Assembly and Setup
Floor and Space Requirements
Floor must be solid and flat concrete. The
balancer need to be bolted to the floor in normal
service. The balancer may be bolted to the floor
with anchor bolts through the three support feet,
but will require an alternate electrical connection
method. Sufficient space must be provided
above and around the balancer for mounting and
demounting wheels.
Unpacking the Unit
1. Remove the shipping carton from the pallet.
2. Remove all loose parts and accessories
packed around the unit.
Remove Balancer from Pallet
3. Remove the shipping bolts that hold the balancer
to the pallet.
Do not use the control pod,
control pod arm, faceplate, hood or stub
shaft tolift the balancer.
Use help to remove the
balancer from the pallet.
Theunit is heavy and the weight is not evenly
distributed. Dropping the unit may cause
personal injury or equipmentdamage.
4. Lift the balancer off the pallet and place it in its
operating location.
5. Install and tighten the threaded stud
(adapter)into the end of the motor shaft.
Connecting to Power
Consult a licensed electrical contractor for
proper connection that meets local electrical
codes. Power outlets must be located in a
floor raceway or overhead drop if pedestrians
or equipment traffic pose a threat of damage
to the power cord.
The balancer requires a nomina 100 VAC,
50/60 Hz, single-phase power supply with a
three-pin safety outlet.
Electrical outlets must have a solid
connection of less than 1 ohm between the
ground pin and building ground.
Operation with a
defective ground circuit will create a
shock hazard for the operator, damage the
unit electronics, and will void the warranty.
Power and ground requirements must be
verified by the installer or an inspector before
connecting the balancer. Failure to observe
this precaution may void the warranty.
If the balancer is bolted to the floor, a
licensed electrical contractor must be
consulted. Most electrical codes require
“hard” wiring when the balancer is bolted
down.
Initial Testing
1. Plug the unit into an appropriate power
outlet. If the circuit breaker for the outlet is off,
turn it on.
2. Turn the balancer on. The power switch is on
the side of the unit.

◎ Well–balanced tire will show “100”-“00” (±4g )
after self calibration. 100g counterbalance is rightly
under
main shaft when outside lamps are all on
( 4°error is allowed), this proves phase angle is
correct.
Two key elements to judge if self calibration is
accurate or not
1. Accurate data indication
2. Show that phase is right (namely outside lamps are
all lightning and 100g counterbalance is rightly under
shaft).
Problems that occur after self calibration:
Malfunctioning:
“Err. -8-“ showed
Cause:
A . Problems with computer board.
B . The circuit of sensor is broken.
Malfunctioning:
Data indicated has a big deviation
Cause:
A. The edge outside wheel is irregular and under bad
condition
B. Parameter data lose or error
