Important Safety Instructions
Owner’s Responsibility
To maintain machine and user safety, the responsibility
of the owner is to read and follow these instructions:
• Follow all installation instructions.
• Make sure installation conforms to all applicable
Local, State, and Federal Codes, Rules, and Regula-
tions; such as State and Federal OSHA Regulations
and Electrical Codes.
• Carefully check the unit for correct initial function.
• Read and follow the safety instructions. Keep them
readily available for machine operators.
• Make certain all operators are properly trained,
know how to safely and correctly operate the unit,
and are properly supervised.
• Allow unit operation only with all parts in place and
operating safely.
• Carefully inspect the unit on a regular basis and
perform all maintenance as required.
• Service and maintain the unit only with authorized
or approved replacement parts.
• Keep all instructions permanently with the unit
and all decals/labels/notices on the unit clean and
visible.
• Do not override safety features.
Operator Protective Equipment
Personal protective equipment helps make tire ser-
vicing safer. However, equipment does not take the
place of safe operating practices. Always wear durable
work clothing during tire service activity. Loose fitting
clothing should be avoided. Tight fitting leather gloves
are recommended to protect operator’s hands when
handling worn tires and wheels. Sturdy leather work
shoes with steel toes and oil resistant soles should be
used by tire service personnel to help prevent injury
in typical shop activities. Eye protection is essential
during tire service activity. Safety glasses with side
shields, goggles, or face shields are acceptable. Back
belts provide support during lifting activities and are also
helpful in providing operator protection. Consideration
should also be given to the use of hearing protection if
tire service activity is performed in an enclosed area, or
if noise levels are high.

Operating the Balancer
Mounting Wheel on Balancer Shaft
CAUTION
Avoid back injury, seek assistance when
lifting heavy tire/rim assemblies onto the
balancer shaft.
CAUTION
Failure to tighten the hub nut properly may
result in the wheel dismounting, causing
personal injury and property damage.
Select the most appropriate mounting method for
the wheel you are balancing. Using the proper method
ensures secure mounting and safe balancer operation,
and prevents damage to the wheel.
On most wheels, the inner side of the wheel hub
usually has the most uniform surface for wheel bal-
ancing. Always center the wheel by the most uniform
shaped side of the hub to achieve the most accurate
balance.
Regardless of mounting type, always make sure that
the wheel is forced firmly against the shaft faceplate
and that the hub nut engages the threaded shaft for
at least four complete turns. To assist in centering the
wheel properly, rotate the wheel and the shaft while
tightening the hub nut.
Standard Back Cone/Collet Mounting
Most original equipment and steel wheels can be
mounted properly using this method. The wheel is
cen-tered on a cone from the inner side of the hub.
1. Select the cone/collet that best fits the center
hole in the wheel. Slide the cone/collet onto the shaft
with the large end towards the cone spring.
2. Lift wheel onto the shaft and center it on the
cone/collet.
3. Attach the pressure cup to the hub nut. Install
the Hub nut assembly onto the shaft and tighten it
securely against the wheel. The wheel must be forced
firmly against the faceplate. The hub nut must engage
the threads for at least four full turns.
Note: Use a nylon spacer (protective ring) to protect
custom wheel finishes.
Note: If the hub nut will not tighten completely, use
the front cone mounting method.
tandard Back Cone/Collet Mounting

Important: Always read and follow instructions. • 5
Optional Front Cone/Collet Mounting
A wheel should be centered by the outer side of the
hub only when the inner surface will not provide an
accurate surface to center on.
1. Select the cone that best fits the center hole in
the wheel.
2. Lift the wheel onto the shaft and slide it back
against the shaft faceplate.
3. Slide the cone onto the shaft and into the center
of the wheel. You will need to lift the tire to seat the
cone in the center hole.
4. Install the hub nut (without pressure cup) onto the
shaft. Tighten it securely against the cone. The hub nut
must engage the threads for at least four full turns.
Note: If the hub nut will not tighten completely
because of a lack of threads, use an additional cone
as a spacer between the mounting cone and the hub
nut. The wheel must be forced firmly against the
faceplate.
Note: Do not front cone chrome or clad wheels.
Front Cone/Collet Mounting
Alternate Mounting
If the wheel has a protruding outer hub which will
not permit the use of the pressure cup, or the cup will
not permit the hub nut to engage at least four turns of
the shaft, this alternate method should be used.
1. Place the cone spring onto the balancer shaft
with the large end towards the faceplate.
2. Select the cone/collet that best fits the center
hole in the wheel. Slide the cone/collet onto the shaft
with the large end towards the faceplate.
3. Lift wheel onto the shaft and center it on the
cone/collet.
4. Use the small nylon spacer (no-mar ring) or a cen-
tering cone/collet to press against the outer wheel
hub.
5. Install the hub nut (without the pressure cup)
onto the shaft. Tighten securely.

Automatic Minimization of Static Unbalance
This program is designed to improve the quality of balancing without any mental effort
or loss of time by the operator. In fact by using the normal commercially available
weights, with pitch of 5 in every 0.17 oz (5 g), and by applying the two counterweights
which a conventional wheel balancer rounds to the nearest value, there could be a
residual static unbalance of up to 0.14 oz (4 g). The damage of such approximation
is emphasized by the fact that static unbalance is cause of most of disturbances on
the vehicle. This new function, resident in the machine, automatically indicates the
optimum entity of the weights to be applied by approximating them in an “intelligent”
way according to their position in order to minimize residual static unbalance.

Unbalance Optimization
The program allows total wheel out-of-balance to be
reduced by compensating, when possible, tire and rim
out-of-balance values. It requires two runs, rotating
