1 PRESENTATION
1.0 Intended Use
This unit is designed to measure and correct static and dynamic unbalance of vehicle wheel, the dimension and weight
of which are within the working range of the machine (see “Technical Data”appendix for reference).
This unit is meant for a professional use. Operator shall be properly trained before use. Training Course is not included
in the price of the unit and must be purchased separately.
This unit is designed for indoor use only (see “Environmental Data”appendix for reference).
!CAUTION: This unit is designed to spin vehicle wheels only, within the range of dimensions and weight
approved (see “Technical Data”appendix for reference). Special adaptors suit this purpose. Do not
attempt to use the machine to spin anything else. Unproper locking may cause the part being

2.5 Air compressed
2.5.1 Connect the inlet air to a network of compressed air pressure of 8 -10 bar.
2.5.2 Check that the air supply tube passage has a useful diameter of 6 mm.
!CAUTION LIFTER: Regarding first use of the lift, as the pneumatic circuit probably empty, do not open the
valve control fully. Open the air passage slowly so as to avoid sudden movements of the platform.
Do not enter into the circuit hydraulic oil, brake fluid or other liquids, the circuit is designed
exclusively for the use of compressed air pressure of 8 Bar max

3.3 Use of the lifter
3.3.1 Commands
Lifting \ lowering is controlled by the lever (A) of the valve, located on the lift arm, represented in the figure that has three possible
positions:
1 - Lifting of the wheel
0- Stop (neutral position)
2 - Lowering of the wheel
Note: The lever is held, if issued by the position (1) or (2) automatically returns to the neutral position (0)
Near to the control lever (A) has a handle (B) that allows the operator to move the lift safely.
When the wheel is loaded into the "sliding wheel support", before making any move, the operator must be ensure the wheel in the
arm of the lift by the hook at the bottom of the chain of security (C) in order to avoid tipping from home.
3.3.2 How to use the lift
3.3.2.1 Place the wheel on the sliding wheel support manually.
3.3.2.2 Ensure the wheel firmly to the arm of the lift down by the safety chain
3.3.2.3 Move the control lever into position 1 and to hold it until the axis of rotation of the wheel is at the height of the axis of
rotation of the wheel balancer
3.3.2.4 Release the lever that automatically returnsin to position 0.
3.3.2.5 Hand operated lift arm by sliding on the rails so as to position the wheel near the balancer shaft.
3.3.2.6 If necessary, operate the lever further to correct the position of the wheel in relation to the shaft. Lever (A) in position
1for lifting, lever (A) in position 2for lowering
3.3.2.7 Lock the wheel on the shaft of the balancer.
3.3.2.8 Remove the safety chain from the wheel
3.3.2.9 Lower the sliding wheel support lift and carry it into the machine at rest, making sure that the wheel is free to rotate and
that no part of the lift to interfere with the rotational movement.
3.3.2.10 At the end of the cycle of balancing press the sliding wheel support of the lift to the wheel by operating the valve in
position 1.
3.3.2.11 Replace the safety chain ensuring the wheel on the arm of the lift.
3.3.2.12 Unlock the wheel from the shaft of the balancer.
3.3.2.13 Remove the lift with the wheel on the sliding wheel support from the balancer.
3.3.2.14 Operate the control lever in position 2. The wheel is lowered and can be downloaded manually from the sliding wheel
support by rolling off the ramp
3.3.2.15 The lifter is ready for a new cycle.

5 MEASUREMENT AND CORRECTION OF UMBALANCE
5.1 Placing the wheel on the wheel balancer
5.1.1 Select the cone or flange suitable for the wheel to be balanced.
NOTE:the operation of centering and tightening of the wheel on the flanges is of basic importance for correct
balancing. Good results depend on proper performance of these procedures.
Clean accurately all cones, shaft and adappter surface before placing the wheel on the wheel balancer.
!CAUTION: Always make sure flanges are correctly locked on the motor shaft and wheel is correctly locked on
the flange being used.
5.2 How to compensate umbalance of flanges using AFC function
NOTE:This operation allows to put compensate unbalance of flange and other accessories.
5.2.1 Lock the required flange on the shaft without the wheel.
HOW TO TURN ON AFC FUNCTION
The ZERO led blinks.
The ZERO led is on.
HOW TO TURN OFF AFC FUNCTION
Remove the flange.
The ZERO led switch off.

Lifter Service
1 By its nature, the lift must not be subjected to special attention for maintenance. However, to work better keep clean the
slide rails.
2 Periodically verify that the filter incoming mail to the condensate pneumatic circuit is not full of water, or empty.
- Before performing operations on the mechanisms of the lift with the sliding wheel support in the up position,
placebetweenthefloorandtheslidingwheelsupportitself a pieceof wood that ensuresstabilityinthisposition.
- Not operate on the pneumatic circuit before it was emptied by the internal pressure.
