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.

TRANSPORT, STORAGE AND HANDLING
Handling and manoeuvring before installation
The basic wheel balancer packaging consists of 1 wooden crate containing:
- the wheel balancer
- equipment;
Before installation, the wheel balancer must be shipped in its original packaging, making
sure that the machine is maintained in the position indicated on the outer packaging. The
machine can be moved by placing the packaging on a wheeled trolley or inserting the
forks of a fork lift truck in the relative slots in the pallet (Fig. 1).

- Packaging dimensions:
Length Depth Height Weight Packaging weight
(mm) (mm) (mm) (kg) (kg)

- The machine must be stored in an environment meeting the following requirements:
• relativehumidityrangingfrom20%to95%;
• temperaturerangingfrom-10°to+60°C.
WARNING
Do not stack more than two packs to avoid damaging them.
After installation, the machine can be moved using the following methods:
- with a crane, using special equipment that holds the machine at the designated lifting
points (Fig. 2);
- by inserting the forks of a lift truck under the machine so that the centre of the forks
correspond approximately to the centre line of the body (Fig. 3).

CAUTION
Always unplug the power supply cable from the socket before moving the machine.
CAUTION
Never apply force to the wheel spin shaft when moving the machine.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Take the utmost care when unpacking, assembling, lifting and setting up the machine
as indicated below.
Failure to observe these instructions can damage the machine and compromise the
operator's safety.
Removetheoriginalpackagingmaterialsafterpositioningthemasindicatedon thepackaging
and keep them intact so the machine can be safely shipped at a later date if necessary.
CAUTION
Choose the place of installation in compliance with local regulations on occupational
safety.
In particular, the machine must only be installed and used in protected environments
where there is no risk of anything dripping onto it.
IMPORTANT: for the correct and safe operation of the machine, the lighting level in the
place of use should be at least 300 lux.
The floor must be strong enough to support a load equal to the weight of the equipment

72 B 215 / B 225 Evo Operator’s manual
plus the maximum load allowed. The support base on the floor and the envisaged fixing
means must also be taken into account.
Environmental operating conditions must comply with the following requirements:
-relativehumidityrangingfrom30%to80%(withoutcondensation);
-temperaturerangingfrom0°to+50°C.
WARNING
For information concerningthe technical features, warningsand maintenance instructions
consult the related operator manuals provided with the documentation of the machine.
CAUTION
The machine must not be operated in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The machine is supplied partially disassembled and is to be assembled according to the
procedures described below.
Fixing the machine to the ground (Fig. 5)
Themachine isto befixed tothe groundif:
- It does not have the accessory triangular
foot.
- If it does have the accessory triangular
foot but is going to be used with wheels
heavier than 50Kg. In such a case the
triangular foot will have to be removed
in order to fix the front bracket.
- Undo the three M8x60 hex head screws
fastening the machine to the pallet.
- Remove the plastic washers between
the casing and the three L brackets:
these brackets will be used to fasten the
machine to the floor.
- Refit the brackets on the machine in the
original positions, without tightening the screws.
- Positionthemachine onthegroundinthe selected
position and make sure that the surrounding
spaces correspond to the minimum values indi-
cated in Fig. 4.
- Trace the position for drilling on the floor.
- Drill in the traced position and then take the
included Fischer M8 and insert them into the
holes that were made.
- Secure the machine to the floor by fastening the
L brackets to the Fischer anchor bolts using the
relative screws and washers (fig.5).
- Tighten the three fastener screws to the casing.

Fitting the external mechanical sensor and relative support
(ifavailable)
- Fasten the external sensor support to the wheel balancer body using the three screws
supplied with the machine (A, fig.5b);
- Insert the external sensor pin (B, fig.5b) in the sensor support bush (C, fig.5b);
- Screw the screw (D, fig.5b) bringing it closer to the sensor pin without touching it;
- Make sure that the external sensor rotates freely;
- Connect one of the sensor's cable connectors to the socket located on the sensor body
(H, fig. 5a);
- Tape the cable to the sensor support (F, fig. 5b) so that it is never tensioned;
- Connect the sensor cable connector to the machine's rear panel (G, fig.5b).
IMPORTANT: after installing the external sensor, calibrate the sensor as described in
the paragraph “Width sensor calibration”.

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specifications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
WARNING
The compressed air hook-up may only be performed if the pneumatic ring nut is sup-
plied (optional accessory supplied on request).
CAUTION
All compressed air hook-ups must be carried out by qualified personnel only.
- The hook-up to the workshop compressed air system must ensure a minimum pressure
of 8 bar.
- 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.
