1.0 GENERAL INTRODUCTION
This manual is an integral part of the product and
must be retained for the whole operating life of the
machine.
Carefully study the warnings and instructions con-
tained in this manual. It contains important instruc-
tions regarding FUNCTIONING, SAFE USE and
MAINTENANCE.
KEEP THE MANUAL IN A KNOWN,
EASILY ACCESSIBLE PLACE FOR
ALL ACCESSORY OPERATORS
TO CONSULT IT WHENEVER IN
DOUBT.
THE MANUFACTURER DISCLAIMS
ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY
DAMAGE OCCURRED WHEN THE
INDICATIONS GIVEN IN THIS
MANUAL ARE NOT RESPECTED:
AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE NON-
COMPLIANCE WITH SUCH INDI-
CATIONS MIGHT LEAD TO EVEN
SERIOUS DANGERS.
1.1 Introduction
Thank you for preferring this wheel balancer. We feel
sure you will not regret your decision.
This machine has been designed for use in profes-
sional workshops and stands out for its reliability
and easy, safe and rapid operation. With just a small
degree of maintenance and care, this wheel balancer
will give you many years of trouble-free service and
lots of satisfaction.
2.0 INTENDED USE
The machines described in this manual and their
different versions, are wheels balancing machines
for car, light transport and truck wheels, projected
to be used exclusively to cancel out, or at least
reduce to acceptable limits wheels’ vibrations, by
fitting 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.
THE MANUFACTURER CANNOT
BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY
DAMAGE CAUSED BY IMPROPER,
ERRONEOUS, OR UNACCEPTABLE
USE.
AN INTENSIVE USE OF THE EQUIP-
MENT IN INDUSTRIAL ENVIRON-
MENT IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
2.1 Training of personnel
The machine may be operated only by suitably
trained and authorized personnel.
Given the complexity of the operations necessary to
manage the machine and to carry out the operations
safely and efficiently, the personnel must be trained
in such a way that they learn all the information
necessary to operate the machine as intended by the
manufacturer.
A CAREFUL READING OF THIS
INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR
USE AND MAINTENANCE AND A
SHORT PERIOD OF TRAINING
WITH SKILLED PERSONNEL CAN
BE AN ENOUGH PREVENTIVE
PREPARATION.

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 to stop wheel rotation in
emergency conditions.
• Laser safety (in case the laser device is present)
This is a Class I/1 (with Class II/2 embedded)
laser product which, during normal operation,
does not permit human access to laser radiation
in excess of Class I/1. This product complies with
21CFR1040.10/.11 and IEC EN60825. The system
is fully interlocked to prevent accidental access to
laser radiation. Any attempt to defeat the safety inter-
lock elements of this product is a violation of Safety
Standards which this product complies with, and the
protection provided by the product may be impaired.
USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUST-
MENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF
PROCEDURES OTHER THAN
THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY
RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIA-
TION EXPOSURE.
APERTURE
Side of product nearest port (see
“Plates location table”).
CLASSIFICATION
Rear of product (see “Plates location
table”).
CERTIFICATION
Rear of product (see “Plates location
table”).
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.
In case the laser device is present
THIS DEVICE IS EQUIPPED WITH
A LASER, A TOOL THAT USES
LASER BEAMS, PROPERLY INTER-
FACED WITH THE SOFTWARE THE
DEVICE IS EQUIPPED WITH. IT
ENSURES PRECISION MEASURE-
MENTS AND INDICATIONS OF THE
SHAPE AND SIZE OF THE WHEEL
RIM.
THIS DEVICE IS EQUIPPED WITH
A CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT.
WARNING AND INFORMATION
PLATES HAVE BEEN APPLIED
OUTSIDE THE DEVICE (AS ILLUS-
TRATED BELOW), IN ORDER TO
INDICATE THE PRESENCE AND
EMPLOYMENT OF LASER MEAS-
URING INSTRUMENTS.
DO NOT STARE THE LASER BEAM
DIRECTLY AT CLOSE RANGE
WHILE THE EQUIPMENT IS OP-
ERATING.

INSTRUCTION, USE AND
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
OPERATORS MUST WEAR SUIT-
ABLE WORK CLOTHES, PROTEC-
TIVE GLASSES AND GLOVES,
AGAINST THE DANGER FROM
THE SPRAYING OF DANGEROUS
DUST, AND POSSIBLY LOWER
BACK SUPPORTS FOR THE LIFT-
ING OF HEAVY PARTS. DANGLING
OBJECTS LIKE BRACELETS MUST
NOT BE WORN, AND LONG HAIR
MUST BE TIED UP. FOOTWEAR
SHOULD BE ADEQUATE FOR THE
TYPE OF OPERATIONS TO BE CAR-
RIED OUT.
• The machine handles and operating grips must be
kept clean and free from oil.
• The workshop must be kept clean and dry. Make sure
that the working premises are properly lit.
The machine can be operated by a single operator.
Unauthorized personnel must remain outside the
working area, as shown in Fig. 3.
Avoid any hazardous situations. Do not use air-
operated or electrical equipment when the shop is
damp or the floor slippery and do not expose such
tools to atmospheric agents.
• When operating and servicing this machine, carefully
follow all applicable safety and accident-prevention
precautions.
The machine must not be operated by untrained
personnel.
DURING MANDREL OPENING/
CLOSING OPERATIONS, BE CARE-
FUL NOT TO LET YOUR HANDS
AND OTHER BODY PARTS NEAR
THE MOVING MANDREL.
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.
