10.0 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
EVEN THE TINIEST PROCEDURE
OF AN ELECTRICAL NATURE
MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY PRO-
FESSIONALLY QUALIFIED STAFF.
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MA-
CHINE MAKE SURE THAT:
• THE MAIN POWER RATING COR-
RESPONDS TO THE MACHINE
RATING AS SHOWN ON THE
MACHINE PLATE;
• ALL MAIN POWER COMPO-
NENTS ARE IN GOOD CONDI-
TION;
• THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IS PROPERLY GROUNDED
(GROUND WIRE MUST BE THE
SAME CROSS-SECTION AREA
AS THE LARGEST POWER SUP-
PLY CABLES OR GREATER);
• MAKE SURE THAT THE ELEC-
TRICAL SYSTEM FEATURES A
CUTOUT WITH DIFFERENTIAL
PROTECTION SET AT 30 mA.
Connect the machine up to the mains by means of the
3-pole plug provided (110V single - 1ph - 60Hz).
If the plug provided is not suitable for the wall socket,
fit a plug that complies with local and applicable regu-
lations. This operation must be performed by expert
and professional personnel.
FIT A TYPE-APPROVED (AS RE-
PORTED BEFORE) PLUG TO THE
MACHINE CABLE (THE GROUND
WIRE IS YELLOW/GREEN AND
MUST NEVER BE CONNECTED TO
ONE OF THE TWO PHASE LEADS).
MAKE SURE THAT THE ELECTRI-
CAL SYSTEM IS COMPATIBLE
WITH THE RATED POWER AB-
SORPTION SPECIFIED IN THIS
MANUAL AND APT TO ENSURE
THAT VOLTAGE DROP UNDER
FULL LOAD WILL NOT EXCEED
4% OF RATED VOLTAGE (10%
UPON START-UP).
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE ABOVE
INSTRUCTIONS WILL IMMEDIATE-
LY INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY.
10.1 Electrical checks
BEFORE STARTING UP THE
WHEEL-BALANCER, BE SURE TO
BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE LO-
CATION AND OPERATION OF ALL
CONTROLS AND CHECK THEIR
PROPER OPERATION (SEE PAR.
“CONTROLS”).
CARRY OUT A DAILY CHECK OF
MAINTAINED-TYPE CONTROLS
CORRECT FUNCTIONING, BEFORE
STARTING MACHINE OPERATION.
Once the plug/socket connection has been made, turn
on the machine using the master switch (Fig. 22
ref. 1).

11.0 AIR CONNECTION
Connect the wheel balancer to the centralised com-
pressed-air system by means of the connection on the
back of the machine (see Fig. 23 ref. 1).
The air system supplying the machine must be able
to supply filtered and de-humidified air at a pressure
between 8 and 10 bar. It must feature an on-off valve
upstream of the machine.
Fig. 23
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.
MOST IMPORTANT IS THAT ORIGI-
NAL CONES AND ACCESSORIES
ARE USED MADE SPECIFICALLY
FOR USE ON THE WHEEL BAL-
ANCER.
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. Open the pneumatic mandrel by pressing the special
pedal, (see Fig. 24).
Fig. 24
Open/close the pneumatic
mandrel
2. Move rightwards excluded from supply (Fig. 25 ref. 1).
Fit the adapter flange (Fig. 25 ref. 2) on the man-
drel flange (Fig. 25 ref. 3).
3. Remove any type of foreign body from the wheel
(Fig. 25 ref. 4): pre-existing weights, stones and
mud, and make sure the mandrel (Fig. 25 ref. 5)
and the rim centring area are clean before fitting
the wheel on the mandrel.
