2.0 INTENDED USE
The machines described in this manual and their
different versions, are wheels balancing machines
for car and light transport, projected to be used
exclusively to cancel out, or at least reduce to ac-
ceptable limits the vibrations of the wheels, by fit-
ting counterweights of suitable size and in specific
positions to the same wheels that are not correctly
balanced.
DANGER: EMPLOYING THESE
MACHINES OUTSIDE THE USE
DESTINATION THEY HAVE BEEN
DESIGNED FOR (AS INDICATED
IN THIS MANUAL) IS INAPPROPRI-
ATE AND DANGEROUS.

3.0 SAFETY DEVICES
PERIODICALLY, AT LEAST MONTH-
LY, CHECK THE INTEGRITY AND
THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE
SAFETY AND PROTECTION DE-
VICES ON THE MACHINE.
• Master switch positioned on the rear of the ma-
chine
Its function is to disconnect machine electric supply.
• Protection guard
Its function is to protect the operator from possible
projections of materials on the wheel during its spin.
Wheel spinning is normally prevented if the wheel
protection guard is raised (open). When the
protection guard is open, this interrupts the cir-
cuit that triggers the motor and automatic start
is prevented, including in the case of an error.
Press stop key on the keyboard to stop wheel
rotation in emergency conditions.
3.1 Residual risks
The machine was subjected to a complete analysis of
risks according to reference standard EN ISO 12100.
Risks are as reduced as possible in relation with tech-
nology and product functionality.
Possible residual risks have been emphasized through
pictorial representations and warnings which placing is
indicated in “ PLATE POSITIONING TABLE” at page 6.
4.0 GENERAL SAFETY RULES
• Any tampering with or modification to the machine
not previously authorized by the manufacturer ex-
empts the latter from all responsibility for damage
caused by or derived from said actions.
• Removing of or tampering with the safety devices or
with the warning signals placed on the machine leads
to serious dangers and represents a transgression of
European safety rules.
• Use of the machine is only permitted in places free
from explosion or fire hazard and in dry places
under cover.
• Original spare parts and accessories should be used.
THE MANUFACTURER DENIES
ANY RESPONSIBILITY IN CASE
OF DAMAGES CAUSED BY UNAU-
THORIZED MODIFICATIONS OR
BY THE USE OF NON ORIGINAL
COMPONENTS OR EQUIPMENT.
• Installation must be conducted only by qualified
personnel exactly according to the instructions that
are given below.
• Ensure that there are no dangerous situations dur-
ing the machine operating manoeuvres. Immediately
stop the machine if it miss-functions and contact the
assistance service of an authorized dealer.
• In emergency situations and before carrying out any
maintenance or repairs, disconnect all supplies to
the machine by using the main switch, placed on the
machine itself, and unplugging the power supply.
• The machine electrical supply system must be
equipped with an appropriate earthing, to which
the yellow-green machine protection wire must be
connected.
• Ensure that the work area around the machine is free
of potentially dangerous objects and that there is no
oil since this could damage the tyre. Oil on the floor
is also a potential danger for the operator.
• UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES must the machine be
used to spin anything but vehicle wheels. Bad locking
can cause rotating parts to come loose, with potential
damage to the machine and anything in the vicinity
and injury to the operator.

12.0 FITTING THE WHEEL ON THE MAN-
DREL
To achieve perfect balancing, the wheel must be care-
fully and properly fitted on the mandrel. Imperfect
centring will inevitably cause unbalances.
WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT IS
THAT ORIGINAL CONES AND
ACCESSORIES, SPECIALLY DE-
SIGNED TO BE EMPLOYED WITH
THE WHEEL BALANCERS, ARE
USED.
Wheel fitting using the cones provided is illustrated be-
low. For alternative fittings, using optional accessories,
refer to the special instructions provided separately.
12.1 Wheel assembly
1. Remove any type of foreign body from the wheel
(Fig. 10 ref. 3): pre-existing weights, stones and
mud, and make sure the mandrel (Fig. 10 ref. 1)
and the rim centring area are clean before fitting
the wheel on the mandrel.
2. Carefully choose the cone (Fig. 10 ref. 2) most suit-
able for the wheel to be balanced. These accessories
must be selected according to the shape of the rim.
Position the wheel (Fig. 10 ref. 3), fitting the cone
(Fig. 10 ref. 2) on the mandrel (Fig. 10 ref. 1): be
careful (otherwise this could seize) until this rests
against the support flange (Fig. 10 ref. 4).
3. Fit the wheel with the inner side of the rim towards
the wheel balancer and against the cone.

14.0 WHEEL BALANCING
14.1 Determination of wheel dimensions
14.1.1 Automatic wheel dimension setting
of distance/diameter
The wheel balancing machines are featured with an
automatic rod; a simple and precise method that per-
mits automatically acquiring the wheel diameter at the
weight fitting point. The rod itself permits correctly
positioning the weights inside the wheel.
Weight fitting distance from machine must be set with
measurement unit “mm”.
Rim width and diameter values, on the other hand,
can be set in “inches” or “mm”; in the examples in this
manual “inch” values introduction is indicated.
The automatic rod, for detecting the distance value,
is started when it is removed from its initial position.
The automatic rod sometimes shall be positioned
inside rim, at the distance where any adhesive weight
shall be fitted (for example ALU-S), or sometimes
against rim inner edge (for example DYN).

INSTRUCTION, USE AND
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
• To make a measurement in STATIC mode (STAT):
Pull out the gauge rod and take it inside rim, at the
distance where you wish to position the adhesive
weight, if any (Fig. 15). Maintain this for a few sec-
onds. The indication of the acquired measurement
for the first point is given by the display of the rim
diameter on D2 screen and symbol "d" on D1 screen
(Fig. 16). The dimensions measurement in STATIC
mode is completed.

• To make a measurement in DYNAMIC mode (DYN):
Pull out the gauge rod and move it against the
rim inner edge (Fig. 15) in measurement posi-
tion, and maintain that position for a few sec-
onds; measurement will be acquired when the
detected value is displayed (Fig. 16). To com-
plete the entry of all the data necessary for the
DYNAMIC mode, wheel width shall be entered.
If the automatic external data gauge is not available,
the operator must press / keys until
the desired width value is reached. As soon as one
of these keys is pressed, the program will enter DY-
NAMIC mode.
Input the nominal width shown on the rim, or manu-
ally check by using the graduated caliper, positioning
it on the outer and inner side of the wheel (Fig. 17).
The measurement will have been acquired when the
detected rim width appears on “D2” display screen
and the "b" symbol appears on “D1” display screen
(Fig. 18).
