▶Upon arrival at an installa-
tion place, move this package
to an installation location using
a forklift or truck.
▶Unpack and check the com-
ponents in the package. If any
missing component is found,
immediately contact your deal-
er or the company.
Installation
▶LOCATION
The wheel balancer must be
located on a solid floor in
concrete or similar material.
An underlying cavity could
cause imprecise imbalance
readings.
▶SAFE DISTANCE:
For the safe and ergonomic
use of the machine it is advis-
able to locate it a minimum of
300 mm from the surrounding
walls.
▶FIXING INSTRUCTIONS:
The machine base has 3 holes
for fixing to the floor with an-
chor bolt. This is essential to
ensure accurate and consist-
ent readings.
Check that the supply voltage
is the same as that indicated
on the machine identification
plate(220V±10％, 50/60㎐)
▶Connect the electrical power
plug to an outlet that con-
forms with European stand-
ards or the standards of the
country in which the machine
is used.
The plug must have a ground/
earth connection.

Installation
▶Check the effectiveness of the
ground/earth connection.
▶The machine must be connected to
the supply through a multi-pole cut-off
switch in conformity with European
standards and with contact opening
gap of at least 3 mm.
▶When connected and switched on,
mounted wheels must rotate in a
clockwise direction as seen from the
right-hand side of the machine. The
correct direction of rotation is indi-
cated with an arrow on the machine
body.
▶If the machine functions abnormally
immediately switch off the main
switch and check the troubleshooting
section of the Instructions
Manual.
Installation
This product is limited to in-
door use only. Therefore, do
not install it at a place ex-
posed to rain, snow or dust.
In case it should be inevitably
installed at an improper place,
it is necessary to manage
this product thoroughly at all
times for performance main-
tenance. To store this prod-
uct for a long time, turn it off
first and cover it with packing
material.

Modes according to Wheel Types
From the measurement screen, press button ALU to
select the type required. The 5-LED displays show the
position where to apply the weights. If a spin has al-
ready been performed, the processor automatically re-
calculates, for each change of mode, the amounts os
unbalance according to the new calculation.

3.1 Automatic rim Distance (offset) and Diameter -
Move the automatic gauge arm to the inside edge of
the rim, touch the pointer to the rim edge, touch the
tip of the width arm to the outside rim edge where
weights will be placed as illustrated in left Figure.
Press the pedal. Then the beeper will sound when the
parameter values are calculated and entered auto-
matically. Return the arms to its home rest position
on the balancer. Do not allow the measurement arms
to “dangle”.
3.2 Manual Parameter Entry-In the event of auto-
matic gauge failure, ANY parameter value can be in-
put manually.
3.2.1 Manual Distance Entry - Move the distance
gauge arm to touch the inner edge of the wheel where
weights are to be placed and observe the reading on
the scale of the distance gauge. Press manual Wheel
Parameter button followed by pressing the + or -
button(L) until value is displayed in the left display
window.
3.2.2 Measure Rim Width Manually using rim width
calipers. Measure wheel where corrective clip-on
weight would be applied. Enter the measured width
by pressing the Parameter button followed by the +
or - button(W) until the desired value appears in the
right display.
3.2.3 Manual Rim Diameter Entry-Read the rim di-
ameter marked on the sidewall of the tire <picture A>.
Enter the measured rim diameter by pressing the Pa-
rameter button followed by the + or - button(D) until
the desired value appears in the right display.
NOTE: For a more precise balancing of performance
wheels, an “ALU-S” Mode is available for
precision determination of wheel parameters. This
feature allows exacting placement of corrective
weights as well. See Page for detailed instructions.
NOTE: The parameter arms must be in the Home
rest position when the balancer is powered up.
This establishes the arm starting position.

DYNAMIC ▶CORRECTION OF THE UNBALANCE
5
Spin the wheel by lowering the wheel
guard or by pressing the Start but-
ton. When the balancing cycle is
completed the wheel will stop auto-
matically and the unbalance values
will appear on the monitor.
Closing Wheel guard
6
Read the unbalance value on the
outer display. Values are displayed in
grams but can be displayed in ounc-
es if required and are automatically
rounded to the nearest commercial
wheel weight.
Unbalance values
7
Raise the wheel guard and turn the
wheel until the displays of the outer
plane unbalance position arrow is il-
luminated red in the screen. A tone
will sound indicating top dead cent-
er. Apply the wheel weight at twelve
o’clock position. Use the foot op-
erated shaft lock to prevent shaft
rotation while placing weights.
Correcting OUTER values.
Before spinning the wheel make
sure proper eye protection is worn
by all personnel in the vicinity of
the balancer.
Application
Application

8
Correct the inner plane in the same
manner.
Correcting INNER values
9
Lower the wheel guard to spin the wheel
again and check that the readout is
“00” “00”(OK message will appear
in the screen). If a residual imbalance is
displayed:
A. Check the rim parameters, if entered
value is incorrect, correct as needed.
Imbalance values will be recomputed
after re-spinning wheel.
B. Check if the balancing mode selected
is the most appropriate. If not, choose
the right mode and re-spin.
C. The wheel weight could have been
placed at a wrong position. To check
this, position the wheel at the correction
position for the outer plane.
If the wheel weight previously attached
is in sector ‘L’ or ‘R’ <Picture B>,
move the wheel weight up about 1”
(2.54cm).
If the wheel weight is in sector ‘D’
cut a piece of the wheel weight of an
approximate value corresponding to
the value shown on the right display, or
replace the wheel weight with a lighter
one. If the wheel weight is in sector
‘U’ add a weight of value indicated by
the display or replace the wheel weight
with a heavier one. Repeat the same
operation for the inner plane.
NOTE: If this situation is repeated, your
machine may be out of calibration and a
calibration operation might be required
as instructed on page __ .
D. If an ALU function was selected
ensure that the wheel weights have been
placed in accordance to the program
chosen.
E. Check that the quick nut is tight and
that the wheel is not slipping against the
backing collar.
F. Check that the wheel and adaptors
are clean.
Verification of the results
Application
Application
If vibration is still present after balancing,
check the following possible sources of
vibration:
1. Stones caught in the tire tread.
2. Tire slippage on the wheel.
3. Incorrectly mounted wheel.
4. Imbalanced wheel covers.
5. Excessive radial or lateral runout in the
tire or wheel.
6. Damaged wheel bolt holes.
7. Worn universal joints.
8. Imbalanced brake rotors or drums.
9. Worn or damaged balancer ccessories.

Switch on the machine with the
main power.
Follow the procedures below
2
Press the ALU button three times to
activate the Special ALU mode(ALU
2 mode), the display will read “ALU
L - 2” when activated.
Mode change - ALU2
This is a mode similar to ALU mode 2. The difference
is that the distance and width parameters are accurately
defined for a more exacting weight placement,
3
Extend the automatic gauge arm
and touch the position of the left
weight position, then press the
brake pedal.
The high tone will sound when
dimension is entered. Return the
gauge arm to the rest position.
The width arm is not used in this
procedure.
