Inaccurate test results can be caused by
a Balancer that moves during test.

Anchoring the Optional Balancer Mounting Stand
The optional Balancer Mounting Stand has three placement points for Anchor Bolts, which hold the
Balancer in place while in use.
Top View. Not to scale. Not all components shown.
Important: You are
required to bolt your Balancer into place, as Balancer movement during a
Wheel Balance can result in inaccurate test results.
To anchor the Balancer:
Move the Balancer to the desired location. Flat concrete provides the best mounting surface.
Remember that you need to allow some space around the Balancer. Refer to Finding a
Location for additional information.
Using the holes in the Mounting Stand 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).
The diameter of the drill bit must be the same as the diameter of the Anchor Bolt. So if you are
using an M10 diameter Anchor Bolt, for example, use an M10 diameter drill bit.

MB-240X Wheel Balancer 16 P/N 5900262 — Rev. A1 — Jan. 2021
Vacuum each hole clean.
Dannmar recommends using a vacuum to get the hole very clean.
Do
not ream the hole. Do not make the hole any wider than the drill bit made it.
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.
Once past the hole in the Base Plate, the Anchor Bolt eventually stops going down into the hole as
the Expansion Sleeve contacts the sides of the hole; this is normal.
Hammer or mallet the Anchor Bolt the rest of the way down into the hole. Stop when the Washer is
snug against the Base Plate.
Wrench each Nut clockwise to the recommended torque of 55 lbf-ft./ 75 N-m. Wrenching the
Nut forces the Wedge up, forcing out the Expansion Sleeve and pressing it tightly against the
Concrete.
Important: Do not use an impact wrench to torque the Anchor Bolts.
Installing the MB-240X on the Tire Changer
The MB-240X is shipped with a Weldment Base Assembly for installation on the Dannmar DT-50
Series Tire Changer. The Base Assembly is a bolt-on addition to the DT-50 Tire Changer allowing the
Tire changing and balancing all in one location, saving space and time wasted in transporting the Tire
from changing to balancing stations.
Refer to Figure B on the following page.
To install the MB-240X on the Tire Changer:
Install the Base Assy. Weldment (2) on the Tire Changer using the Hex Screws, and Lock Washer
provided (6)(5).
Secure the Balancer (1) on to the Weldment (2) using the M10 Screws (7) included.
Attach the tooling holder mounting plate (4) and cone hangers on the Weldment (2) using the
Screws provided.

Installing the MB-240X Balancer on the Wall Bracket
The MB-240X Wall Brackets are an optional mounting configuration. This configuration allows the
Balancer to be mounted on a wall, consuming a minimum of floor space.
To install the MB-240X on the Wall Bracket:
Refer to Figure C on the following page.
The location should be away from pedestrian traffic.
The location must be no less than 22 in. / 560 mm off the ground and allow for easy
movement of Wheels and Tires around the Balancer without causing a hazard to personnel.
⚠DANGER Consult a qualified, licensed contractor to wall mount the MB-240X. Only wall
mount the MB-240X on a core-filled masonry block, or a reinforced concrete wall.
The wall must be capable of supporting the weight of the MB-240X, the Wheel and
the Tire. This combined weight can exceed 225 lbs. / 102 kg. Anchors in drywall
will not support this Balancer and Wheel. Serious injury can result from the Balancer
tearing away from a drywall mount.
Tip The Wall and mounting must be rigid enough to prevent the Balancer from moving during
balancing. Inaccurate readings can result from a Balancer that moves during test.
Assemble the Wall Brackets (2)(3)(4)(5)(6).
Dannmar strongly recommends having a second person help install the Balancer on the wall
mount bracket.
Locate the Bracket on a wall rated to accept >225 lbs. / 102 kg.
Have a second person hold the assembled wall mount brackets against the wall and use a level to
adjust and verify the brackets are level. Mark the anchor hole locations on the wall.
Remove the brackets and drill four holes on the marks. If this is a reinforced concrete or core-filled
block wall, use an appropriate masonry drill bit. Use a 10 mm drill for a 10 mm anchor. Refer to
Anchoring the Balancer for additional information.
Clean the debris from the drill hole using a vacuum and brush.
Install the Anchors (12) in the Wall Mount Brackets with Washers and Nuts (7)(8).
Place the Anchors with the bracket on the wall and hammer or mallet the Anchors in to the drilled
holes.
Tighten the Nuts finger tight.
Using a small level to verify the brackets are level, you may lightly tap the bracket to correct any out
of level condition. You may have to loosen the Nuts slightly. Once the bracket is straight and level
re-tighten the Nuts on the Anchors.
Important Dannmar strongly recommends having a second person help install the Balancer on
the bracket.
Attach the Balancer (1) on the wall mounting brackets using M10 Screws (11).
Attach the Cone Tooling Bracket (9) on the front right side of the assembly, using the Screws
supplied.

Installing the Shaft
The Shaft holds the Wheels to be balanced.
Tip Consider having two people on hand to install the Shaft: one person to hold the Shaft
Assembly in place while the second person Screws in the Mounting Bolt. Also, consider
having some rags nearby as the Shaft is greased to protect it.
