INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this manual is to provide the owner and operator with effective and safe
instructions for the use and maintenance of the wheel balancer.
Follow all of the instructions carefully and your machine will assist you in your work and
give long-lasting and efficient service, in keeping with manufacturer traditions.
The following paragraphs define the levels of danger regarding the machine, associated
with the warning captions found in this manual.
DANGER
Refers to immediate danger with the risk of serious injury or death.
CAUTION
Dangers or unsafe procedures that can cause serious injury or death.
WARNING
Dangers or unsafe procedures that can cause minor injuries or damage to property.
Read these instructions carefully before starting the machine. Keep this manual and all
illustrative material supplied with the machine in a folder near it where it is readily ac-
cessible for consultation by the operators.
The technical documentation supplied is considered an integral part of the machine; in
the event of sale all relative documentation must remain with the machine.
The manual is only to be considered valid for the machine model and serial number
indicated on the data plate.
CAUTION
Adhere to the contents of this manual: the producer declines all liability in the case
of actions not specifically described and authorised in this manual.
NOTE
Someof theillustrationscontainedinthismanualwere derivedfrom photosofprototypes:
the standard production machines may differ in some details.
These instructions are for the attention of personnel with basic mechanical skills. We have
therefore condensed the descriptions of each operation by omitting detailed instructions
regarding, for example, how to loosen or tighten the fixing devices on the machine. Do not
attempt to perform operations unless properly qualified and with suitable experience.
If in need of assistance, call an authorised assistance centre.

ELECTRICAL HOOK-UP
On request, the wheel balancer can be set up by the manufacturer to operate with the
power supply available in the place of installation. The set-up data for each machine are
given on the machine data plate and on a special label attached to the power supply
connection cable.
CAUTION
Any operations for hooking up to the workshop electrical board must be carried out
only by qualified technicians in compliance with the regulations in force, under the
responsibility and at the charge of the customer.
- The electric hook-up must be performed according to:
• absorbedpowerspecicationsindicatedonthemachinedataplate.

- prevent unauthorised use of the machine, always disconnect the power supply plug
when the machine is not used (switched off) for extended periods of time.
- If the machine is connected directly to the power supply by means of the main electrical
board and without the use of a plug, install a key-operated switch or suitable lock-out
device to restrict machine use exclusively to qualified personnel.
CAUTION
For the machine correct functioning it is vital to have a good ground connection. NEVER
connect the machine ground wire to a gas pipe, water pipe, telephone cable or any
other unsuitable object.

COMPRESSED AIR HOOK-UP
CAUTION
All compressed air hook-ups must be carried out by qualified personnel only.
- The hook-up to the workshop's pneumatic system must ensure a minimum pressure of
7 bar (100 psi). Lower pressure levels may prevent the machine's AUTOMATIC WHEEL
LOCKING SYSTEM C from working properly.
- A universal union is used for connection to the compressed air system. No special or
additional adaptor is needed for connection. A pressure-resistant hose with 6mm inner
diameter and 14mm outer diameter must be fastened to the notched union using the
clamp provided with the machine.
