Sealey VS1819.V2 User manual

3.1 Assembling the Wheel Balancer.
3.1.1 Place the uprights onto the base (with the bearings facing inwards) and position them over the inner or outer pre-drilled holes
depending on your requirements. Secure to the base as shown in fig.1 below using two 8mm socket cap bolts, two washers and two
8mm nuts. You will require a 13mm spanner to hold the nuts steady and a 6mm hex key to tighten the bolts.
3.1.2 Place the bubble indicator over the hole in the base and align the three holes in its flange with the three holes in the base. Secure with
the 3 small screws and nuts supplied. See fig.2.
3.1.3 Thread an 8mm nut onto each foot and screw it down to the bottom of the thread but leave it loose.
3.1.4 Screw the 4 feet into the base of the balancer, as shown in fig.1. Adjust the feet until the bubble indicator shows that the base is level.
3.1.5 Fix the positions of all four feet by tightening up the 8mm nut to the underside of the metalwork.

3.2 Using the Wheel Balancer
3.2.1 Use the balancer on a stable, level surface. If necessary
adjust the feet until the bubble level is central. Screw the leg
nuts tight to the base to secure the legs.
3.2.2 Slide the balancer spindle through the motorcycle wheel
hollow axle and slide a cone onto either end of the spindle so
that the tapered ends enter the wheel bearings. When the
wheel is central on the spindle, secure the cones by
tightening the grub screw in each using a 3mm hex key.
Check that the wheel is central on the spindle and firmly
secured by the cones for best results. At either end of the
spindle slide on the two circular stops, then place onto the
bearings on the two uprights. Move the stops to the outer
ends of the spindle but allow a small gap clearance to avoid
the bearing securing screws interfering with the spindle
movement. Tighten the grub screw within the stops to secure
them to the spindle. See fig.3
3.2.3 With the wheel securely on the wheel balancer, gently rotate
the wheel. When the wheel settles, the spot at the bottom of
the wheel is the "heavy spot."
3.2.4 Now with the heavy spot at the bottom mark the top of the
wheel directly opposite the heavy spot using chalk or
adhesive tape. This is the "light spot" see fig.4A.
3.2.5 Gently spin the wheel again to ensure that the heavy spot will
again settle at the bottom. (fig.4)
3.2.6 Attach some wheel weights to the rim of the wheel at the
"light spot" (fig.4A) and spin the wheel gently.
3.2.7 If the "light spot" falls to the bottom, too much weight has
been added to the wheel. If the heavy spot falls to the bottom,
not enough weight has been added to the wheel. Add /
Remove weight as required (fig.5)
3.2.8 Turn the "light spot" 90 degrees so it sits horizontally with the
heavy spot and observe its movements, if again it falls to the
bottom, too much weight has been added, if the "heavy spot"
falls, too little weight has been added. (fig.5)
3.2.9 Repeat until the light spot and heavy spot are on a horizontal
line through the centre of the wheel. Once this has been
achieved the wheel should rest still at any position through
the wheels circumference.
