1. Getting Started
This manual provides operation instructions and informa-
tion required to operate the SmartWeight® Elite.
Read and become familiar with the contents of this man-
ual prior to operating the equipment. The owner of this
equipment is solely responsible for arranging technical
training.
The SmartWeight® Elite is to be operated only by quali-
fied trained technicians. Maintaining records of personnel
trained is solely the responsibility of the owner and man-
agement. This manual assumes the technician has al-
ready been trained in basic balancing procedures.

2. For Your Safety
2.1. Hazard Definitions
Watch for these symbols:
CAUTION
Caution: Hazards or unsafe practices,
which could result in minor personal
injury or product or property damage.
WARNING
Warning: Hazards or unsafe practices,
which could result in severe personal
injury or death.
DANGER
Danger: Immediate hazards, which
will result in severe personal injury or
death.
These symbols identify situations that could be detrimen-
tal to your safety and or cause equipment damage.
2.2. Important Safety Instructions -
Electrical
Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or equip-
ment that has been dropped or damaged until examined
by a Hunter Service Representative.
If an extension cord is necessary, it must have a current
rating equal to or more than that of the equipment. Cords
rated for less may overheat. Arrange the cord so that it will
not be tripped over or pulled.
Never use the cord to pull the plug from the outlet
Verify that the electrical supply circuit and the receptacle
are properly grounded.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use on wet
surfaces or expose to rain.
Verify the appropriate electrical supply circuit is the same
voltage and amperage ratings as marked on the equip-
ment before operating.
WARNING
DO NOT ALTER THE ELECTRICAL
PLUG. Plugging the electrical plug in-
to an unsuitable supply circuit will
damage the equipment and may result
in personal injury.
When servicing the SmartWeight® Elite, power must be
disconnected by removing the power cord from the electri-
cal outlet. Ensure that the SmartWeight® Elite power
switch is in the off position ("O" position) before plugging
the power cord into the electrical power outlet.
2.3. Important Safety Instructions -
Operation
To reduce the risk of fire, do not operate equipment near
open containers of flammable liquids (gasoline). Read and
follow all caution and warning labels affixed to your equip-
ment and tools. Misuse of this equipment can cause per-
sonal injury and shorten the life of the equipment. Keep all
instructions permanently with the unit. Keep all decals, la-
bels, and notices clean and visible. To prevent accidents
and/or damage to the Balancerrecommended accesso-

ries. Use equipment only as described in this manual.
Never stand on the Balancer. Wear non-slip safety foot-
wear when operating the Balancer. Keep hair, loose cloth-
ing, neckties, jewelry, fingers, and all parts of body away
from all moving parts. ALWAYS WEAR OSHA AP-
PROVED SAFETY GLASSES. Eyeglasses that have only
impact resistant lenses are NOT safety glasses.
2.4. Important Safety Instruction -
Balancers
Keep the safety hood and its safety interlock system in
good working order.
Do not place any tools, weights, or other objects on the
safety hood while operating the balancer.
Verify that the wheel is mounted properly and that the
wing nut is firmly tightened before spinning the wheel.
The safety hood must be closed before touching the green
“START” button, to spin the wheel.
Raise safety hood only after wheel has come to a com-
plete stop. If safety hood is raised before the spin is com-
pleted, the weight values will not be displayed.
The red “STOP” button, can be used for emergency stops.
2.5. Decal Information & Placement
- Balancers
• Decal 128-1244-2 cautions the operator that spindle ro-
tation may occur with foot pedal depression and to keep
clear of clamping components during shaft rotation.
• Decal 128-964-2 gives the maximum wheel diameter
and maximum wheel weight for the SmartWeight® Elite.
• EN/IEC Class 1 Laser Product Certification is shown on
Decal 128-1638-2. This label shows the EN/IEC stand-
ards for a Class 1 Laser Product.
• An explanation of FDA compliance standards is shown
on Decal 128-1117-2. FDA performance standards com-
pliance is shown on the decal.
• For units with TDC Laser, FDA standards for Class 2M
laser compliance are shown on Decal 128-1155-2.
• Decal 128-381-2 warns the operator not to remove the
covered of the SmartWeight® Elite because of the risk
of the electrical shock and not to use below garage floor
level.
• ETL certification standards are outlined on Decal
128-1120-2. Users are cautioned not to use the balanc-
er below garage level.
• A manufacturer's identification is also on the rear of the
balancer.
2.6. Balancer Power Source Precau-
tion
The SmartWeight® Elite is intended to operate from a
power source that will apply 230VAC +10% / -15%, 1
phase, 10 amp 50/60 Hz power.
The power cable includes NEMA 20 amp plug, L6-20P,
between the supply conductors of the power cord.
The power cord supplied utilizes a twist lock connector.
NEMA L6-20P Plug
CAUTION
A protective ground connection,
through the grounding conductor is
the power cord, is essential for safe
operation. Use only a power cord that
is in good condition.
NOTE
For information on converting from
single phase NEMA L6-20P plug to a
three phase NEMA L15-20P plug refer
to Form 5350-T
2.7. Optical Scan Laser Precaution
The Optical Scan Laser is a Class 1 laser designed to
measure the profile of wheel assemblies. The laser is not
a field serviceable part. No maintenance is to be per-
formed on the laser.
Wavelength: 650nm.
2.8. HammerHead TDC Laser Pre-
caution (optional equipment)
The TDC (Top Dead Center) Laser Indicator is a class 2M
laser designed to aid in applying clip-on weights.
BM07900-00 SmartWeight® Elite Operations Manual

The laser is not a field serviceable or adjustable part.
Use caution in regard to reflective materials around the la-
ser and never look into the laser beam.
LASER RADIATION - DO NOT STARE INTO THE BEAM
OR VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS.
Viewing the laser output with magnifiers or related optical
instruments within a distance of 100mm from the laser
aperture may pose an eye hazard.
2.9. Turning Power ON / OFF
2.9.1. Push Button Switch
The balancer is equipped with a push button power switch
located on the left side of the LCD support. Use this
switch for normal shut down and restarting procedures.
CAUTION
Always use the power button on the
LCD support turn on/off in order to
prevent data loss.
2.9.2. Main Power Switch
The main power ON/OFF switch is located on the back of
the balancer cabinet.
To power the balancer “ON,” press the “I” side of the
ON/OFF switch. To turn all power the balancer “OFF,”
press the “O” side of the ON/OFF switch.

3. Operation
3.1. Getting Wheel On Balancer
CAUTION
Use two hands to maintain control of
the wheel
Slide proper collet onto spindle shaft. Position wheel lift
carriage (“lift”) at the end of the lift rail. Press the foot ped-
al down to lower lift. Roll wheel onto the lift. Raise foot
pedal to raise wheel into position to slide it on spindle.
Center wheel on collet and clamp. Keep lift under wheel
and close hood. Lift will automatically lower.
TIP
Allowing the balancer to lower lift will
speed up removal.
3.2. Remove Wheel From Balancer
Place lift under wheel and raise it to wheel. Remove wheel
clamp. Slide lift with wheel on it to end of lift rail. Use ped-
al to lower lift.
3.3. Centering Check
CenteringCheck® is an inspection or verification of the
wheel’s mount to balance to identify possible centering er-
rors, thus recognizing improper measurements. From the
main balance screen, touch the “CenteringCheck” button.
3.4. Print Summary
From the main balance screen, select “Print” → “Vehicle
Summary”. The Vehicle Summary screen will be dis-
played.
3.5. Inflation Station
Inflation Station provides preset tire pressure. Lift inflation
hose from cradle and setting screen will pop up. Set target
air pressure arrows.
